In case you haven’t bought it yet.
Here's the link to the Amazon page these reviews are on!
According to camelcamelcamel, it sells for between $853 and $1400: Link
The classic Companion is a sore dick deal - you just can't beat it!!
There is only one real review which says it's basically not even functional and was created only as a display item to demonstrate the various tools in their catalog.
Then returned with two hookers and a cooler full of beer.
But my personal favorite:
> Received this knife as a gift for my 18th birthday. Wish I'd have known what it was because as soon as I touched it, I grew a mustache and became a Navy Seal. Mom fainted and my dad laughed and handed me a beer. I was born a girl.
>Minus 2 stars because my breasts were really nice.
I used to carry a multi-tool in school and used it quite regularly. I pulled splinters, scraped dried glue and gum from desks, tightened eyeglass screws, pried open battery compartments, fixed wobbly tables, opened cartons of paper that were wrapped with heavy plastic strapping...
I use my Leatherman just about every day, and I go through a utility blade on my Gerber EAB every other week.
I don't think it's reasonable to prohibit students from carrying a tool with a nail file, tweezers, multiple screwdrivers, scissors, pliers, wire cutters, can opener or a saw, simply because that tool also has a piece of metal honed to a fine edge.
For anyone over the age of 8, knife bans are utterly ridiculous.
They sell a special pack to get the chair without the logo, and It's only 15$ extra.

Hey all, thought I'd share this impressive little item with you. I bought it on Amazon as a "fuck it why not" purchase, since it was $7 and I already own utility blades (they're like 50 for $8ish). I'm very impressed. This thing feels solid, and I love the idea of never having to sharpen it. It's also tiny and super easy to slip into a pocket. Check it out: https://www.amazon.com/Gerber-Lite-Pocket-Knife-31-000345/dp/B002RILCLY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1470515385&sr=8-1&keywords=gerber+utility+knife
Not sure if has a pitchfork, but you can probably build one.

