I have a CRKT Drifter in the bottom of my left hand pocket and a Leatherman Wind clipped on my left hand pocket. When not working, I am also carrying a Taurus Millenium Pro G2 in an owb on the right and a spare mag on my belt on the left. I say that if I add anything else, I have to get a bat belt. And I carry a cell phone. This is all covered with just a T-Shirt. <br /> When I first started carrying a gun, I was scared I would print with a heavy coat. Now, I have learned that nobody is looking and it is all about attitude. If you act like normal, people perceive you as normal. pigpen51https://www.blogger.com/profile/01036907880805485560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-41169212158970317592016-08-18T17:43:54.925-04:002016-08-18T17:43:54.925-04:00I've got a 1950 "Tremor" that is my ...I've got a 1950 "Tremor" that is my box opener etc. blade, I replaced the factory torx clip screws with allen head socket head cap screws and blue locktite after one of them broke on me. The steel is stronger than the factory stainless screws and they take a bigger and more common driver than the tiny t7(or so) that the original ones do.

So much so that I wait until I need two or three things, so they don't burn up twenty dollars in time and effort over a five-cent part. So far, I have never had to pay for a part, and they have sent two replacement springs and a couple of scale screws. Service like that, you don;t eat all at once.Roberta Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956807794520627885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-45580071441242501252016-08-18T09:37:23.720-04:002016-08-18T09:37:23.720-04:00I have a needs work that i never use due to blade ...I have a needs work that i never use due to blade design not really fitting what i do with knives .

I carry a lighter, though I do not smoke, for the same reason as waepnedmann.<br /><br /> My ST1820 "Needs Work" knives have a combination plain/serrated blade. Most of them seem to have had a plain blade. All the more reason to keep mine running. Tam gifted me the nice little Kershaw-specific "TX Tool" driver, which comes with every size Torx bit they use, plus straight and Philips bits, all of which store in the handle.

Yeah, so it isn't as if it's irreplaceable, but it's irritating, at the least, that I can't find it. And I don't have a cat either.<br /><br />At least the 1820 is available NIB still, and cheaper than Amazon.
