I closed the interesting thread on boot knives. Some of the posts got "warm" and strayed from the site's focus. Communicating on the web is clumsy at best. I've learned that to my own chagrin enough to "type twice and post once" now. Personally, I keep a Hoener Harmonica in my boot.

HAHAHA, it is important to maintain a good sense of humour. I personally include the Hohner "Little Lady" harmonica in my kit......PHEW!!!! It is only about 1.5inches by 1/3 inch in size...it only has 4 holes but delivers a mean tune to keep the spirits up :-)

Obviously, the harmonica is useful in stopping those stampeding steer you may run into on the range. Talk about being prepared!

Talk about an "ultra concealed weapon"! If you're as bad as I am at playing the harmonica you're better off carrying the knife for protection from unforgiving fans. I'll stick with playing the mandolin. Now how to get it into my boot ....
