[at-l] Helping a newbie - Knifes

[chaynes@xxxxxxx (Clifford R. Haynes)]

Knifes can be an issue for lots of folks. For example folks new to backing
but that were scouts prior to political correctness will often opt. for a
sheath knife because they are the strongest, most reliable, and safest. Many
folks that have really spent a lot of time in the woods will also opt good
folding knife (LOL not a Swiss army) for every day and weekends but for the
sheath knife for the for extended outings.
Folks on hiking internet mail lists tend to look at things in terms of
weight, and often imply anyone that doesn't is suffering from Ramboism LOL.
Yup knives can be a touchy subject.
