Then in 1991, I bought my own, bigger and better than his :D

Now it looks like there is a bigger and betterer one, may just have to speak to Santa.

I have a Victorinox climber which is just 3 sections wide and i find it to be about the optimum size. Most importantly i has good scissors (the best nail scissors i've ever had), a corkscrew, and a bottle opener :wink: . Its not very often i use the other tools on it.

Weird, I've gone loads of places where they don't let knives, including the septic consulate and the Eye. Never had a problem. They look after them until you come out and hand 'em right back.

Even the plod on the street, train stations, etc don't seem to bother. The tools (i don't like calling them simply "knives") are strapped to my belt and quite visible with the brand name showing. Still don't get any grief or "brazilian treatment"

Maybe you just look dodgy? :wink:
