*** Probably never make it into the lineup, but how about the pocket knife? Used to be a boy wasn't a boy without a pocket knife. ***

That's a fact. We had all these...

Boy Scout Knife

And we weren't even Boy Scouts.
We were too young, about Eight when we'd all get them.

(Been carrying a knife ever since.)

I received a pen knife as a reward for perfect attendance in Kindergarten ('73 from a private Christian school). I bet that don't happen any more.

Imagine my surprise, first couple of Cub Scout meetings, finding out that my pocket knife (carried since about 6 years old) was verboten until Weblos! That “Toten Chip” (knife and hatchet) was the FIRST priority!

Carried that scout knife for a bunch of years, then, mmmmmm lock-backs!

Would “almost” rather buy an nifty new blade than a firearm...almost.
