Sharp blades are good to have, if Shire-folk go walking, east, south, far away into dark and danger.

I started off collecting pocket knives because they were practical to carry. First were traditional like Case, GEC and Boker, then larger moderns like CRKT and Kershaw, gradually expanding to pricier brands like ZT, Benchmade, Brous, Hogue, Protech, both flippers and assisted or autos, preferring a 3.5” to 4” blade. With the prices they ask these days (and since I have enough to carry a different one every day for a few months) I find swords a much better value for the buck…so much so I’ve been selling off my pocket knives to fund my sword collection.

Fixed: Randall¹, Parsons²

Fixed diving: Puma

Folding: Opinel

Folding multiblade: Victorinox

Footnotes:

1. Aircrew, for use with the SRU-21/P vest.

2. A "Holloway" pattern, which I carried for ground tactical stuff, and still carry for hunting. It amounts to a dirk or gladius, and you can't kill it. Parsons was a custom smith in the Ft. Worth, Texas area in the 1980's.

Darn, I trained for the Third World War, but what I got was War in the Third World.
"Specialization is for insects" -- Robert A. Heinlein
“Do not draw, do not force others to draw. Do not cut, do not force others to cut. Do not kill, do not be killed. Even if one encounters the greatest of sinners, one should kindly offer sermon and show them the path of good men. If the worst occurs and they do not conform, then without hesitation apply kesagiri and send them to Buddha.”

Ouroboros: Fascinating. Our weather in Ottawa is guided by the arctic jetstream. When it dips low under james bay. Ontario gets smoked with cold. The great lakes provide an incredible ammount of lake effect snow that usually buries anyone along the St Lawrence Mar 1, 2023 16:20:31 GMT *
