Ok, you ladies out there, especially homesteaders. I have been carrying a pocket knife all the time, for several yrs. I use it every single day, multiple times a day, and i would feel lost without it. (The trick is to wear pants that have roomy pockets, which most womens pants lack). So i've gone through different knives, and this is what i use now, my favorite for ease of use. You can sharpen it alot, but when it gets really dull, you simply replace the blade. Blades are inexpensive on Amazon. Outdoor Edge 3.5" folder. The lettering on mine is worn out because i've used it so much. My husband got jealous and had me order one for him, so now we have matching knives. What knife do you homesteading ladies carry?
