Lighter, Smoking, becoming an integral part of life. For whom is this Zippo, for whom it something else ... But apart from the lighter a person, not a smoker, there are other constant companions of life. Those items which has for many years followed by its owner. Or maybe not ... can you buy this thing recently, but has long felt the need for it ...

It would be interesting to hear what for you is such a feature of life =)

Personally, I have several of them. This knife Victorinox, which has about 4 years has served me faithfully. He is always with me, both at work and in the campaign. Very handy thing.

This wrist watch. Me 5 years, the battery changed only one time. Without them, just go home ... all the rest of them on the hand, and without them is like that and not comfortable.

For hiking and fishing, recently bought a Eton Scorpion. So far I love it.

Now pick up a knife, also for fish-hikes. With slightly longer, fixed blade.   Great choice - look at first. Maybe someone that you advise?

Well, lighters, different from the collection, usually a couple of "gas and gasoline."

Watch - I love their Sector 850. They changed a couple of years ago mechanical Orient, buyout I protaskal six years - and they are still alive and well.

Knife - always on now is Unayted Kattleri Reyedzher - massive folding knife, very sturdy and comfortable. It has long been with me. Before him was a Smith & Wesson, pritascheny of the United States - on the eve of the millennium. Also alive and well, resting.

Typically, where the thread has a gas cylinder - a habit, a good thing ... :)

About hikes - will not say anything. :) I have a bouncy koolektsiya every kind of loot from the U.S. Army - a shovel and a jar compass since Vietnam and bayonet from the M-16A1. I manage this and like that. :)

Like folding knives? I have a firm, folding structure, never was. But the people are of the opinion that it is much less reliable thing than with a fixed blade. I had the know-neym folding ... constantly chatter blade.

While on the other hand, in Viktorinoksa nothing came loose ... but there is a problem with the sudden folding. This should always remember that when you start to cut it. In large knives designed to solve this problem retainer, which incidentally also on cheap Chinese, often either broken or does not work properly.

Carry with them the city fixed-blade a la "Weird cavalryman without a horse?"

What are the options? Or hinged or ... nothing. For dragged through the city to hell with what is ka-baraobraznym my former colleagues do not understand, I'm afraid ...

What about reliability - all solved the old Jewish recipe for a delicious tea - "spare no welding." Nefig guano of roofing iron to buy - and obryaschite and will be happiness and goodwill toward men. In my most blade to break out, rather than fold it through the lock.

Neither benchmeyd or Microtec or CRKT - never saw that it could emerge in the process ...

The fact that there can be at hand - it's not a knife, a shovel to collect samples of fresh feces. Stale is impossible - not master.


Oh, and there's another good old multitul, Leatherman, produced in the shop on a military base - these are not doing, but - so far as new, not even sharpening, although I use. And as in any normal knife - blade all the tabs, and even saw files.

Well, I rather meant knife for hiking, not for urban wear.  

But I'm not sorry ... just one folding, I bought another very small, and then it seemed to me immensely cool =)   Then it turned out that the blade becomes loose, it may be that the complexity and the fact that the chip it is very nice for not too sharp edges of the handle.

But now I try to make an informed choice, so that would buy a reliable and practical thing.

Found here at his father's SOG Kilowatt, a pleasant thing, and catch like reliable. But with a sharp handle the same problem, but it is for electricians, and there seems to me it does not play a role.

I "officer" option Viktorinuksa ... I do not know why they did not put the lock. On the "soldiers" it is.

Hiking - http://www.knife.ru/index.php? ..... & P = 999 - thousands of them. The taste and color - pencils different. That's what glyaentsya - and then take.

To my mind this is: http://www.knife.ru/index.php? ..... =% C2% E5% F1

Or this: http://www.knife.ru/index.php? ..... =% C2% E5% F1

Or this: http://www.knife.ru/index.php? ..... =% C2% E5% F1

But it is to my taste, strongly non-standards. :) We all have ideas about how to and how. :)

Viktorinoks - it nozhch office warrior, pencil sharpening, waffle cake slice, cucumber, pivas open ... I have one where you hang out at home.

Yes, I have watched folders on this site.

Thanks for the links, good knives, I will choose.

In addition to those found still here such http://www.knife.ru/index.php? ..... = Benchmade

In my opinion, too, is not a bad option.

And about Viktorinoksa. This knife has helped me more than once, and for lack of a better he became a great option. But if the pro functional, then yes, I agree with you. Although I must say that the thing is reliable, nothing is falling apart and shattered + not bad holds an edge.

Solingen was 14 years old, alas - left in the car - was stolen.

And so - I buy blades for the construction 400r, just two short weeks of training each,

then break down. About five years ago, with a red pen - were stronger.


And on the topic - "companions of life" - as they brought 20 years ago monocular ZEISS, so almost always with me.

Already Scrape the lens housing Podran sleeves, drowning, freezing wet - heroic device.

The city wear instead of a mobile phone, go to bed - shove in sneakers, I do not know why. Ritual + type).

We etoge lineup pretty thin blade. Yes, bend elegantly holds, as well as sharpening.

But I have a half of training - direct blows to the posted logs. "Poke".

As shown, the flexible blade with a strong impact (precisely 90 degrees) tip -

tend to break in the most unexpected places. In this case, the hand of inertia

sits on the protruding sharp curve chip. I have a classmate's hand so ruined.

I suited, for example, the classic diamond-shaped in cross-section daggers. And many military knives.


The meaning of the cheap knives - thick uniform hardening steel. They even I did not break it.

Even and especially on the dispute +). Blunt - threw it away. Logs are more expensive to +)
