Fine pairings for today's gentleman.  :hatsoff:

A nice flask or pair of small vintage binoculars might go well here.

Even if nothing. That down angle of the tip would look good for some precise work or even opening packages. I like it.  :salute:

Well indeed I'll mainly harvest Amazon packages :)

But at least the blade will actually be useful and that's why I chose this one over the Farmer. I simply never encounter flat head screws that can't be removed with the large flat head screw driver. Plus I never use the can opener since cans usually have an easily removable top. Worst case scenario I have this blade on my Spirit

Don't bother with the reasons.   ;)   Let's see some more pics of it.   :pok:   This is my hawkbill blade.   :tu:   :tu:

I like the gold. Wish I had mine in red though.

As for the blade, I call it "the claw-shape" blade :)

By the way I had a question to all Alox owners :

I can easily have moist hands, especially in summer time. Now holding a piece of metal with a sweaty hand can be very unpleasant and you get this sort of acid-like sensation on your fingers.
How do Alox react to moist in your experience ? I mean so far so good for me but i'm wondering on the long term if the alox stays neutral
