[Joe Wicked]

I too carried a buck lock blade in Jr. and High School. I grew up on a farm and a pocket knife was a way of life. Small rural town were everyone either works on a farm, farm support industry, or at least has a close relative that does (grocers, police, etc...). Still have a lock blade, but a cheap one. I don't remember what happened to the Gerber I used to have. Can't carry it in to work so it just sits on the shelf next to my keys most of the time. I am only 35 (36 in May).
