Every man has one, I'm talking about your multifunction knife.
Gerber, Leatherman, Victorinox...

You can never go wrong giving a man a knife.

Problem is not many men left anymore. Now a tuff car is some 4cyl buzz box, pink is now a fashionable colour and their all whiny little fagxxxts who whinge cause they had to look in the owners manual to open the bonnet.

Landyacht and Mini Stig need to find this thread

All soon to be illegal as weapons control legislation ratchets upward.

Wrong thread Beaglebuddy, it was 'show us your knife', not 'show us your kid killing assault weapon'.

I bought a set of Tridents in from Germany to London, and then to Aus. Lesson learned: don't leave them in your carry-on luggage (even back in 2000)

I've got the German steel as well but I prefer the harder Jap steels......Mmmmm... yep.. still sounds just as wrong!

I've got the utility knives and the chef's knives and the tourist knives but this is my fav. It's my Great Uncles M3 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3_fighting_knife in a M6 scabbard. Probably hard to sea (pun fully intended) but carved on the front and back are the ports he visited in the Merchant Navy. The ports start at Australia and include the Pacific Ports, Aleutians, Alaska and ends in San Fran with all and sundry in between. It is still razor sharp after all these years and what's more surprising is that it was designed to reduce steel consumption. Goes to show those old steel's are sweet. The tile it is pictured on is a foot across from memory.

FWIW it has it's Parkerizing still in good knick bar the wear points. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkerized

My fishing knife is a yellow handled victorinox, with 6' of paracord between it and my fishing bucket so I dont lose it like the others
There is the remains (a couple were "borrowed" years ago) of a set of G96 hunting/ fishing/ skinning/ boning knives and scabbards are packed away in a bit of
the shed I cant reach......
And a bucketful of assorted swiss army types, locking blades, pocket knives and pen knives scattered all over the place.
