I like them.Def
It seems to me that there are just as many lovers as haters of the humble bail, I know that they can get in the way and that you can even ding the blade on them. But I love them, I think they give a knife real character What about you guy's

Love bails and lanyard loops. Cant say how sad it is to watch your leatherman fall 60 feet to the ground.
No real big story. During the winter we do plant maintenance. Cant pour cement in freezing weather, so I was up on the catwalk fixing a rockcrusher and just dropped my wave. Good thing it just landed right, just some scratches and a ding in the handle that I had to pry at to get the main cutting blade to come out again, so lesson learned. I allways now carry 3 feet of para card in the pocket.
I don't have a bail on my SI so i can't comment but it would be nice to have (i think) Also what are people threading through the hollow rivet instead of the bail?

Which Bob did you have in mind? Bails have a certain old school appeal to me,but they sure can be aggravating little buggers at times.
