I've been carrying my Case baby-butterbean here lately; but, I'm fatter than the combination of the three holiday turkeys and two hams that we ate over the last month and my pants are so tight you can not only tell how much change is in my pocket, but you can even tell if it's heads or tails..... I ride a desk chair these days and a fixed blade is way overkill for me as all I really need to cut is the plastic strap on the paper boxes that feed the network printer that is directly across from my cube -- worst location ever... I also use the scissors on a SAK original classic to trim my mustache when it gets a little unwieldy, but I keep that in the desk drawer and make the trip up to the second floor bathroom since the procedure often leaves a little historical residue.
Truth be told, other than the awesome RUNT pocket on the calf of my uniforms when I was in the Navy; I've only carried a Bark River Micro Canadian as a pocket fixed blade. My limit is about 3 inches and it has to be tight. Even the Runt (or at least the thick handled ones) are too thick for me. But again, on average, I dominate my cube for about 95.7% of the workday and spend the other 4.3% trimming my mustache.
However, I am quite looking forward to your "Altoids Tin" knife and hope it's like the "dip can special" which I was so looking forward to. BTW, what is the status of that little project?
i have one that has been heat treated and that is about as far as i got. With all the added responsibilities i have now as seen here.....
I'm asking Phillip to take on yet another task
i have a full plate while im at the shop, now here @ 10:40pm and i keep up with the sale thread on the weekends....long story short, i ready to go home when it is time and do not feel like working on "my own stuff"
