TeacherRO Carpal Tunnel Registered: 03/11/05 Posts: 2574	Been carrying the Bear Grylls compact scout for 2 months edc. Used strictly indoors, but its a nice size -- good for box and line cutting, with a nice first finger notch. Lacks a pocket-clip or fast opening device, otherwise just right for my needs. Runs $8-24

Denis Addict Registered: 01/09/09 Posts: 631 Loc: Calgary, AB	I recently got my son the larger Gerber BG Scout. It has a well functioning lock mechinism which locks the blade up nice & solid (no play) and the grip is very comfortable & secure. It hasn't gotten much use yet, but overall it seems like a nice knife. _________________________ Victory awaits him who has everything in order — luck, people call it. Defeat is certain for him who has neglected to take the necessary precautions in time; this is called bad luck. Roald Amundsen
