I went to the hockey arena in Dawson Creek for some deal, don't remember what it was, but had to return to my truck and leave my Leatherman there, because the bitch at the door said it was a weapon. There was a sign on the wall: NO WEAPONS

I once was going to walk into Parliament House for a meeting with the Police Minister, Police Commissioner and about forty others, and realised I'd left the small Wegener Swiss Army knife as my key ring and also fifty expired, used 9mm brass cases, in a pocket in my manbag ... Oops ... Not going to get through the Police metal detectors with those! A 700 metre fast march to the AU Regiment/Torrens Army Barracks Parade Ground car park and back again. Just made it in time! For one of several years of firearms legislation and regulations meetings.

I think I did take that pocket knife into the Vatican St Paul's Cathedral though. Bag searchs, no x-ray. It was under a flashlight. And no I didn't slash any priceless oil paintings like some nutter did some time before.

The little one here is my Landcruisers key "tag":


Removed from time to time. But it's a useful tool and handy to have. The tweezers have removed many a splinter or thorn. I need a new mini torch.

The other Swiss Army lock back has gutted and skinned deer at need. It needs a sharpen.

Have you ever had to walk back 5 KMs home or to the vehicle in the night through high grasees in summer with poisonous snakes to step on? I always have a decent torch nowadays on me, but lithium batteries just die ... A small spare can be very useful.
