When I was a younger skier, all the ski magazines were pushing Swedish barrel knives. They were pretty good for whacking up fruit, meat, and cheese. However, the slow deployment wouldn’t let you cut a scarf that was tangled in the lift. Also, it didn’t feel that good if you fell on one in your pocket.View attachment 1719853View attachment 1719856

Gorgeous! We hiked at Murren several summers ago. Always good to have a sturdy blade with you; you never know when you might have to cut/dig yourself out of a tricky situation.

They pop up on the bay, but they’re usually beat up and overpriced.

That is the Marbles Li'l Handy from about 1999. It was an AG Russell exclusive.
The dark lens Julbos are about 35 years old now, the yellow ones are new. The older ones are better.....

Kellam? Don't waste your money. Kellam sources its knives from outside. Many of the puukko types are made by Ahti and are cheaper if you buy them direct.
