Nothing wrong with Swiss Army Knives

My Leatherman is the original that first came out. It is not bulky yet it is more than sturdy enough to be used on rigorous projects. My father used his to repair the locks on his hotel room door in Africa. I used mine last week to help change battery terminals in my car.

The Micra is a little too small for me. Scissors might be a handy addition I guess.

I don't recall exactly when I first started carrying mine but it has been well over 11 years.

But for manliness the two names don't even compare. In a battle of manly names Leatherman beats Victorinox hands down.

Nothing wrong with Swiss Army Knives

My Leatherman is the original that first came out. It is not bulky yet it is more than sturdy enough to be used on rigorous projects. My father used his to repair the locks on his hotel room door in Africa. I used mine last week to help change battery terminals in my car.

The Micra is a little too small for me. Scissors might be a handy addition I guess.

I don't recall exactly when I first started carrying mine but it has been well over 11 years.

But for manliness the two names don't even compare. In a battle of manly names Leatherman beats Victorinox hands down.

I thought the name was chosen for manly marketing but it turns out the founder of the company is actually named Timothy S. Leatherman.

And although some of the components of the Leatherman are made outside the U.S. the vast majority of the parts are made right here in the U.S.A.

I do love sharp knives though. Dull knives are the ones that cause you to get cut. This is a good clip. Before a Leatherman all the men in the family were carrying a pocketknife and there were many Christmas's when that was a cherished gift to both give and receive.

Prior to the Leatherman I carried an Uncle Henry Trapper Style with a beautiful staghorn handle. Trapper having only 2 blades on the same side, one the traditional blade and the other a skinner. They don't even make Uncle Henry's anymore so I guess it is a collectible. Most of my brothers and cousins carried a Stockman style which is like the Trapper but has a smaller blade that opens to the opposite side.

Yeah, you should carry a knife.

Nice clip Spiritual. Brings back good memories.
