I have a yellow handled Case 4 inch [large] trapper with the CV [carbon] blades . Case is a very nice knife and the yellow is traditional and the blade steel is their first blade steel from 100 years ago before they added the stainless steel . I like the carbon because it will acquire a patina and sharpens very nicely .

Stainless pocket knives are for the lazy who can't take the time to actually sharpen a knife. Some are so cheap that they actually bend under moderate use. There are still lots and lots of carbon bladed pocket knives around and like you said they sharpen nicely. I like the bone handled pocket knives for their looks and durability. Since nobody uses a pocket watch anymore the watch pockets of dungarees have a use with a little pocket knife which is always where you can find it if you need it. I heard that switchblade spring operated knives are legal to carry if you have a fishing license but I'm not sure.
That was like a year ago...Still got mine and havn't cut a gd thing with it!
I have several Gerbers with holes in the blade. One finger goes through the hole and the blade rotates around your finger when opening. They are really hard to drop or have taken out of your hand. I slicked them up until they almost fall open.favorite for what? daily carry? dressing a deer? The job determines which is the right tool. I am in and out of a place that decries carrying a knife, of any size, so I can't have it be showing a spring clip. Most of the lockblades, , when you carry them in a pocket, the thumbstuds wear holes in your pockets. So I favor the Spiderco, with the hole in the blade.
