Yes it's usually my climber, Spartan or mini champ depending on what I'm up to that day

Thank you, fellas

I would like to give credit to Mrs. Pittman, my first grade teacher, who introduced me to the alphabet and spelling. Without her influence, I would have never solved this Wordle in two tries

Yes, I am used to carry at least two knives, a modern one-hand-open folder and a SAK.
- The modern knife is usually a Spyderco or CRK with a 3-4 inch blade.
- The SAK is usually an alox Pioneer 9/10 times, but I also like the Spartan, Sportsman and Cadet.
- I have one of those bladeless SwissCards in my wallet for the small tools. A rambler in the coin pocket is a good alternative.

British Army "Clasp" knife by Joseph Rodgers & Sons. Two blade version (no great big spike on the back), late war style can opener with the added bottle opener tool. Just post-war production and everything is as it should be bar a little loss at the tip of the blade.

Here's my modest wee group. The pruner I've owned since I was an apprentice and I was given it by one of my supervisors as a lagging cutting knife.

Richards is a name you'll come across most often. Lets call them...made to a budget.

If you like one then absolutely buy it, but don't pay a lot.

Everything else I would look at on a case by case basis. Condition matters a lot. The finest Thomas Turner that is basically broken isn't worth much of anything, but if it's just a bit grubby or scuffed then it might be a hidden gem.
