For most of my life I've carried a Swiss Army pocket knife. A friend, Carmen (the guy Harry helped
buy the Ruger SR1911), introduced me to the CRKT knives. They open with a 'flipper' at the base of
the blade, and can be opened and closed with one hand. They are *not* a switchblade!

I thought I'd have a rough time not having Swiss Army knife with the screwdrivers, etc., but I've
found I don't miss the tools much at all. Here's the one I've got.

Love it.

I have been carrying a baby Buck and a P-38 on my keychain for 35
years. That seems to deal with my needs. When I was working I also had
these that dealt with my IBM needs.

My P-38 is the one I got from my first box of C's in that place Harry worked for an unknown unit
finding bodies.

My p-38 got lost years ago. Never got anymore. I see you can get cheap ones in eBay in a 6pack.

Nah...

Anyone who knew a GI in the 60s always had plenty. I still have some
50+ year old P-38s. My old roomie (marine) had accumulated a cigar box
full and he was handing them out all the time. It is still a handy
tool. I am not sure what grade of steel they are but I have never bent
one trying to get a screw out. I wish my screwdrivers were that tough.

Mine's only 49 years old. Just a baby.
