THanks for clearing up the threader issue for me.

REI carries the mini fox 40 (there used to be one in Atlanta, I assume it's still there) but I've never seen the glow-in-the-dark variety there.

The paracord, about 10 feet of it, is in a coil knot, carried in my left front pocket with a Zippo and bandana.

For $75 there's any number of good folders you could get, and I wouldn't even venture into this discussion except that you mentioned SOG. I've had my SOG Autoclip (the 3.6 inch with black handle)for 5 or 6 years now and have always been happy with it. I especially like being able to practically lock it on to my pocket. Not as strong as some others, but for $40, I think it's a great blade.
