Another sign that 2016 has been the shittiest year ever . <| sep |> As someone who has drawn on sleeping friends ' faces , it ' s surprising how they will sleep through fairly forceful touches , but wake up or stir from a gentle tickle <| sep |> Intimidated ? Expensive knives are nice , but I would never carry one . Especially in this day when it might be taken from you by some authority . When my stepson went to the emergency room after being badly burned I had to give up my pocketknife . I did get it back . Or you ' ll just lose it or break it . Just remember it ' s a tool , I ' m not going to go around cutting plastic straps with a $ 300 blade when I might chip it . Don ' t ever be intimidated for not following the crowd . I have a Leek , I think they are wonderful but it doesn ' t fit my hand well . I prefer the CRKT M 16 , but since I work in a bank and have to keep low key , I usually carry a Case baby sodbuster or a SAK . For heavy work I use either a Mora or a Buck 110 or the Old Timer equivalent , or I walk out and get my hatchet .
