My father told me about the same thing 45 years ago. A man should always have a knife in his pocket. Thanks Mr. Miculek

[@reagenpollard774]

Hey, Jerry! Can I add one more rule: Never forget to put your blade in your checked luggage for air travel. (That's been a tough lesson for me over the years. Too many good knives lost but it is always entertaining to see the look on TSA's face when I hand it to them instead of trying to sneak it past them. One time at a small airport, I was even able to get my airline's agent to hold it for me until I returned on my round trip travels. There are good people out there!)

[@KentuckyBallistics]

Nothing worse than losing a good pocket knife

[@TrumpisImmortal]

Wow. Old comment. 💪🏼🇺🇸

[@tuckerbarnes1864]

I have about 10 of those knives sitting on a shelf in the original package from the 90's, I got them from my grandfather who worked for SC Johnson. I can honestly say that they may not be the fanciest knife but they are durable and come with a good edge. I'm glad to know that someone shares the same interest.

[@Whoozerdaddy]

That Gerber is a sweet little blade. I have one I've carried, off and on, for probably 25 years or so. And very wise words about how to keep your knife. I've only lost one blade and that one fell through a hole in my pocket. I felt bad because it had been a graduation gift from my folks. The neat thing was, I found it, several weeks later, laying right on the ground out in the yard. I took it as a sign and have not carried it since, just kept it in my "collection." Keep up the great videos, Jerry.

[@andrewbarton7604]

This is the same knife I carried all through high school up until I joined the marines. It served me well for every day tasks from cutting athletic tape off of pole-vaulting poles, to cleaning mud out of my football cleats. I now need to do through some of my old things and see if this little guy is still floating around somewhere. Thanks for the share and for bringing back some good memories

[@daltonvickers7977]

I have always had a pocket knife since I was about 9 years old. My dad gave me a Case pocket knife. We even took our knives to school back then. If you did not have your knife with you, you felt naked. I won a very nice knife once. I gave it to the young man that has been learning to shoot and hunt with me. He now carries it with him everywhere. From teaching this one young man to hunt, fish and shoot, I now have 4 people in the last 6 months that have started shooting with us and have fallen in love with guns and shooting. They have all bought guns and plan on going hunting with us this year. Pass on your knowledge and shooting passion to others. Believe me, there are people out there just waiting to learn. They just need someone to take the time to teach them. This has been very rewarding to me and I have made some lasting friends and shooting partners. When I take them to the range, they are like kids in a candy store, they start talking to everyone about the guns they are shooting. They have been able to experience shooting many types of guns by just meeting and talking to fellow shooters at the range. I just sit back and watch them enjoy themselves. Thank you for your videos. I have told them about your shooting skills and shown them your videos and their jaws just hit the floor. They now have a new role model. Thank you so much for passing your knowledge and passion on to all of us.

[@GunNut-ik8ld]

It's a beautiful site when a knife has been with you so long that it gets turned into a straight edge.

[@eztrozo4507]

In the 90's I was issued a Gerber Gator and it survived heavy use, many relocation's and sharpening 'till it looked nothing like the original. Glad to see someone else getting that kind service out of their knife!

[@welderrik]

I just retired my first pocket knife. A Schrade Old Timer that was given to me by my Grandfather when I was 6 years old. I'm 40 now and just started carrying a Buck 4" stockman style and it's been reliable for me.

[@AnAZPatriot]

No truer words to live by, Jerry.

[@jeremywr1314]

I've carried the same Timberline for 12 years. Recently switched to Kershaw, I love it.

[@nrikaz11]

Spoken from true experience. Reliability and loyalty from your silent companion. Humorous as well as truthful well done Jerry.

[@sphotoburpee]

I like reviews like this. It's obvious that the knife is well used.

[@roberthorsley33]

Reminded me of what my grandfather told me about 30 years ago. Always keep a good sharp knife in your pocket. This was a great piece of advise and is still put to use even today

[@454pakr]

I'm glad you recovered from losing that knife. I hope someone found it and gave it a good home.

[@susceptor3574]

Love the knife had one, it was a gift and loved it. Unfortunately I lost it at the local pier at night doing some night fishing. The only knife I ever lost. Was truly upset for a week, it being a gift meant the world to me!! Thanks for the vid n a great memory of a great gift!

[@MikeyDonna]

Jerry, my first knife came at 5 years old. It was a "Lewis" cutlery product. My dad, Last name "Lewis", made it from an old hacksaw blade and the tongue out of his boot. It had a rounded point and dull on all edges with a handle made by stacking squares of leather cut from his boot then ground into a handle. I still have it and wouldn't trade it for the most expensive knife made. Like you I have had a knife in my pocket ever since.---- Like most boys my age I learned how to handle a knife by cutting myself several times, no emergency room visits and very little sympathy. Have we lost something along the way ?????

