used to be the cool thing to spend extra money on was a pocket folder knife. lately at work I have been seeing more and more dudes with pocket folder utility knives.
if you think about it, carrying a folding utility knife everywhere else too makes more sense than a knife. 90% of the things you do with a knife, can be done with a utility knife, you aren't afraid to use it on anything, and when it gets dull swap the blade. it's always razor sharp. the only real down side is it doesn't carry spare blades. but neither does a knife.
I thought it would be a good idea to invest in a quality pocket folder. when I got to Auto Zone last night they had this on the shelf for 12$ and I couldn't pass it up.
I thought the handle was plastic, it's not. it's die cast metal. I don't like that because it will scratch, the paint will wear off eventually, and plastic would have given a better grip. but it's good enough. some other dudes had steel handles with wood grips, but those had some sort of rotating latch to remove the blade instead of a push button.
well! let's see your pocket folders... [8D]

And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Thinking mine might be a Lennox, but don't feel like looking in the truck to see.[;)]
