In the here and now, the Farmer by a long shot.

In the post apocalyptic future  :think:  tougher choice :D
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

As much as I like the OHT (which is a lot!), I would have to pick the Farmer.  If I pulled the OHT out of my pocket at work, it would draw some sideways glances.  The Farmer looks like a piece of jewelry, with teeth  :D

Of the two I've gone for the Farmer, but I much prefer the Camper or perhaps the Hiker.

I will grant you, that in a zombie ridden post apocalyptic world, the OHT, with its plastic scales, would be handy for shorting across starters and whatnot when you need a getaway vehicle in a hurry. 

BTW, my daughter notes that a short sword or machete is preferable to a shotgun in close in zombie combat, because there is less risk of injuring one of your fellow survivors and machetes never jam or run out of ammo.

 :ahhh

Too much sword talk, not enough zombie talk for her. ;)

Her other point is, occasionally, you see a zombie get up after a pretty impressive shotgun blast, but they never come back from a good head chopping.

She'a my zombie expert now.  The student has become the teacher.  :D

I'd choose the OHT if I could have only one. 

It's pocketable, it has a real Phillips, a bigger (locking)blade, bigger saw, toothpick, tweezers etc..

The Farmer is a amazing knife and is more pocketable, but I think if space is not an issue, the OHT is better.

So after discounting all the people who are deemed not to be trusted with OHT by their own governemnt, OHT is clearly winning.  :D

I luv the Farmer, great tool, tough, perdy, functional but if I had to choose, it would be OHT.

The OHT has a bigger main-blade, bigger saw, locking, more tools, and when they come out with
111 stay-glows-more visible! :tu:
