My grandad got me a mail order pocket knife an inch and a half thick <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />with all kinds of blades, knives, fork and spoon. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />The spoon worked <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> - the fork worked, <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> but you couldn't hold anything with the fork while you cut it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />The other boy scouts liked it, but I only carried a little while until I got an official boy scout folder. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

My mom got me a svea 123, some nice hiking boots, and a Lowe backpack. Bless her heart.
