I am heading for a beach vacation next week, too. For beach activities I am taking a small BO neckknife plus a modified black MP400. Sand should not be an issue since I can take the MP400 apart afterwarts and its plierhead is loose enough to shake out most of the sand. Should cover everything needed.
Did some fishing with my daughter. It was her first time and she reeled in a monster!(Image removed from quote.)

Lol that fish was barely big enough for a single fish stick.

Love the fishing pic I have a little girl as well and she is 9 It is so fun with them when they are smaller as they are experiencing everything for the first time and their reactions are so funny to different things Enjoy this time with her because they grow up way to fast

Well we are back home from a wonderful, albeit too short, vacation at North Carolina's Outer Banks. (Image removed from quote.)Just thought I'd wrap this up by saying of all the tools I brought, only two got used. The Ultratac K18 did a great job lighting up the beach at night while we looked for crabs running across the sand. The Cigar 79 did everything else. It cut cigars, limes, sandwiches, held cigars with the tweezers, opened beers and even helped me disassemble a bed rail for my daughter. It has earned the honor of being my go to SAK for vacation. Thanks to everyone for chiming in. Hopefully some more of you will share your carries if you get to spend some time near the sea/shore or any other vacation spot for that matter.(Image removed from quote.)

I've got 4 or 5 modern folders for specific uses but I agree the prices these days keep me focused on SAKs and MTs.
