recommendations for a good pocket knife

[Old Tup]

Had one of these until lost……
Fits in pocket well….easy to sharpen and holds its edge really well….
Probably cheaper if shopped around a bit…(Googling)

These are the best knife, no question and only cost about £2k, but you do get a free pallet of grass seeds…….

Leather man skeletool can do so much with it I would find it hard to go back to just having a knife now. It’s ok it your pocket and the knife will keep a good edge.

Leather man Wave in belt pouch, opinel in my pocket. Don’t need Leatherman often , but when you do it’s invaluable, opinel is the one that holds the sharpest edge….. cheap as chips, unlike the Leatherman

Folding stanley type with spare blades, great for silage wrap cutting.

Swiss Army Knife, always have one in my pocket on a sink chain attached to my belt loop, got fed up always looking for it.

One handed opening preferably.

Everybody seems to rate Leatherman.
I find the multitools to big and heavy for a pocket but recently bought one of these as I have no need for pliers but find screwdrivers very handy.
It is designed for one-handed use.

Personally Im not a fan of opinel I find the blades aren't strong enough and can snap when your giving it some welly cutting bale plastic & it's a bit of an arse having to turn that thing to lock the blade,
I really like lambs foot penknife's no nonsense cheap at a tenner and hold edge pretty well

I have an earlier version of this;https://www.screwfix.com/p/trend-di...X9ByT1C1ETM_Dr6SNFhoCXvgQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
I have a selection of knives with each for a particular purpose but the all serving traditional pocket knife is a hard one to find as some are complete carp and others are great. IMO I'd want a locker like an Opinel as these do the job and are made of reasonable steel. I was gifted a old fashioned type like the Sinclair pictured with a spike as well when I was travelling in OZ. I have this in my workshop for 'general work'.
No good moaning about lack of sharpness with the above and a short time rubbing plus a little spit!
For times away from home I will have my 'Swisstool' to hand. https://www.victorinox.com/uk/en/Products/Swiss-Army-Knives/Swiss-Tools/Swiss-Tool/p/3.0323.L
Some of my knives are worth silly money now which surprised me. A Mick Langley I bought 20 years back for skinning has a surprising resale value.
Don't buy sh1t as you'll injure yourself with nasty consequences.

Ah, @Kate040 remembered at last.....
Found it.....I bought Mrs SS this for cutting wrap & string & general around the Smallholding stuff;https://heinnie.com/svord-peasant-k...b4lz_puk0bFvcnBT49GvM7gb45ZEBjUxoCmFoQAvD_BwE
Can't beat it for price, quality, leagality too and just general usefulness.

Hmmmm, I think @Ceri, that your knife may be approaching your 'Triangle of Death' there

 

[Exfarmer]

Last opinel I bought, the lock is s***e and just not safe. They are some of the best steel though

Rep gave me a three in one at a show. Had it for three years,brother borrowed it for THREE MINUTES and lost it. Three must be my unlucky number.

Opinel no 8 .got a no 9 but find it a little big in pocket.

Every time my sodding brother lost one of mine,I went up a size. Number 10 stopped the rot because it's big enough to feel it's in your pocket all the time
