Gift from a older gentleman at work....

Made a little duct tape closed pocket, that fits in my wallet, which doesn't have a coin pocket. Put the p38, sears 4way, dmt cc sharpener, and the lee valley pocket screwdriver in there, (i know, the lee valley coin is overkill, but i couldn't help myself ), and stuck the pocket in my wallet.
My keys are a bit too much, with a fenix e01 flashlight, bottle opener wrapped on a key, trolley coin, small whistle, split pea lighter, spy capsule, and a classic...

(maybe this doesn't quite belong here, if so, i apologize, and I'll move it to another place)

When I discovered the P38 a couple years back I bought a bunch and gave 'em to my sons and all the senior Scouts in my Troop. I saw a couple in action over this weekend at our annual Spring Camporee :thumbup:

Now that we have a new bunch of boys crossing over to our Troop this year it's time to buy more!
