What's in your pocket?

[Beap52 1,511]

You'll likely never find me without certain objects in my pocket.  Right front: coins, pocket knife, Chapstick, and nail clippers.  Left front: keys. Left rear will always have a handkerchief and right rear will comb and billfold.  I also seldom wear a shirt without a pocket. 

 

Unfortunately, my pocket knife has met it's end.  It's been getting loosey goosey for some time.   It's hard to find a good ole USA made knife and I've carried this one for years.  I've misplaced it a couple of times but fortunately, my wife will let me borrow the one she carries in her purse.  I may hit some local antique/flea shops and see if I can find one.  I've got several in a drawer but none of them suit my tastes.

Yup.  Old Timers are still made, but now in China.  I've been carrying a Case medium stockman for quite a while now.  Probably have collected 8 or 10 variations of them over the last couple decades.

 

Being left handed, folding money, coins, and pocket knife are in the left front pocket - keys too, when I'm carrying them.  Wallet in the left rear - unless I'm in a crowded area - then it goes in the left front.

 

I've got a Caniadian dollar coin and a couple Kennedy half dollars that I've carried so long that the faces of the coins show noticeable wear.

Our plumber at work carries a pair of Channel locks and a 12" Crescent wrench in his front pocket. Always.

@Beap52 right front pocket is a Swiss Army knife, model Tinker. It has all the essentials, couple of different blades, couple of different screw drivers, toothpick, tweezers and an awl. Call it my toolbox in a pocket. Small enough but not bulky.

Right rear     nose blower. shop rag

Left rear       wallet

Left front       phone   car key

Right front     nitro pills, knife, .32 auto

 

I carried this Case XX 6347HP stockman for many decades.   It has field dressed bear, antelope, and many deer.

I retired it when the salt water started to take its toll.   Yes, I used it to cut bait and clean fish.

I carried this Schrade Old Timer 80T for a while, but with its squareish corners, it never felt as good as the Case.

Then a good friend and business associate gave me this single blade all stainless Zippo that is 1/3 the thickness, easy to carry,  and is very easy to keep sharp.

BTW, Zippo is now the parent Co. of Case.  Still making Case and Zippo knives in Bradford, Pa.

Pocket knife only ... the kind everyone has now with the clip. Got tired of the girls asking if I had a roll of quarters in my pocket or if I was just glad to see them... 

Only the 10 dollar knives tho if I get a nice knife sure to lose it. 

Dad left me a bunch of those Old Timers Beaps. If I can find them I'll send you one. I'll just lose it if I carry and I highly doubt they'll bury them with me either.

Left front small Buck knife and pills. A couple of coins (sometimes). Right front phone. Left rear wallet, right rear handkerchief and keys. Items in front pockets varies according to whim.

 

 

Oh, and I forgot that there is usually a quarter for a cart at Aldi.

Normally,1 frt pocket wallet. Other frt. phone. Nothing else. Pants won't stay up as it is. Keys go in back only if I'm going into a store ect. On the hook at home. At work a multi tool in the wallet pocket and on the doggie trail a knife.

I gots lottsa pockets, and so I keep lottsa stuffs.

 

Usually, on any given day, I have my wallet, chapstick, pistol, flashlight, cell phone, some loose change, my knife (either my Kershaw knifedriver or my Trump Tactical knife) maybe a socket or a wrench or some such, probably an old lube sticker, pen, marker, a few other random items.

Nearly always with me: Victorinox Classic linked to a ThruNite Ti3 V2 flashlight (AAA), two car fobs & house key, wallet, clean handkerchief, mechanical pencil

Started carrying knives in Scouts, Mom started me on handkerchiefs, my son on the tiny flashlight. The linked knife and light are a lot harder to lose and both have come in handy more often than I can recall. A pencil instead of a pen because I can erase oopses.

Around the house and shop just a zippo knife and the shop keys.

I only carry my wallet when I am driving. I grab it and my keys on the way out.

Had one for years and it worked well and lost it and upgraded to the lighter plastic handle zippo.

Keys front right,

phone lower right,

wallet back right.

random other stuff on the left since usually the right is full.
