It was a splinter
Glad I had my knife.

Dale,
Ever had a dog that was butt ugly but so damn good that you loved it anyway ?
The Toad fixes that "mechanical" thing with me. It looks mechanical, and I cycle it open and closed hundreds of times a month.
Everything is where it naturally should be, and the "CLICK--CLAK" it makes is relaxing.
I usually have another knife with me anyway. Something like a Sebenza, Unfaam, Spyderco Standard or even a Calypso. I still find that little Toad in my hand when I need a fix.
Gofigure ?

The right tool for the job?
Leatherman super tool for heavy duties
Spyderco starmate for major cuts
A ladybug for the "I-need-a-small-blade-right-now-while-holding-my-keys-in-my-hand"
A tiny Victorinox for the tweezers and the tooth pick (this alone is worth it)
A micra for times when you need the best scissors in town
When out hiking - anything from a mad dog ATAK 2 to buck nighthawk
Did anyone say overkill?

You know Billy, we're still on the same wave length.
When I first saw the prototype Toads I immediately fell in love with them and had to have one. They are like bulldogs. They're so damn ugly they're "cute". Their small stature belies their strengths. I swear, smaller knives are the ones you'll "use".
Big knives have their place but you'll have the smaller ones with you when you need them. The Toad is a winner!

Hi Gene,
How's life on the mountain ?
I'm sending you an email with a picture of the lady I found about six months ago.
I'm leery of posting photos here, though
My Mini Police started rusting too.
I finally cleaned it up and hung it here by the computer.
I just never could learn to take it off before showering.
Also, I'm not at all suprised you like the Toad. It is, afterall, practical.
Take care.
Bill
