case of barc's and case of Dr. Pepper...

Like I said, we can work out a deal and I'll take a few cases... the only thing is shipping.

I'm a Supervisory Customs Inspector of a land border Port of Entry in Santa Teresa New Mexico. Due to the nature of my work I usually carry three to 4 <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>'s, my endura II or Bob Lum T. in my right pocket, Cricket on my ammo pouch (to cut dope for samples from big bundles, best knife ever made for that!) spyder wrench in pouch on duty belt and usually something in my boot just because.

I work as a grill cook in a cafe at a corperation while I'm going to collage. Just going to start school in January.

I carry a Lum Chinese most of the time, for work, and use a Santoku for food prep.

I don't like Pepsi Blue but love Vanilla Coke.

I install, configure, and support software. I also train users on its use and occassionally customize it. It's rare that I have to use a knife when I work, and then I only use my SS PE Dragonfly (sheeple friendly), to open hardware boxes and the like.

I have worked in environments where I opened boxes, tore them down, and cut up cloth. The SE rescue is the best knife for that kind of work. Particularly so because I had to open boxes of clothing without cutting the contents.

I carry knives because I never know when I might need one, and I'm always thankful when I have one around. I carry several because they each fill a niche (and for backup).

Being a parent of young children, the leatherman wave is probably the most useful tool to have at my side. All the toys are strapped tightly to their boxes (designed for display, not ease of opening), and everything that requires batteries now has to be unscrewed to replace the batteries. I still, however, prefer to use my spydies to open the boxes.

What's funny is that my eldest will tell me, "Dadda, cut it, knife." any time a gift arrives.

One other interesting thing, my wife's grandfather witnessed a person bleed to death in a car accident because the seatbelt was jammed and no one had a knife. This was several decades ago. From that point forward, he refused to wear a seatbelt and always carried a knife.

I wouldn't advocate driving w/o a seatbelt, but the story illustrates that you never know when a knife might be needed. And there really is no replacement for for a good knife.
