Dang Paul you sound like me but I lost my first Schrade 340T
about 10 years ago and replaced it with another. I also
have an older Leatherman and a Leatherman Micra. I've
heard Schrade is out of business. I was in Family Dollar
the other day and they had a multi-tool knife for $2.00. I
told my wife what do I have to lose but a couple bucks. I
pleasantly surprised at the quality it even has a very
smooth set of spring-loaded mini needle nose pliers, made in
China of course. I still have very first pocket knife, a
Craftsman my sister and her SO gave it to me for Christmas when
I was 12. I've been carrying a pocket knife since I
was 12, never crossed my mind to use it as a weapon in
school. If I would have needed a weapon a chair would have
my nearest weapon of choice or maybe a pencil.
