Just a few notes on what, IMHO, is one of the best buys in a knife. The V-nox Pocket Pal is a traditioal slip joint folder in the senator pattern. It consists of two blades, a 2 1/4" main blade and a 1 1/4" pen blade, both spear point.
The pen blade is extremely thin and takes a super fine edge. The knife can be held like a pencil and used like a scalpel or X-acto knife. It's great for fine detail cutting.
The main blade is great for lighter everyday cutting chores. Peeling apples, sharpening a pencil, opening mail, that sort of thing. It also makes a very good steak knife for when the restaraunts knives won't get the job done without scareing the bejeesus out of the other customers.
It is also an excellent whittler. I have been carrying one for over 12 years. It is one of the most useful kives I have ever owned. Best of all, they can be had for $10 or less.

lost it. Would buy another but stumbled upon a similar model from Case that I've been using from time to time (when I lose that one, then it's back to Victorinox). The Pocket Pal's a GREAT little knife for the money. If I pick up another, I'll probably get the Secretary instead, which seems to be the same knife but with silver alox handles instead of the red plastic. It's unbelievable how often you'll find yourself using a knife like this - and how much you can get done with it, without ever having to resort to the giant, serrated, tactical, one-hand opening, compression-torsion-liner-bells-AND-whistles locking single-bladed machete in your other pocket.
