    Ha! Payback time for making me, making me I say, buy a surefire torch. And a cold steel folding knife. Check this sucker out: http://www.blackbearflashlights.com/

    You want one Beruit, you know you do.

    Anyone else got any good quality stuff men don't need, but that we REALLY want?

    Sweet, custom Mag-Lights. Very nice.

    But I still want a Surefire first. Did you really buy one? And which Cold Steel knife did you buy?

    Speaking of folding knives, I bought one of these for my the guy I work with.

    He was carying a made a Made in Nowhere El Cheapo knife and it drove me nuts, so I got him a good one. This is, without a doubt, the sharpest knife I have ever seen. Scary sharp. (And it was on sale.)

    Sweet knife Beirut. I just found what I wanted for Father's Day.
    My old Mag-light (4 D-Cell model) is 20 years old and still works like new. Came in real handy at work, especially the midnight shift. They are a worthy investment.

    The Ultimate Swiss Army Knife should come with a belt case and suspenders to hold your pants up.

    I always keep one of these handy. Leatherman

    It's very good knife. Lightweight, but well built and solid. My buddy uses his to cut oranges with more than anything else. (Our work truck smells like Florida.) It's excellent for cutting rope.

    I wanted a Leatherman but my woman bought me one of these our first Christmas together. I wear it every day. (No scissors. Bummer.)

    I've been pretty happy with the Buck X-Tract. I mainly just take it along on day hikes though, so I doubt it sees as heavy, day-to-day use of some of you fellas would put it through.

    Holy resurrection from the dead! Was looking through this and seeing the old names again.

    Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
    Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.
