on: December 15, 2008, 06:57:22 PM
Hi all, I am Patrick from Texas.  In my normal life I am an IT manager.  I also serve in the Texas State Guard.  I enjoy all forms of gadgets but multitools, SAKs, pocket knives, and the like tend to take up a large portion of my time and money.  I also enjoy shooting and collecting firearms.

Ah, straight to the point huh?  If I had to choose I would say my SOG Powerlock.  That thing has never failed me.  On a day to day basis though I carry a Victorinox Farmer (red alox of course) and it does everything I ask of it.
