I've owned and carried a lot of knives in my life. None have ever been as useful or as durable as this LW I carry now. I use it for everything from hunting, fishing, IT work, to automotive and home repairs. I read one account where a Taliban met his 72 virgins at the point of one.
The Roach Belly, by Cold Steel, 4.5" blade is a lot of multipurpose knife for around $12-$15...
I'm looking hard as a future purchase from Windlass Steelcrafts...it makes me think of a modern scramaseax...the rubber grips gotta go tho...15.5" blade, about $50...
I have that same little tool. Mine doesn’t have a pen but it has a little light. The whole thing is the size of a credit card. It is a fun little thing.
If you go to Youtube and do a search on the knife model you are looking at then you can usually find videos showing how it operates.
Don’t blame you, those are nice knives and the price can’t be beat.
I gift myself with new knives all the time. Sometimes I even feel guilty but it doesn’t last long.
Not sure what makes a clam happy but I’m with you.

Thanks
Thanks! I had not thought of that!
I bought one of those Kershaw 1600s from a store that was going out of business a while back. I think I paid about 20 bucks for it. It was mine right up to the moment Mrs L saw it.
Now it livesin her purse. I should have bought two.
LOL
Amazing how that works.

She does let me use it once in a while.
Have been lost 'window' shopping on Amazon for a half hour .. lol
Like the looks & price & comments, esp. re opening speed, of the Kershaw Volt II.
At $24 it might be irresistible (til the next one comes along ;-) . . .
Hey. I have a bunch of those. Did I gone you one?
My New CRKT is even more awesome. It’s the Crawford Kasper. I have four or five. As soon as get a couple more you can have one. Love this thing and I used it to get a root out my backyard last month. Hit it with a hammer and chopped through 3”s!!!
I always carry, especially right now. I don’t have enough leverage with my left arm to open some the gs bare handed. Bottles, packages. slice and dice!!!

Yep. one of the best knives on the market and they do some slick vids.
(had to have something else to qualify for the free shipping ! lol)
I am sure you didn’t and a Swiss Army with scissors is always handy in a mom’s purse. Every mom should have one but to my thinking those are just handy things to have around. A good tool.
In addition to that handy little thing in my purse, I carry on my person either a Spyderco or a Kershaw. I also have a slick Smith & Wesson in my purse.
Just for grins and giggles, of course.

Luv it. I have three and I lost the teeny tiny little screwdriver in all of em.
