251195 Gary Katsanis <gtgrouch@r...> 2014‑10‑18 Re: Pocket Knives - Derived from Honing Oil Thread
Oh, it's not that I don't -own- one, it's that I don't carry one!  I 
live in a fourteen room house and just took an informal census of two 
rooms. I found:

Scuba knife, two cold-war bayonets, a skinning knife with hook, a nice 
Gerber survival knife, four leatherman-type tools (one a SOG Paratool), 
a couple of cheap winchester folders, and last but far from least, a 
Sears 3-blade folder and a Case single-blade lock knife, both gifts from 
SWMBO.  (Uh, maybe Gary has a problem . . .)

I guess it's all too much to carry.  BTW, I've found that most old 
bayonets take a ridiculous beating and still come back for more. Talk 
about your informal froe!  I haven't used them for digging (much) and 
I've never mixed concrete with them, but beyond that, they've done 
everything I've asked with a smile.

But they're not in my pocket.  Almost never.
