I'm lucky to live in a very nice place. Various opportunities for whatever outdoor rec you want and lots of cottage companies, too. Katabatic Gear used to be right down the road. Warbonnet is up the hill.

I grabbed a Spyderco about 25 years ago. I brought it home and demonstrated for my wife by cutting through a tough blister-pack ...and into the couch cushion between us. It was like the plastic wasn't even there. The look she gave me was almost as cutting as the knife.

I just go for Victorinox because I like the extra tools, including the toothpick and tweezers. But now that I've decided to do more cooking on-trail, you've got me reconsidering. Awhile ago, I saw how someone built a custom SAK with a Spyderco blade. Maybe I should check that out again...
