WTF Does Your Pocketknife Look Like RFN?

Elspode · 12-03-2008, 05:17 PM

I admit it freely...I am a sucker for the stupidest, most menial of details about the lives of my fellow Dwellars.

I love my knife. I literally cannot function without it. I use it daily. As my hands age and get more decrepit from tendonitis and arthritis, I find more and more use from it.

This is a Gerber Gatormate. Still American made, and only about $30.

I've shown you mine. Now, show me yours.

Don't have a camera available to take a pic, but this is the knife I carry with me pretty much everywhere.

Leatherman Charge XTi. Hoping to switch to the Skeletool (black one) this holiday.

I think I'll always want to have a simple pocketknife on me, but I am increasingly wanting a multitool as well. It needs to be good, small, functional and cheap.

I'm a Leatherman chick as well. I have used every single tool on it countless times... except the can opener. Never needed that one. But you never know!!

classicman · 12-03-2008, 06:35 PM

Leatherman - no question. I use it on the boat have a mall one in my pocket and the large one in my car. Invaluable, a must have. Once you have one you will never go without.

Elspode · 12-03-2008, 07:00 PM

In retrospect, I should have included some sort of scale, huh?

Can't tell what size Ali's knife is, but I'm thinking Crocodile Dundee in New York size.

Aliantha · 12-03-2008, 07:01 PM

Yes, it was a joke.

Nirvana · 12-03-2008, 07:07 PM

I must be really bored to photograph one of my pocket knives. This one is cheap, crappy, it was made in China, works on hay and straw bales as well as minor hoof work.

Aliantha: That is one gorgeous knife! Do tell me what brand that is.

Zippy: You can get by with your dragonfly, but I'm sure the cricket might get confiscated(knife on top). I used to carry the cricket, but now, I normally carry the...uh...Kershew leek? Forgot what it's called. :p

Btw, what does RFN stand for?

Aliantha · 12-04-2008, 12:58 AM

It's a bowie knife I found a picture of. I have no idea what brand it is. I was just trying to be funny.

As per usual it's not working out for anyone but me. lol

Tulip · 12-04-2008, 01:26 AM

I know you were joking, but the picture of that knife was simply gorgeous! This belong to my brother but I never returned it to him. :p I have it in my closet, hehe. Picture was poorly taken, which it do justice for the knife at all! It is a really pretty knife.

Stress Puppy · 12-04-2008, 06:13 AM

Tullip - RFN = Right Fucking Now (I think)

Elspode - "It needs to be good, small, functional and cheap" - This reminds me of something I read once, "When it comes to people on the internet, you get three options: Intelligent, attractive, sane. Pick two." Leatherman does sell the Juice in the $50 range, or the newest Skeletool (5 oz) for around $60-$80 depending on where you find it.

Clod - I have used all of the tools, including the can opener on a regular basis.

lumberjim · 12-04-2008, 10:14 AM

i always have:

a leatherman micra

or squirt.

have for the last 10 years or so anyway.....

It lives in my left front pocket. I use it for something every day.

they are only about 2" folded, and not heavy. the scissors are great for all kinds of things, and the little knife is sharp.

I prefer the squirt because folded, the knife, and the rest of the tools other than the scissors are available without having to unfold it.
