Maybe that light titanium spoon has a sharp edge on it...

I am still waiting for you to send me a sample to try out!!!

don't feel too bad for me....I do have the single blade leatherman complete with a bottle opener that I have had for the last 15+ years....... it has served me well but won't hold an edge to save it's life.....

but if you do want to send me one to try out I will be GLAD to let you know how much I am sure I like it!!!

Yeah... I hear Leathermans are really nice. Good luck with that.

I've actually done a week long hike and camp along the AT and only had a Swiss Army knife with me, but I was young and an even bigger dumbass than I am now.

laugh at it if you want, I bought it when I was 15 years old. still works and still with me every single day. it's also done the entire Ga section of both the AT and the BMT along with several other trails.

Let me know how that free sample thing works out, hell, Kelly even said she's post some BOTD pics for a free sample....

Oh, I wasn't laughing. A Leatherman Wave rides permanent duty alongside my main knife and I have a Swiss Army in every pack I have. I'd have to check but I think I have the little Leatherman Micro in every pack too.
