Irony
Went to Wal-Mart to get a pocket knife. I got one of these. It is a fine knife and at a great price (though if you get it at the store, it costs more). The knife is lightweight and sharp as a razor. And the assisted opening essentially makes it a switchblade. Good product and I highly recommend it. I also have a CRKT M16 on the way.
Any way, as I was opening the package that the knife came in, I cut the Hell out of my finger. Not on the knife (here’s the irony bit) but on the plastic packaging. Ain’t that something? I smell a lawsuit.

I gave myself the world’s biggest papercut the other day .. with cardboard. It hurt.
I just carry a regular ol’ cheap swiss army knife. Sometimes I think about upgrading..

I love that assisted opening thing; got it on my Kershaw Blackout. After a little practice you can flick it open lightning-fast.

I don’t know what the deal is with this hermetically sealed plastic lately. It seems like everything you open now-a-days requires clamping it into the vice and firing up the chainsaw.

Good choice Unc. And excellent deal – that’s even better than what I paid. In fact, I may have to pick up another one just because…
