I notice Smokey mentions carrying a knife. Much frowned on now of course, and for good reason in some cases, I know of nobody (boys anyway) in my youth (60's & 70's) who didn't have one. Amazingly we never stabbed each other!! Used for whittling wood, gutting a fish, carving your girls name in the bark of a tree and playing splits. I have carried a knife all my life now. Not for sinister reasons (apologies to all left-handers), but for practical purposes. Having a been a chef, a fireman and now a granddad, uses are too numerous to mention. I now have a multi-tool instead of the sheath knife of my youth and my penknife in later life. The now very old sheath knife is still in my toolbox in the garage. The sheath rotted years ago. The leather lasted, but the stitching went. I think it is sad that things change for the worse. Mind you, if I wanted to get my knife out to do some damage, I would have to ask the intended recipient to wait a couple of minutes, while I unfold all the items to find a knife!! Can opener, bottle opener, saw, file, screwdriver, blade, point.... Ah! Blade, that's what I want!!! See my point (hehehe) Ian - aka 'Razor' Huckin Researching eponimous name.
