I've been using a king chrome box cutter around the camp to open vacuum bags I put raw and sous vide food in.
So I thought I'd get a multitool or pocket knife to take camping.
Trouble was, I could not decide between a Leatherman Surge and Spyderco Chaparral FRN lighweght folding knife. The Leatherman has pretty good straight and serrated blades, and a range of other potentially useful tools and of course the nice pliers. On the other hand the Spyderco is a beautiful bit of gear, very light and thin with a very slicey blade of great quality steel.
So I did the sensible thing and bought them both.
I'm glad I did, the Leatherman has plenty of uses, and the little Spyderco is shaving sharp.
(forgot to extend the scissors for the pic)
