I really like the quality of the blade material used by Buck and Camillus. Sadly, Camillus went out of business in 2007. Among others, I have a Camillus knife that I inherited from my Dad. One bone sideplate was gone, so I carved one from an ash shovel handle to replace it. It looks odd but it's functional.

I've carried a Leatherman for several years and recall once using it to snip the eye off a fishhook that had lodged itself in the leg of a neighbor's son who had gone fishing with my son and me. The emergency room doctor was appreciative of that fact when he had to push the hook point first out of the boy's flesh (of course having numbed the spot first!). I loved the boy's response when I asked if he wanted to be taken home after the ordeal: "No way, man! Let's go back to fishing!" Dean Bob,

I love my pocket knives (well love probably is a little strong, but close!!) In fact, I carry a Leatherman every day (its my toolbox on the hip). By the way, the new Leatherman tools now have locking blades for safety, and my new one has scissors which my old one (of more than 15 years) did not. When scouting and outdoors, I also carry my Swiss Army Knife, which is my real favorite. I can't imagine being relieved of my knives. But alas, I know that when aboard our flying buses, they won't be allowed. I know what you mean when you say you feel half dressed. I love to teach young scouts the proper way to handle a pocket knife (BSA policy forbids the use of sheath knives, switchblades, etc). Its one of those connectors we have from the past to the future. Boys love to have pocket knives, and I love to show them how to be safe with them and how to care for them so they'll last a lifetime. Seems like yours have gone the distance too. For an outdoorsman a good sharp pocket knife is an essential. And the Victorinox Swiss Army knife varieties with all their many tools fill a lot of needs.
