My first knife was one of those huge Victorinox Swiss Army knives. I got it for christmas and not even an hour after I opened it I had a deep cut in my thumb.

I was at the gun store last month to fetch another mag for the Beretta, and I stumbled upon two things. One was an old stock factory Browning magazine on the wall, which are hard to come by for a decent price, even online, and a crappy Taiwanese butterfly knife with a plastic hilt and some paint marks on it in the make an offer bin. I got the Beretta mag (factory Italian, blued, non LE marked) for 20, the Browning mag for 25, and the knife for a dollar! All have performed well but the knife has earned it's keep already. I've been flipping it around getting my skills back, and it's got a bottle opener on it too which I've used more than once. Real glad I picked it up.