[@Liberty4Ever]

I carried a tiny Buck pocket knife in the same class as the Gerber LST. Very handy size. I once paid as much as the knife was worth to have the TSA goons mail my knife back to me when I forgot it was in my pocket, in much the same way that I forget my appendix is in the right side of my abdominal cavity. I finally got so sick of the TSA that I quit flying commercially. Until I can fly without be harassed, X-rayed and sexually assaulted, I'll either drive, or I'm not going. Great advice on how to keep a pocket knife. I had a lovely little Schrade that I took out to work on a lawn mower when I was a kid. On the next pass, Schrade bits went flying out the chute with the grass clippings. Oh, the humanity! I carry a SOG Aegis now. It gets hard use, regular quick & dirty sharpening, and it's large enough to be of practical defensive use if needed.

[@tkinate]

Great advice, I never leave home without my trusty knife. So many different situations it has come in handy.

[@TrumpisImmortal]

Just found this video. Was looking for videos about one of my favorite knives. Been collecting them for years 400 300 and the 200’s. Great USA made knives that are lightweight and three sizes for any situation.

[@JohnC-ur8uw]

Absolutely agree. Always have a knife in my pocket since I was a kid.

[@northernnorm65]

That is a great little knife I've had mine since 1985 had others through the years but that nice little LST always seems to find its way back into my pocket.

[@rangescrapper271]

I'll never forget my first knife cut myself so bad with it right after it came out of the box duct taped it together for weeks till it healed didn't want my parents find out and take it away Keep up the good work always looking forward to another video

[@kylefarris4686]

My Dad carried the same Gerber for years and years. He lost it somehow. I got him a new pocket-cliped, liner-locked, easy open Gerber as a replacement. Nope. Too big for him. He really liked that thin/light LST. Now that I think about it, he probably liked that knife more than his Loveless.

[@johndavis9626]

Love seeing a well used blade, no matter the knife.

[@JBMuffinman187]

A handy little guy there, I tend to carry my Benchmade 940-1 lately, but Gerber's were my first when I was younger and money was the deciding factor.

[@TheSuperstrato]

I'm from Portland nice to see good ol' local Gerber on your channel ha.

[@bendavidson757]

Something to be said about the simplest most elegant knife being the most reliable for decades

[@cg5111]

Like it that you are including knives in addition to guns . Most of us viewers have many hobbies.

[@Eke817]

I’ve been carrying my LST now for over a decade....great knife

[@j.lockwood1443]

Great knife. Great advice. Been carrying gerbers for a long time.

[@Treejumper-yn9vg]

YES the tradition of having a pocket knife. My dad got me one when I was 9

[@grumpy7037]

I carry that same knife. Have for 18 years. Man has good taste.

[@darrellmora1319]

Oh, man, you are SO right! I can't seem to keep a knife, with one exception. I have an old Winchester pocket knife that came in a combo pack from Wallly World years ago, and of all the knives I've had before or since, and that's been a LOT, that's the ONLY one that hasn't grown legs and run away!

[@glockerbob]

Good advice friend. My dad got me totin a pocket knife at an early age. around 6years old and he always said dont go anywhwere without it.. not even Sunday school.

[@BryGuy18]

I also like gerber. I use the paraframe. Seems to never go dull and super light!

[@jeremyb.8974]

Pocket Knife! Never leave home without it!

[@johngallagher2313]

Great little knives. I have been carrying the exact same knife for so long I cannot remember when I started. I am on my third one. Gave my first to my son when he got old enough. Thought I lost the second bought a third one then found the second. I still have #2 and #3.

[@MrSiestaFiesta]

I've ran Gerbers for years. My new go to is an assisted Kershaw. Both great group of knives.

[@Nico-rr5co]

I've carried a Japanese made Cold Steel Voyager clip point plain edge since 2004. Holds a wicked edge and is nearly indestructible.

[@robstegura3134]

I have one of those too had it about 15 20 years also. Too kool ty for sharing

[@dan813thm]

Nice knife. I just purchased a SOG trident and I am really impressed with the quality of it

[@ktc7265]

I've had one of these for years.... great handy little knife. Lost an Emerson custom knife once. Laid it down on the sink in a hotel in UT... still crying :(

[@pennywhitehair3220]

I carry a little Spiderco (12 years) that has been used and sharpened so many times that this past year I had to replace it do to it not covering the sharp tip anymore when it is closed. Never have I lost one.

[@Jonny15227]

I purchased my first knife in 1994 and it was this same model. Still have it to this day. It does not get carried as much as it once did but I think I am going to dust it off, clean up the edge and put it in the pocket for tomorrow.

[@hond4srule]

Nice little knife and I loved the story.

[@lightblader1]

Miculek the legend speaks again.

[@65flashlight]

Great first knife and/or box opener.

[@ErikNice]

A truer sentiment I have never heard - "keep it in your pocket and it will always be yours".

[@FPS-zy8mm]

I've always been a fan of Gerber

[@scififanman]

I love collecting well used knives. Something that's seen a lot of service and is still holding up well. Blade might be worn back, but you know 'this' knife is going to last for a very, very long time.

[@dldishner]

A nice little clean looking knife. I'll have to check it out.

