galyonj Posted April 12, 2021 Posted April 12, 2021 I carry a Kershaw Link every day. I don't carry expensive pocket knives apart from whatever the cost of the assisted-opening mechanism might be. They get too beat up with me. I keep a Leatherman Wave with my fishing gear. I just might dive after it if ever I have to. That multi-tool's been with me for a long time. Quote

Super User Way2slow Posted April 12, 2021 Super User Posted April 12, 2021 I've tried three times and haven't found a Leatherman Super tools that floated yet. All three that have gone over the side went to the bottom. As said before though, I still keep one in all my vehicles and boats. Handy tools to have around, just don't want one on my belt and too big for the pocket. 1 Quote
galyonj Posted April 12, 2021 Posted April 12, 2021 Yeah, them things don't float at all. This one stays in my backpack in the same pocket as my scale. Quote
Super User bulldog1935 Posted April 13, 2021 Super User Posted April 13, 2021 well this page is sorely needing a knife photo, so posting off topic, here's the neck knife I carry daily when fishing the salt. It's titanium, carbide edge, and nips braid like a champ. here's my neck knife nipper for freshwater 1 Quote
Super User Way2slow Posted April 13, 2021 Super User Posted April 13, 2021 I still have two new ones in reserve. When Leatherman first came out with the larger Super tool that was bigger than the standard Leatherman, back in the late 80's or so, I came across 12 of them for $150 and bought them. Didn't ask any questions about where they came from to be so cheap, just scooped em up and never looked back, and they were the real deal, not some cheap counterfeit. Quote

Serrated and plain blade, what ever the mood strikes me at the time. I also want to get a Link in the Dark Earth color from BladeHQ. they have been out of stock since December? 1 Quote
galyonj Posted April 20, 2021 Posted April 20, 2021 Nice. Mine desperately needs to have the mechanism cleaned and lubed. Quote
Super User NYWayfarer Posted April 20, 2021 Super User Posted April 20, 2021 Lately the only knife I carry everyday is my Kershaw Cinder attached to my keychain. Quote
ranger 361 Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 Gibbs, Rule # 9, ALWAYS carry a knife [I always do] Thanks GIBBS [ NCIS] Quote
Super User jbsoonerfan Posted April 22, 2021 Super User Posted April 22, 2021 Speaking of knives. My daughter brought a pack of taco shells to me last night and asked me to open them. I took out my knife and opened them. She said, why do you always have a knife. I told her, in case someone needs me to open taco shells for them, if you would start carrying a knife you wouldn't have needed my help. She just gave me a strange look. Hopefully she didn't get suspended from the 5th grade today for having a knife on her. LOL 3 Quote

It's no longer a suspension around here. Most schools have a zero tolerance policy, with expulsion as the consequence. I won't get too political, other than to say zero tolerance policies don't even begin to solve the problem they think they solving. I'll save my breath for packaging these days requires a you carry a blade, and a SHARP one at that. The packaging itself poses more harm than most weapons if you're not prepared to open one with the right tool. Thanks shoplifters for that. ? 2 Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted April 22, 2021 Global Moderator Posted April 22, 2021 There was a stabbing at a school in Nashville recently, maybe today packaging is ridiculous!!! Quote

I ran out of paper one day in class and the kids told me that they needed some. I went to the cabinet and got a couple packs, I pulled my knife out and opened them. One of the kids exclaimed, YOU CAN"T HAVE A KNIFE IN SCHOOL. I said, I can, but you can't 1 2 Quote
Super User Log Catcher Posted April 22, 2021 Super User Posted April 22, 2021 I retired from maintenance in the local school system. The law says you can't have deadly weapons on school property. I always carried a knife and so did most of the other maintenance guys. It was nothing more than a tool to help us do our job. If the kitchen staff didn't have knives they couldn't have gotten the meals ready. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted April 22, 2021 Super User Posted April 22, 2021 The clamshell that the baby proofing outlet covers I just opened came in is more deadly. 1 1 Quote
