Knife nicked

[Andy in Germany]

It looks like some light fingered larry nicked my knife last night: not a client here, because there were two on duty and I know they wouldn't steal anything, but some lad who appears to have wandered in while there was a performance at the theatre and had a poke around in my desk.

The knife was getting a bit old and wobbly, but it's still annoying.

On the other hand my toolkit includes my Grandfathers chisel in a hand made holster given to my by a previous boss. Fortunately he didn't nick that too -probably didn't know what it was.

Why'd you use a wobbly knife?

How did your previous boss have your grandfathers chisel?

 

[Drago]

Hopefully Johnny Scumbag will accidentally chop his kwn fingers off with it.

 

[Vapin' Joe]

Why'd you use a wobbly knife?

To cut a wobbly jelly, stupid

Time for a new knife then,

I've had one of these for years, the blades are a bit short (the 'long' one is about 2 1/2 inch) but pretty sharp but the grips are excellent and the screwdriver really useful.

I've never seen a Swiss Army mole grip before!

Was he the fastest chisel in the west?

Probably a sharpshooter.

If it had a bottle opener and corkscrew it would be perfect.

And a thingy for getting stones out of horses hoofs.

Thought you had to use a Boy Scout to get stones out of horses hoofs.

They're too blunt, surely? Maybe if one whittles their woggle first?

The thieving bastards at Canadian Air Transport Security Authority stole my $10 gas torch/cigar lighter from my checked-in bag five days ago. Quite how I was supposed to be a threat from a distance of several thousand miles still has me scratching my head.

Knife is one of those n+1 items. I carry my Swiss Army forester model (with saw) in the backpack and my Leatherman mini (with full sized pliers) in the bike bag. I have a bunch of single blade ones in regular use including an Opinel, a nice old bone handled Sheffield steel pruning knife (good for courgettes) a tough Buck Lite lockback for DIY and an original Leatherman for odd jobs around the house.
Treat yourself to a new or vintage knife.
