I think I've been corupted.
After all these years of being a very traditional knife guy, I've tried a new kind of knife and I think I may like it. In early December I was giving a ride to a friend who is having some problems with cancer, doing the chauffer bit driving him to appointments, breakfast, and such. He gave me a knife for appreatiation even though I told him I did not want anything. It was a itty bitty little thing by Buck Knives, a tiny all metal sheath knife in a kydex upside down neck rig. A Hartsook, whatever or whom ever a Hartsook is.
I took the knife to humor him, and was careful to hang it on when we were about. At first I thought it was kind of a joke, way too small to be of any use compared to my sodbuster or other "real" knives. But it did hang from a button hole in my shirt un-noticed.
Over the past two months I have made a discovery. I was wrong.
Maybe an old white muzzle dog can learn a new trick, but I have found the tiny neck knife to be very usefull. It's the concept I guess, of having a small fixed blade knife instantly available to cut something. I used to think the small neck knife thing was soldier of fortune/mall ninja fantacy. Now I find myself looking for a more traditional very small sheath knife that can be used in this roll. The little Buck Hartsook has been like an unfolding pen knife. Its been very usefull comming back from trips to Sams Club, opening packages, breaking down boxes, opening my mail, a large bag of dog kibble. But the skeleton black constrution does'nt do anything for me.
Maybe a tiny puuko or something like that. Is there anything like a traditional tiny sheath knife small enough to fill this roll?
Weird, at my age to suddenly get an interest in another kind of knife.
