    Pocket knife: Weird or normal?

    As a pilot, I use the tools on the Leatherman and the Swiss Army far more often than the knife portion, but the knife has many non-weapon uses such as opening mail, cutting tape for boxes, and more.

    Pocket knife: Weird or normal?

    I usually have a Swiss Army in the pocket AND a Leatherman Charge on the belt at a minimum, (often a folder, too) and frankly, couldn’t care less if anyone thinks it’s weird or not.

    Wheel falls off

    KRBD - Dallas Executive Airport thread... Started May 2024
