My brother-in-law has a TR-3 (he sometimes is even able to drive it) and I really need to share this with him.

Some things are just too true...

I can relate.

As for the original topic, it seems like as good an excuse as any to look for a new sgian dubh. ok, not a pocket knife strictly speaking, but hey...

That's a very interesting site, but the posters constantly use one term/acronym that I have not been able to decipher: "edc". Seems to mean something like "edge dat cuts." Translation please? Thank you

EDC = Every Day Carry
ie. what you'd normally have in your pocket

British Blades is a great bunch of folks. Of course I am biased, am a contributing member, and know several of them.

Shame on me for not knowing that; I've carried a pocketknife almost every day since about the 4th grade (a country kid in the proverbial, rare-even-then one room schoolhouse). Nobody cared back then--oh, sorry/reminiscence mode off/.

... The thought of using one for self defense has never really entered my mind as to me the knife is just a tool like a hammer or a wrench is a tool. ...

It's all in how you look at things. A hammer or wrench can also become a weapon in someone's hands.

Of course, with the wrench, you have to be in the library and your name must be Mustard.
