I always carried a leatherman. Most useful tool I had while I was an Infantryman.

It is psychologically damaging because of the fear it will bring to the mind of our adversaries, he said. It projects a manly looking, fear-invoking presence...

Will this be in our line with our putative CIC's more sensitive war on terror? /sarcasm

Good looking knife. I will admit that when I read "multipurpose" I thought it would be some sort of Leatherman. Will it be available at surplus stores?

BTW, when I lived in the UK, knives like this were illegal to own, let alone carry. Can't have "assault knives" out there attacking folks.
