Spyderco and Victorinox are both good blades. Spyderco is on my wish list but do have my 57 year old Cub Scout pocket knife, have been carrying a Victorinox for 40+ years and treated myself to a sweet Buck hunting knife 15 years ago when grand dad’s old hunting knife bit the dust.

I thought my Victorinox was a goner 10 years ago when I forgot to toss it in my check in bag flying out of Portland, Maine. Got out of the security line and returned to the ticket counter. Asked the agent if I could mail it or if I was going to have to toss it. The agent surprised me by telling me to meet my bag at the luggage carousel in 5 minutes, toss the knife inside then to recheck the bag. Bet I wouldn’t have gotten that courtesy in New York.

Yeah, I wish I still had my old Cub Scout knife. I do have a nice Buck hunting knife that I think is in the top of the downstairs tool box. I don’t have much call for it, don’t hunt.
