You guys talk about being spoiled by a boss that doesn't mind you carrying a Leatherman Wave, or other multi-tool. No friends, I am the spoiled one. I am in the Air Force. Right now I am in an offfice environment and have "only" 1 knife....er tool on me...a Benchmade Mini AFCK made about 8 or 9 years back with the ROUND "spyderco" type blade hole. It's for oranges, apples, big manila envelopes that need killing, and opening UPS boxes. Back a couple years back when I was a mechanic on the shop floor, I actually carried 3 knives or other tools on my belt DAILY. I usually included the standard Leatherman that they issue to us now and then, a Benchamde Osborne folder for the apples and oranges, and a BuckLite folder for cutting wires, boxes, and electrical tape. Life is good. I am likely about to deploy to Iraq this summer, and if I have to get involved in the convoy mess, I will be armed with an M-4 with Aimpoint sight, a Camillus CQB1 combat knife, and about any other choice of gear I think I can fit on my body armor and pockets! <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
