I’d just been thinking it had been a while since I posted anything about either knives or lights when this showed up in the inbox.

That knife bears a striking resemblance to a Jeep knife I carried around for a while. Great knife, and the belt-cutting section was more than useful, but I had this gripe – the screw that acts as the blade’s hinge is not indented with any normal bits (philips/flat-head/hex/torx/etc.). Rather, it just has some indents in the circumference, and if you can wedge something in there and turn the bolt, you are good to go. Otherwise… it gets ugly loose after a while.
Good knife, but at that price, that is about what it is worth.

I carry a folding box cutter everywhere. $7 at Home Depot with 5 blades. Actually 10 since they’re double-sided.
Not so much for the stabby-stabby, but perfect for the slicey-slicey.
I usually have a Gerber multitool close at hand for anything that needs greater attention (in the glovebox say, or in a fagbag), but that’s so rare.
If I can’t solve my immediate problem by cutting it open, then it’s usually not a real problem.