The Customer Questions & Answers sections is equally entertaining:
> Question: Can it core a apple?
Answer: Of course it can, but the apple-corer blade is accessible only if you use it immediately after the bagpipe bladder stitch removal cumberbutton and before using the panda baby spoon.
> Question: can we see a photo of this knife in the closed position?
Answer: No. Unfortunately, closing the knife brings too much mass into one location causing the formation of a small black hole. This is not covered by the warranty.
> Question: Where is the Flugelhorn?
Answer: Right in between the warp drive and the creme brulee torch.
>a 3-inch blade is pretty small compared to other knives, except for the ones the children can use.
that's not really accurate. it's pretty much the most common size for a folding knife actually; in many states a folding knife with a blade over 3" can be considered a concealed weapon. plus, big knives are harder/heavier to carry and have no real use for the 'extra' length to justify the annoyance of carrying it. most adults who carry knives around with them (there are legit reasons) would have one of around this size.
the official BSA knife is 2.75". so is the one i have on my desk right now, which I'm sure many thousands of adults carry around.
To fix this spoon correctly, you will need a Wenger 16999 Swiss Army Knife Giant. Be sure to read the comments of this knife for directions on how to fix this spoon, save a baby whale, and to become a country/western singer.
UV flashlight to check bills. Every store should have one, but they're pretty cheap JiC yours doesn't. Like 10 bucks.
I used to carry my own box cutter since most of the time the store's cutter is duller than plastic knives on the condiment bar. Something like this is cheap, small, clips to your pocket.
I guess it depends on the store, but I always wore a watch, almost always a GSHOCK with multiple alarms (to keep track of breaks/tasks/shift changes/etc), stopwatch, and hourly chime. Barring wearing a watch, a small portable alarm clock with a clear, easy-to-read face.
A good baseline for survival knives is morakniv knives.
I bought a couple of these and keep them in my car/bug in bag. One of them I've taken on backpacking trips and it handles Batoning/ campsite activities pretty well.
Wie oben schon gesagt, besitzen darfst du es.
Du hast zwar Recht, Messer die eindeutig anderen Zwecken dienen als zum Angriffs- oder Verteidigungsmittel eingesetzt zu werden (Küchenmesser, Werkzeuge, medizinische Schneiden) fallen nicht unters Waffengesetz und es kommt nicht auf die entsprechenden Differenzierungen an. Allerdings nur weil da eine Boxcutterklinge eingesetzt wird, ist es nicht automatisch ein Werkzeug. Es ist sicher ein Grenzfall, aber der Einhandmechanismus wirkt schon sehr seltsam für ein Werkzeugmesser. Diese Mechanismen findet man eher kaum an Werkzeugen.
Falls es unbedingt was mit boxcutterklinge sein soll: Gerber verkauft das hier.. Das hab ich persönlich. Das ist rechtlich safe und ein gutes EDC Messer.
Try a mora for a couple of bucks more and a mini bic lighter.
Morakniv Companion Fixed Blade Outdoor Knife with Carbon Steel Blade, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004TNWD40/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_x_-VBXybPRQA022 via @amazon
Nope. Message "this item does not ship to [your destination]" is a standard part of their platform and they apply it strictly. Even for stupid stuff like Gerber EAB lite you just won't get it shipped from Amazon to a country that Gerber does not want to sell it in.
The amazon reviews for this product are great!
I bought a Morakniv Companion Fixed Blade Outdoor Knife with Carbon Steel Blade, Military Green, 4.1-Inch a few years ago. I use it for meal prep because it's fixed blade and about the size of a kitchen prep knife. The Amazon site shows its use for camping tasks, too.
EDIT - just saw this has been recommended a few times already. Must be good!
The Kershaw Leek is on sale for $30 from Amazon. It's made in the US out of higher-end steel than the options you mentioned and the other suggestions. This means it will stay sharp longer, though 14C28N is still very easy to sharpen.
Kershaw's warranty service is also excellent. It's a lifetime warranty and pretty much no-questions-asked. Small parts are available by mail free of charge. Even if you break a blade through abuse, they'll only charge $10 to replace it.
Fun fact, that specific knife is a collectors item and can be bought new on Amazon for $11,000. Downside is The Verge would still be unable to apply thermal paste properly.

step up to this model:
Ontario Knife Company 8848 Rat I Folding Knife - EDC Knife (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013ASG3E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_WPBXZHS3V3KVBSK0ZDJB
Or for about $40 you can get a D2 model which has a little better steel
If you dressed up a razor blade for the prom, you'd get this.
Which is highly recommended. It also takes Irwin X2 thickness blades.
Ah, I see. Kershaw's website has it listed at the full MSRP, but most other vendors sell it at MAP, which is closer to 50 for most versions. Amazon link for example: https://www.amazon.com/Kershaw-1660-Ken-Onion-Leek/dp/B0009VC9Y0
If you don't know how to sharpen a knife, try buying something that you can switch out the blade when it gets dull, like this.
Best bang for your buck I'd go with the OKC RAT II. This is the AUS-8 steel option. Easier to sharpen but doesn't hold an edge as long as D2 steel which takes more time to sharpen but holds its edge longer. If you plan on taking a sharpener go with AUS-8 otherwise D2. They're incredibly durable and just under 3 oz. I've carried the same one every day for 3.5 years and it's still going strong. It's my favorite knife by far and the scales and design give great grip and feel in hand.
I've had this box cutter/ knife for a few years and it has held up very well. Gerber has a lifetime warranty that I will probably never have to use. I've owned many pocket knives but this one is hard to beat for quality. Best part about it is that it's under $8 on Amazon with Free Prime shipping.

Amazing. I love the Internet community. If you liked this you'll definitely enjoy the Amazon reveiws for the Wenger 16999 Swiss Army Knife. Oh, and also this banana slicer. I have both pages bookmarked for rainy days - the reviews are that funny.
