All knives are now banned in public because apparently we are toddlers. Or they think that terrorists won't find any way to hurt people now. Because surely legality is where any knife murderer draws the line... Edit : I think laguioles and swiss army knives are still ok since they have no blade lock.

Amazon has a lot of multitool options for far less. I have the one made by Wetools, which used to be about $20, which was a serious bargain, considering how well it was made. Now they are around $35, probably due to tariffs, but they are still a bargain. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] supernicepojo@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) I dont mind the expense on quality tools, well made, that last literally forever. Ive had ones that are about 20 years old now. Few things I learned from my father, never get cheap tools permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 1 point 1 year ago I get that, but Leatherman tools aren't expensive because of their quality, which is excellent, they are expensive because of their brand. There are plenty of equally high quality tools that aren't nearly as expensive. The Wetools knife that I have is a good example. Excellent design and high quality construction for a fraction of the cost. I appreciate high quality in all things, but I have also learned in life that quality and cost often have little or no correlation. With a little research, I can usually find a tool, or guitar, or audio gear, etc. that is just as good, or even better, than the well-known gourmet brands, at a far cheaper price. Multitools are an excellent example of that. permalink fedilink source parent [β] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 1 point 1 year ago My EDC is a Spyderco Para 3, but IMHO Kershaw is a great budget brand. I really like the Iridium, but the finish is a bit too delicate for my taste because I keep my knife in the same pocket with my keys. permalink fedilink source parent
