ok, its basically the moment of truth here.
so i have made my decision
I will carry my Case Texas Jack for the next 5 months. While its may not be the ONLY knife i carry, it will be my GO TO knife. If i need to cut it, i wont be using the sak i will be using the TJ. I just cant give up the tools (even if i ditched the soldier, i would put a Multi-tool on the belt and lets face it, thats more weight than i want to carry lol).
Wish me luck folks and thanks for all your input and suggestions.
I think i am going to take Carls advice and box up and put the rest of the knives up and away for now. Out of sight out of mind. I think i'll get a chance to get a couple pics for a Day 1 of the experiment pic so we can compare at the end.
