Read why you should have all this crap:

That is some messed up ****.... Could you please in the future choose better topics for the threads you start???

Or, perhaps you could start some of your very own.

Funny, while I spend most days working and playing in front of a computer, my "Kit" I carry around with me consists of the following:

• Keys
• Wallet
• Lighter
• Smokes
• Measuring Tape
• Magnifying Glass
• Keychain Flashlight
• Keychain USB Stick

And I used to have a utility knife, but left all my blades back in Canada until I figure out this Aussie Permit crap for knives.

The only techy thing in that list is a USB stick, which is used not very often.

Oh you have to tell me about that!!!

Well I had a little collection of knives over the years. An Indian khukuri, a Luftwaffe dagger, my grandfather's hunting knife, my father's combat knife, a knife my father got me while he was in Ecuador, a Highland Dirk and a few others I can't remember right now...... however in Australia, you need to have the proper papers & register any knives you own. I couldn't be bothered trying to deal with that stuff while moving from Canada and risk having to ask questions at the US border for why I have a bunch of knives in my suitcase, so I just left them back in Canada for now.

I'm still trying to understand why they have such a registry, as there's no issue with kitchen knives (which many of the ones I have in my home are larger than the ones I have back in Canada)

Nice collection.

Ya, the permit thing I wanted to hear more about.

Sounds funny.

Dundee would have a fit wih all those regulations......

Isn't utility knife another name for box cutter?? (as in terrorists)?

Doesn't anyone carry important things any more? Wind proof lighter, guitar pick, rolling papers, tinfoil, condoms?/

JESUS H CHRIST............register knives???

What bullshlt!!

In my backpack I would have at least a good jacknife.

Not a collector, but over the years, just by happenstance there is in me knife drawer:

.........a jackknife my uncle gave me when I was 12
........my first filleting knife
........two hunting knives in a leather sheath..........one big one small...........cheap
.......several Moro high carbon in sheaths
........one homemade from a file
..........several woodcarving knives
..........one Buck lite folding
.........several nondescript jackknives.

Yep, I'm dangerous.

In my workshop there are:

Several and many ultrasharp carving chisels, some small, some big, some huge.
One carving axe............shaving sharp
Hewing adze.............very very sharp
Hatchets and axes, fellers and trimmers.............sharp as hell

One man buck saw
Two man swede saw
Both very sharp

ETC................MANY MORE

All the above could be used as weapons..................or tools...........as they were meant to be used.

Pity the country which makes one register the tools which helped it come out of the stone age.....................Which could mean the stone age is in the minds of men, not in the tools they use.
