Re , just maybe a #1 with a Micarta stripped handle like the one Gary Powers had when he was shot down. Then unless they come out with a frame lock pocket knife, I'm good.

He actually had a #8, not a #1. It's a bit easier to carry in close quarters yet versatile enough to handle a lot of life's "situations" [/quote]
It was 47 years ago & I only saw the photo in our local paper. I remember thinking at the time "Wow that's a cool knife". I don't know why but over the years, just assumed it was a #1. It was 1960 and he was flying higher then most men had dreamed of in U2 plane & wearing a custom Randall knife. Not only that he was spying on an unambiguous enemy, the evil empire. If there were a museum of cool, this episode of history would be in it.
