The SAK has more uses definitely. I think I've 'spun the dit' on here before but I was glad I'd lost my SAK and had a pussers dirk in my pocket the day I got my finger caught in the blades of a hedge cutter, I was able to force the blades off with the marlin spike. I might have struggled with a SAK although I've avoided the issue by not sticking my fingers in a hedge cutter.
Nasty!
In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on.

Thanks mate, no worries if you can't though.

Why does the stuff you own expand to exceed the space you have ? :oops:

Got a paid week off work that nobody thought I'd get. It was a summer job in the early 90's and the 'tradition' was if you were off you wouldn't get paid, I had bills so was keen to point out that I'd had zero training on the gear and was going to get all uppity. Apparently I nearly list the end of my finger so got signed off, it would have been 5mm max but I'm calling it life threatening. :lol:

Its my own fault, I've kind of expanded my stores and being a lazy git I've not kept on top of things. What was my 'fortress of solitude'/other spare bedroom has got a bit overrun since I've stopped watching football up there and the garage is equally daunting, it all needs sorting though. :(
