And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Been carrying these for several years. Owning the Puma Game Warden was cool, but not worth the price, Buck knives are great, but too thick and heavy. These have a lanyard hole, and if you take the time to hack the brass away so sitting doesn't crush the leather and cut it off, you will be happy. They are cheap, hold an edge, and with a bit of time shoving polish into the blade/spring area and smoothing the action a bit, they are a great EDC tool.
I carry a Swiss Army knife that has the basic 2 blade knife, bottle opener/Philips screwdriver, Flat screwdriver/can opener, cork screw, awl, toothpick. and tweezers.
Thus was my dad's carry knife. I have been carrying it since he passed in 2008.
I've come to strongly prefer pocketknives that I can open one-handed, because I often seem to be fishing it out of my pocket when I've got something in the other hand that needs attention. I prefer traditional-type pocket knives over the blockier tactical types, and I've been carrying a Case Russlock for over a year now. It's been a great choice, and the action has only improved with time.
Yes! One handed is imperative. Everything else is a toy. When you meet a male for the first time ask him if he has a knife on him. If he says No, kick him in the labia and leave and never associate with him again.
I've destroyed two Swiss Army by hard use in the field. A third is too worn to be trustworthy. Now I just carry from an assortment of single or double blade pocket knives. Many days I carry two, each for different jobs.
I learned the facts of knife life at about age 8. Swiss Army Knives just don't hold up and they look like cartoon knives. Serious people don't waste time with SAK's.
Here in the pussified UK carrying a knife is a one way ticket to the slammer. I always used to have a knife about me until one was confiscated at Luton airport. Waiter's bottle openers have a knife included, I have one of those in my shoulder bag along with torch etc.
Have carried pocket knife since a kid. Am 76 years old. Now carry Swiss Army Tinker. Has all I need. Have given same knife to son in laws, grandkids and numerous teen agers over the years. None have their knife when I ask, "Anyone have a knife on them?". Must be a generational thing. Also, finally learned to not carry my knife through TSA. Those dipshits. Oh! Oh! I going to start sounding like an old fart. I better sign off.
A clean griddle is just as essential...
ReplyDeleteI was just going to mention that. I've got a batch of cast iron in the electrolysis tank now.
DeleteThat one's cracked, which is why it's best use now is as an interesting backdrop for photography.

It amazes me the number of men (and women) who don't care a knife. Everyone should.
ReplyDeleteIt’s generational. I’m 78, and I’ve had a pocket in my possession since I was 8.
DeleteI prefer a Swiss Army knife with on large blade, an awl, a bottle opener, can opener, screw driver.
My wife carries a switch blade. It is legal in my state. I like the one in the middle

DeleteAll of my life I was amazed at how many guys do not carry a pocketknife and every time they want to borrow mine I tell them to go buy one.
