I need one for my True Love!!!! I hope I can fit a trip to Sears into my afternoon of errands. Thanks!

You might even want to get him two! ;-)

Those are tempting...

But I wanted to comment on the photo of Abbye that happened to appear alongside this for me just now. It's the one of her draped over the green pillow on the arm of the couch. Her body and head form the same angle the open knife does, and they're at the same height on the page.

Wierd.

Brian, you have no idea how long I worked to make that happen! ;-)

Actually, I just reloaded the page and that photo came up! You're right...what a strange coincidence. I'm not sure I would have noticed it though; you've got a good eye for detail.

I just wasted spent several minutes reloading the page looking for that picture of Abbye. What a wierd juxtaposition of...something. Anyway, like the new design! Good show!

And that sure is some utility knife! :)

It was all a plot to jack up the Gazette's hit count...and you fell for it! Bwah-ha-ha-haaaaa...

Wait a minute; what do you mean wasted?!

Not to rain on your parade, but those are ancient...saw them at the Depot many moons back. But they're still new to you, and they're still pretty nice, and that's what matters.

Scott, that's precisely the reason I was excited about this. I bought one at Home Depot for my brother last Christmas and vowed that I'd return to get one for myself. However, they've never reappeared. (Even then, the model HD was carrying was bulkier, due to the ability to store extra blades in the handle.)

We're just not on the cutting edge (heh) of inventory out here in the sticks, I guess.

Eric, nice redesign.

The box cutter is nice, and I've got some old ones in my tool box, but, for all 'round utility, I've got three words for you: Swiss Army Knife.

Looks like we might even begin to be able to carry things like a box cutter or SAK on planes again.

Jack, thanks for stopping by.

...carry things like a box cutter or SAK on planes again

But they're still keeping infants from boarding because their names match the DNF list. Crazy.

the cutting edge

[sigh]

You're just upset that you didn't find a way to work it in...

Giving credit where credit is due, Sears didn't invent the "pocket utility knife". That honor goes to the original Super Knife which comes in a variety of styles and colors.

No, I'm not getting a kick-back for plugging their gear, either. ;-) One reviewer isn't too favorably impressed with the "original" and suggests buying a Sheffield-made imitation.

It wouldn't surprise me to learn that SuperKnife is actually the provider of the Craftsman-branded tool. The design appears to be almost identical.
