SOG's AEGIS Multi-Tool
I recently bought a full sized SOG PowerLock Multitool & this little SOG Aegis MT.
Both have SOG's compound leverage technology which doubles the strength of the pliers, which is amazing!

Ram's Horn Damascus Folding Knife
This is a handmade folding knife from Pakistan.
The Carbon Steel Damascus Blade has a very attractive pattern, plus it can be made to be sharp as a razor!
This is definitely not a "pocket knife", and came with a high quality leather belt holster.

BeaverCraft "BHS2" Bushcraft Knife
I have owned and used a BPS Knives "HK-5" Hunting Knife which was made in the Ukraine for well over a year, and it is one of most impressive sub $50 knives that I have ever encountered...and within a year, I noticed another Ukrainian knifemaker was being reviewed by various outdoorsman themed YouTube channels, as well as having several models available on Amazon.ca, so I put this $50 four inch blade Bushcraft model in my cart and proceeded to check out when a little window popped into the screen asking me if I would like to buy this knife for $25!!! Obviously I clicked 'YES', and the next day I had my hands on the BeaverCraft BHS2 Bushcraft Knife, and began to compare it with my BPS Knives HK-5.

Sierra-Zulu Bighorn Tactical Cleaver
This is one of those cutlery designs that absolutely blew me away!
The "Cleaver" shape is ideal for chopping, cutting & slicing, it's an all round utilitarian blade shape...plus, there is no denying how Tacti-cool this Cleaver looks.
It is now on my shopping list, and hopefully it doesn't sell out, or mysteriously disappear before I can buy it!

US Army TL-29 Lineman's Tool
Millions of the TL-29 pattern Lineman's Tool were made, and in the US, it's very common to see several versions, made by several knife companies on tables at gun & knife shows for very low prices
The TL-29 that I came across was $15 and made in China for a US Tool company called "Gardner-Bender".
The blade steel used is tempered Carbon Steel. One blade is a drop point/spear point blade style and the other is designed with a wire stripper slot at the base of the blade, and a slotted screwdriver on the tip of the blade.
The screwdriver straight edge blade has a liner lock, and the rest of the liner is made of brass.
This inexpensive pocket knife is built like a tank, and quite a nice classic jack knife style folding pocket knife.
