Probably because you're not wrong *hides under a tarp*
I would have said again that an SAK would have been useful. Possibly a svord style too, Kris Jackson made a little corker recently that would have been fit for purpose, looked good and sturdy. But my grasshopper might be up in the gift thread soon put it that way

I've given over with EDC knives since I was arrested at the passport office in Liverpool. I tried to explain that it was blunt as a butter knife, that it was a work tool and that I had no intention of stabbing the people who would provide me with a passport, but they were having none of it.

Saying that, my work involves carrying knives, but one is a surgical blade and the other a utility knife... neither of which seem to be a problem.

Not had a decent SAK in years so can't comment on their usefulness... I have mates who swear by them though.

EDIT: Just been informed that as I carry the surgical and utility every day, they are EDCs :rolleyes:

I have to correct your spelling of last word... It should read if you have the Balls...
That may well be true!

I carry a cheap multitool everywhere, but that's more so I've got the pliers and little screwdrivers if I'm honest. A lass I work with carries a scalpel handle and a few no.10 Morton blades everywhere, she's not into this manner of things but uses them for all kinds. Shouldn't imagine they're strictly legal though

This is I preparing a camp fire breakfast just over a month ago.

There was much more to follow, but I do like my breakfasts.

I currently own a Mora companion, but there are 2 pieces of 01 steel on my desk that are begging to be turned into something... so Wilson may well have a friend by the time we get to exchange our meals :) As my other half says, there are always 2 chances.
