I stopped carrying this knife. Had nothing to do with it's quality or effectiveness.
But I learned a thing or two about pocket knives after taking a week's worth of classes. I carry mine primarily for defensive puropses and I wanted the best I could afford. Turns out that is a CRKT Hissatsu Folder - Designed by James Williams. It has a blade designed for slashing and piercing. In fact, I can stick it clean through a 1/2" piece of plywood.
When I go to work I carry the CRKT Heiho. Same design but a bit smaller.
I carry an Ontario Knife Company M9 bayonet on my strong side. Best knife Ive ever owned. Skined and butchered many deer, hogs, whislepigs, squirrels, catfish, and gar with it. I got it bout 3yrs back. Paid $156 and change for it. She cost me a pretty penny but I havent looked back. Also I use it on my 870.
Leatherman MUT works well for most everything I need to do daily. I don't carry it in the little holster they send with it though, just keep it clipped to my belt for quick easy access.
Usually I carry in my pocket a case yellow Trapper.I like Chrome Vanadium and carbon knives for carry pocketknives.The Trapper will easily dress and skin a deer in a pinch.
Just wanted to post a picture, or two, of an old Parker I used to carry as a work knife. I've field dressed deer with it twice when I forgot my larger knife. It's retired now.
Years ago my Mac tool man sold Parker Knives.I bought a folding skinner,And a nice Texas Toothpick boot knife.Very good knives but they weren't in business long I don't think.I think Frost bought them out and I wouldn't buy a Frost personally.I like the knife you have.I don't recall ever seeing that knife on his truck.Did it come with a black sheath? And what is the handle made of? Joe
As far as I know they are Stainless Steel from Japan, but at one time Parker made really good knives. And you are right Frost Cutlery bought them out. No sheath, and I suppose the handles are made from stainless steel also. Takes a good sharp edge, and holds it well. Closed this knife is only 2 3/8", 4" open.
An old USA Cold steel. My older brother gave it to me many years ago, the day he went off to boot camp. Cant really say much more without getting all blubbered up.....It's always in my purse, goes wherever i go.
I have carried a Benchmade 710 for years, but I decided to try something new with the tax return. Now I'm sporting a new ZT 0560, a bit pricey but a beast of a knife!
I bought this knife for a customer, but when I saw it I just had to have it. Lucky for me, my customer decided on another knife!

I am a big fan of Bark River Knives, and the convex grind they use. The Mini Fox River is part of my EDC rotation as well. On page one is a pic with a few of my BR EDC knives.
I somehow lost the Rigid three bladed pocket knife that I carried since the mid 80's. I put an old Buck single bladed thing with plastic skeletonized grips in my pocket for every day carry now. I tried two other ones before I ended up with the Buck, but I just did not like them.
