These are my main 4.
I have several others that I use and several that I don't.

I know, 3 are fixed blade, so technically not "pocket" knives...

Left to right:
Smith and Wesson Special OPS... I have carried this one daily for 16 years
First "Damascus" blade that I made... Rosewood and Maple burl handle carried for about 8 years
Lonewolf cutlery "Damascus"... My Mom got me that one for Christmas
Made by a friend of mine, I have carried it on and off for about 4 years

There are some beautiful knives there, next time I go home to my 92 year old mum's house I'm gonna make a concerted effort to find my dad's "Nest" knife, that I think he inherited from his uncle who raised him, so it'd be over 100 years old. I've also gotta pick up some Fairbairn–Sykes fighting knives my cousin found in a private collection a few years ago. He bought them for me, I just haven't bothered to pick them up yet, but he's moving house, so when I go to collect some motorcycles and a pickup truck from him, I'll grab them as well. ;D   
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

 I went to the pocket and it ain't there. Dagnabbit. Edit it was under the car. I used it to cut the masking tape off the stainless steel exhaust I'm trying to build. 

 Funny knife story, I lost a Shrade old timer 3 blade knife. Ten or so years later I was at the drag strip and pitted where we used to pit when we had jr. dragsters. I looked down and there was the exact kind of knife I had lost laying in the sand. It was a bit rusty but I pried it open and it had the same odd shape where I broke the tip off of mine and re-sharpened it. It cleaned up well and was misplaced on a construction job and re-found again a year later. Currently I'm hoping it turns up one more time.

I love those sorts of stories Don, obviously it was meant to be! ;D
