What if one of us bought it and shipped it to you?  I'd be down, as long as there's no customs problems?

I just shipped an item to Canada from Texas, just list on the customs form that it's a "tool".

That Chinese knife is probably not real High Quality. Or even decent quality. Buy a Gerber and be done with it! Ive sent a few multi tools back to gerber the last 15 years and they send me a new one within a week! Broken screw driver/awl are usually what I break. But they have some awesome knives and an excellent customer service!

i can't agree more!!  a nice knife is so worth the money, up to a certain limit.  unless it's a machete or some big ass hunting knife (my $9 aluminum handled Rambo knife from harbor freight is great!).  but i LOVE my gerber!!  it's old (5-6 years), but still sharpens up nicely.  it has the best "flicking" motion for opening i've ever had!  i can get it open and locked with a good flick of my thumb, it just feels great in my hand!

Way down the list of Murphy's Laws, is one that basically states that if I pay real money for a knife, it will be lost within 3 months.  But I lucked out on my last one.  $4.00, has "Sheffield Steel" stamped on it.  Now, you say that it can't be Sheffield Steel for 4 bucks, but I've had it for about 2 years and it just needs sharpening now.

mighty fine deal there!!  Murphy's law kicks in with expensive sunglasses!  i have a pair of "pugs" brand that i bought on a road trip at some gas station in Raton, NM.  that was 4-5 years ago!  they are the best glasses for putting in a full face helmet!!

I'd rather ride barefoot than leave the house without my Swiss Army Knife.
Every 2 years one of the blades clamps down on my finger, but I just don't like the locking blade sizes and options. 
I love my red Swiss Army Knife.

I always had that problem too, until a friend bought me a nice Kershaw. Nice pricey knife but since I didn't pay a penny for it Murphy's law didn't apply.

About 20 years ago, I got some Leatherman tools along with other "multi-tools".  One of them was the Micra.  It has to be my "most used" tool, as it's always with me in my pocket.  If I somehow lost it, I would immediately replace it.  I have bigger Leathermans, Swiss Army, and Gerber tools, stashed here and there.  But, the Micra is small enough to just carry with you in your pocket always, without any "bulk".  I've given some to friends, and they made similar comments about it.  Very practical and conveniently handy.

Hey TT, I'll be your friend, wanna buy me one??

Here's my new favorite knife, a Winchester. Can't exactly carry it in my pocket. Has nice Walnut handle. Perfect for self defense but not a gunfight!

I found one on the side of the road...one of my favorites, along with my old Case two blade. Had a really nice Gerber Hunter III, paid a lot for it back in '76, the snap on the case had a bad habit of popping open, one day I got back from a ride and all I had was an empty case......great knife, lousy case...

The Spyderco Byrd line is very affordable but well made. I usually carry 2, non serrated knives. Non-serrated is best for self defense.

[Uncle Ernie]

Why?

[Popwood]

Over the years I've carried a number of pocket knives. My current favorite belonged to my grandfather. It must be 50 years old and could be 75 or more. I never fail tothink it was his every morning when I put it in my pocket. It's a good knife but doesn't matter a bit who made it.

Why?

Here's a fairly rare one.  French Army;
