With all due respect gents

I have on my key chain a Leatherman Micra

It has a small sharp blade for cutting stuff

Better yet it has a small pair of extremely sharp scissors!

Better yet it has a small Phillips screwdriver bit that opens up a myriad of my kid's toys.

I like knives and swords

a lot

Those X Markers that have seen the adornments on my library walls know this.

However I will pit my Leatherman Micra against any sgian dubh for anything outside combat.

I like to wear the sgian dubh, but I am not bound to always wear it.

When it is right I will

When it is not right I won't

The claim that one has to carry one in all situations for want of a sharp edge isn't really that forceful an argument.

There are certainly options that might not upset other folks.

Cheers

Jamie
