I changed pants the other day, and lost my pocketknife for three days. <\/p>\n

Now, I have a hundred pocketknives, so I had something else to use in the interim, but this knife- a Schrade Old Timer 330T<\/a>– has been with me nearly forty years- the thought that I’d lost it would devastate me- had me freaking out, in fact, a lot of the week. <\/p>\n

So I’m going to retire it. It’s always been razor sharp and in my pocket. I need it to be in my posession all the rest of my life- I intend to be buried with it, wrapped in the Hudson’s Bay blanket the Ogwife bought me for my birthday nearly twenty years ago, the blanket we snuggle under together on cold winter nights now. <\/p>\n

So it will go someplace safe. And I will replace it. It’s possible to find the same knife on Ebay, but I’m also thinking about a three bladed knife, clip, sheepfoot, and spey. Like this Premium Stockman<\/a><\/p>\n

I just don’t like stainless. And the modern, stainless ones are all chinese- though that concerns me less than the stainless-ness.<\/p>\n

I’m not tied to the old-timer. I’d be happy with any high quality carbon steel knife wiht those specs- and I specificaly like the “muskrat” type clip blade of the Premium Stockman. Suggestions?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
