ves Daily Carry Knives
Case Mother of Pearl LockbackAs you probably already know, we love shiny things – and Case’s Mother of Pearl Lockback is shiny. While we wouldn’t want to carry it in the shop, we’d love this as a daily carry knife for the office. Its smallish form-factor (3” long, closed) makes it unobtrusive yet functional, and the mother of pearl covers make it a knife that’ll be handed down for generations.
Street Pricing: $100
Case 6.5 Bonestag Tiny Trapper The Case 6.5 Bone Stag Tiny Trapper represents an excellent daily carry knife with a good-looking handle and useable blades. Closed, the knife is only 2-3/8” long, and the rounded corners slip cleanly in and out of pockets. Good form + good function = great knife.
Street Pricing: $40
Buck TrapperThis is a solid everyday knife that's at home in the shop or in your pocket for everyday use -- a good entry into pocket knives. Spey and Clip patterned blades will take care of most daily carry needs.
Street Pricing: $20

Buck StockmanMuch like the Trapper in concept, the Stock-man adds a common drop-point blade.
Street Pricing: $20
Buck NoblemanThe Nobleman is a bit more contemporary in its design. Featuring a slimline form factor and a frame-lock -- as well as a thumb knob opening -- it integrates modern features into a 3-3/4” classic look.
Street Pricing: $20
Buck Metro LED A compact, ergonomically-shaped knife featur-ing a 5mm LED light, the Buck Metro LED also doubles as a keychain. (Just don’t bring it to the airport.) Its 1-1/4” blade is cradled by a 2-3/8” stainless steel sub-frame and a nylon handle. Batteries included.
Street Pricing: $25

ves Multi-Tools
Buck SummitBackpackers, campers, and climbers enjoy knives that can be opened single-handed, and Buck’s Summit fits the bill, featuring a thermo-plastic sub-handle with anodized aluminum overlays. The 2-1/2” liner-locking blade is both serrated and straight, and the Summit includes a variety of camper-friendly tools.
Street Pricing: $50
Buck X-Tract
Buck’s X-Tract multi-function tool offers one-hand access to everything, but unlike typical multi-tools, it features a serious blade. Its traditional black nylon handle offers good leverage and durability, making this a great choice for those who are active outdoors.
Street Pricing: $30
Case XX-ChangerCase’s XX-Changer features an inter-changeable blade system and ships with four blades: a drop point knife, a saw, a gut hook, and a clip blade. The blades switch on and off an oversized stainless-steel pivot pin, and the knife along with its accessories fit into an included leather sheath.
Street Pricing: $90

Case KodiakEven if you’re not a hunter, the workmanship and materials that go into Case’s Kodiak make it a great collector’s knife. The handle’s made from buffalo horn, and the pommel and guard are formed from polished brass. The whole knife makes a stunning presentation piece.
Street Pricing: $125
Buck Grand Opening Scimitar
For the serious Buck collector – we know a few of these – Buck produces a scaled replica of the scimitars used in the 1996 California Buck Headquarters ground breaking and the 2005 Idaho grand opening ribbon cutting ceremony. They’re signed by Chuck Buck and C.J. Buck, and the handle is stacked masonite and polished aluminum. They’re 8” long.
