[at-l] More stabbing?

[Kent Gardam]

Yup that's the wimpy boy knife I choose to carry too.  Doesn't look like much but is very handy.
 
Sure do miss the fork and spoon that were a part of that first multi-tool-knife I got back when I was a kid.  :)  I think it may have weighed four or five pounds.

My trail knife is the smallest Swiss Army Knife, with a tiny blade, useful scissors, a nail file, tweezers, and a toothpick. I think it weighs less than an ounce. It doesn't have a Flash Memory Drive or a built-in LED Light or anything else fancy.

Of course, it took many years to get down to such a small knife. I started out thinking that to be a real manly hiker I needed a real manly knife, so I dragged all sorts of combat knives and giant multitools on the trail for many (manly) years. I could defend against drunken bears and rabid rednecks and repair a downed airliner if called upon to do so. Now, when I am attacked by a bear, I can whip out my tiny Swiss Army Knife and give him a pedicure.