[@MrTimantha]

Looks like a great tool. Tons of use and still going strong. I have been liking the cheapo wallmart shefield knifes lately. Bought 7 of them last Christmas for 5 bucks each. Wouldn't think of anything else. I have the else just can't seem to favor them over these little 5 dollar pieces of gold!

[@TripleAAA53]

Jerry your the BEST !!! Love the STORY !!

[@grumpystuff6569]

Always carry a knife. I got my first knife at age 8 too. I have always carried one since I got that first Case pocket knife from my grandpa.

[@azdr71]

Great little knife!

[@ruststar]

That is great advice right there, it goes for a lot of other things too. Cheers.

[@bryanwalker7031]

46 years ago while working at a gunshot, a city cop came into the store and wanted to buy a descent pocket knife. He'd attended a motor vehicle collision the day before, the seatbelt was jammed (yeah they had them in 1969) and didn't have anything to cut the belt. I bought my first folding knife then and have had several since. Thankfully, I never had to experience what the city cop did, though I spent over 30 years as a front line cop myself. You never know when you may need a good knife...

[@BlackSheepVM214]

As a Sparky I used a hawk bill knife I used all my life and I've had 3 total from braking the fist two. I would keep a cheep dull knife to loan out & never loaned my good one out. So when they used the dull cheep knife they never asked me again to use a knife.

[@alicehouser9474]

I have a lil Gerber too its one of my favorite knives.

[@kurupted2]

love these knife reviews

[@IMesco455]

i got one and i keep it on my key chain. always have it with me when out and about.

[@lwfeagan]

Benchmade 940 Osborne is my EDC. Slim, light, long, and axis lock (which is the one attribute I consider non-negotiable).

[@aznmarty256]

I really like these knife reviews by Jerry. You know, for when I don't feel like being intimidated by his sub-two second V-drills..

[@aznmarty256]

*sub-4 second V-drills. I was thinking of his VTAC 1-5 drill with the Barrett .50 when I said two.

[@donpepeho4534]

My son and I really dig your videos

[@TSGEnt]

Wise words! Thanks for sharing

[@Ae240sx]

Currently edc-ing a Kershaw Leek. I wish the pocket clip carried deeper when set up for tip up carry. Other than that, no complaints. I love it.

[@nicostunts8620]

Looks like a good little knife!

[@glockgaston2922]

Good video as always thanks Jerry

[@ericcortez3671]

Gerber and Kershaw good every day carry companies. Knife every day and a flash light. Currently for me a Benchmade Griptilian and a Nitecore MT1C. Light weight knife and small light the right pocket stuff.

[@Morkevious]

Great tips on keeping your knife.

[@TylerSnyder305]

Good choice, I just got the little ultralight L.S.T today. I like it better than my Buck 283 nano bantam and find it to look a bit better than my Buck 425 which has too much going on with all the holes in the handle and stuff. My current knife of the month is a BSA edition Case 6208 splitback half whittler in red jigged bone, I prefer carbon steel when I can get it but it's just such a slicer of a little knife that I love it regardless.

[@josanchez4698]

always gotta have a good pocket knife. i wear mine out pretty quick. i use em for about almost everything

[@halon_x2549]

I have been carrying the same buck knife in my pocket that my grandpa gave me on my 9th birthday , it has stayed in my pocket for the last 33 years.

[@PatrioticGunLover]

I actually have one if those I bought two a while back. I lost one of them while doing some work on a cattle corral. But I've been carrying the other one ever since.

[@beaver4st]

Great knife just picked one up for my son.

[@BigMeany]

I have that same knife and love it.

[@mikerobinson3672]

I agree with your advice totally sir. Especially the wife part.

[@davidkelley6534]

I have the same knife. It's simple and well constructed

[@fredstevens6628]

Looks like a handy knife. I like to carry a multitool as well.

[@ughmas]

Awesome, I think i'll pick this up, my current knife is way too big for EDC

[@tylerbrown1146]

Great vid, very informative.

[@skyschwartz8697]

Such a cool knife

[@inertia210]

Very true keep it in your pocket I've lost many knifes

[@MichaelLee-fp5lh]

I've had a few Gerbers because they're an OR company and they have their headquarters not far from where I am. They're usually giving knives and multitools to the OR National Guard. Pretty great company. Benchmade is a bit pricey for me.

[@adrianotero7963]

Wise words from a wise man.....

[@ANIZZY517]

Cool little knife 👍🏼

[@mcmugget]

great video. i love gerbers!

[@chrisbryant8043]

Words to live by.

[@tomzimmerman7172]

Nice looking blade!

[@Lance14352]

Currently using a Kershaw Funxion EMT as my EDC but a simple slim knife would be a nice change up... However i do use the bottle opener feature quite often so i need to find an alternative for that lol

[@revolverboy8942]

Great pocket knife.

[@D3F3R]

Awesome knife!

[@jamesclose5085]

True words of knife wisdom. I carry my wee Opinel.

[@KimNJake7]

Thanks for the good advice

[@morganjp94123456]

Jerry I love your videos!

[@Eric.schmidt]

Never leave home without one!
