Nice to see another Western lock back being carried today, friend.
By coincidence I happened to pocket one myself today along with a Fight'n Rooster.

Carried (and used) my Klein electrician's knife in my pouch today, installing a standalone programmable light switch. (Cool little piece of tech made by Honeywell. It can calculate local sunup and sunset if you put in the latitude and longitude. And it can be programmed to turn on and off at the appropriate times. It's standalone and has no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection. I need a shirt that says "I hate Wi-Fi".)
Don't know who made the knife for Klein. Don't even know when it was new. When I hired up as an electrician's helper in ~77, my new boss dug it out of a tool bin and gave it to me, because I didn't have one. It wasn't new. Used the hawkbill blade today to slice the outside cover of a piece of Romex so I could pull the white wire out of it to use for a splice. I haven't done electrical work professionally for decades, but it still lives in my electrician's pouch. And it still gets used.

Hope it’s nothing major and the meds clear it up.That pic was taken by a doc at the animal hospital. When he sat and smiled at her, she had to take a photo.
We thought he'd benefitted from cross/species transfer of the norovirus we had on the last day of our trip ~ coming out of both ends...
But when I realized he was peeing blood, I skipped the regular vet and went straight to the serious facility. An xray showed an enlarged and/or mis-shapen prostate with what could be either an infection or something worse, like a tumor.
Got him on antibiotics and anti-inflammatory, but not going to rush into their instructions to have his balls cut off.
If follow ups with the regular vet show improvement with the antibiotics, I'll probably let him keep them. If it's cancer, I'll do what I have to.
Manny was born in November of 1016. My son brought him home at 5 weeks. It was his decision not to neuter, and after he died the next July, I honored his choice. Compared to my previous male dogs, two German Shepherd Dogs, two Brittany Spaniels, and a Boston Terrier, all cut, Manny shows no tendency to get lazy and fat, stays muscular, and has tons of energy. Hormones are for more than reproduction.
Since then, I have endured countless suggestions to have him cut.
Veterinary school obviously teaches an activist view toward intact dogs. But that's because there are a lot of irresponsible pet owners out there.
He is acting more like himself after starting the meds, so we'll see. Like I said, I'll do it if neccessary, but would rather not.
Nice pristine Bowie Stockman, Lance. I don't see the usual crack below the center pin!
The jigging on that Cosimo is phenomenal!

Locking Knife of the Week is a Victorinox folding paring knife with plain edge. It's big and has what I'd call a linerlock, even though the knife is essentially linerless.

I think these for me today, but that Klein has me thinking about my Colonial Mountain Guide.
