I've evaluated a small wire cutter, about the size of a min-maglite. It can cut barb wire, electrical, chain link fence, aircraft cable, etc. Its unique design gives it tremendous leverage in a tiny size. I'll throw in pictures of it, too.
It's not a combo tool, but it still keeps the weight and bulk down. This might also be a good place to talk about Israeli bandages, QuikClot, vacuum-packed survival gear, and safety carabiners.
Just whap me if the actual horse-talk gets drowned out.
Would it cut the clinches off horse shoe nails?
I'd like to see the wire cutters, that's something I would like to have the riders carry - lots of old barbed wire around here.
Well those sound like very very nice wire cutters:). If they were small enough for a pocket I guess it wouldn't matter if it was a combo with the knife or not.
I don't like saddle bags, they can make a horse sore in the loins if they aren't balanced properly or tied down securely enough. And I don't like horn bags, because they get in my way. So I land up carrying everything in my pockets or a small bag I can put around my waist.
