If there's one thing I keep my eye on in the news, it's new pocket knives. I get that's a weird thing to say, but when I was 16 years old, my trusty pocket knife I had used for fishing helped me escape a bad accident. Seat belt stuck, door caved in, the car starting to smoke, I cut my belt and crawled through the passenger side door.
From that moment, a knife has only left my side when I've had to fly. And sometimes, not even then, much to my bank account's sadness—damn things are expensive to replace after TSA confiscation.
But I'm always looking for a better mousetrap, as it were. Something that'd hold up in the woods, hold up to my abuse when it comes to trail-side repairs for my side-by-sides, motorcycles, ATVs, or snowmobiles, and hold up to my hunting excursions. A do-it-all blade that was sharp enough to skin a bull elk and be strong enough to pry some broken part loose if need be.
