Yeah, more than likely. My memory says "chicks", but it's been wrong before.
Pocket knives.

Benchmade Griptilian or Mini Griptilian. Very reliable, functional and high quality but not that expensive. Easy one-handed operation with the Axis lock and thumb control. I've been carrying one for almost 20 years.

I pulled out a handful of pocket knives just for fun.
The two red balisongs on the left I purchased as camping knives for my wife and me. Her's is still in mint condition. Mine's been used heavily. :laughing:
The little black balisong I got from my dad. He got it in the Philippines during WWII.
The pakka wood knife to the right of that I carried for many years when I wasn't at work.
The dark red handled single blade Victorinox Floral knife above the balisongs was bright red when I got it. That's the one I carried for over 30 years and retired. It's my favorite knife. As mentioned earlier, it's so handy, I bought one for each of my kids, myself, and a spare. $15.00.
The rest are just knives I found in my father and both my grandfather's belongings after they passed.
The top center 4-bladed one is a scouting knife. The emblem is on the reverse side.
The little pearl colored one is from Mt. Vernon.
I've got a Nixon/Agnew knife around somewhere :laughing:

If you want to see some incredible knife making that is akin to a Rolex, google Joe Kious and the pocket locket knife style he pioneered.
Here's one example. Pocket Locket
I shared a campfire with him a year before he passed. He said he once was commissioned to make a knife that sold for $40K

Coast FX200 in my pocket - kinda flat so you don't even notice it's there. Buck (110 ???) on my belt. Both keep an excellent edge.

I also have one of these; it's a reproduction, but I've had it for more than 40 years.

Made in China. What a shame. Guess they had to keep them affordable.

Wow - that makes the one I posted more akin to a Seiko in comparison.
