Wellllll…misspent youth. The fishing dept manager at the sporting goods store I wrenched knew that the other wrench and I were longtime knife guys so he’d bring stuff in for us to ‘look at’. So have my share of pocket knives. Best were the cold steel kukris we carried for trail clearer
Benchmade released a mini-Osborne a couple/three years back and REI had a nice all black one with blue liners and spacers and bought it. Has pretty much cured me of my wandering eye. It’s small enough I can carry it to my desk job and doesn’t look out of place on the rare days I have to slacks and aloha shirt it. But works for boxes/envelopes/random office cutting very well. Super smooth and very comfortable on the hand.
The kids aren’t at all interested in my bikes so at least I can pass my cutlery collection to them.
