Some
of the airport knives we get are very "grizzly". They're scratched
up, and missing blades, and covered with duct tape and petroleum.
Those are the knives that people actually used-- whether
for scraping paint off a submarine, or trimming
rhinoceros toenails, or making emergency repairs
to a hang glider while 500 feet in the air. We
sell them pretty cheap in the B+, B and C+ grades.
Some models seem to have a much higher percentage of grizzly knives
than others. Here are those "most used" Swiss Army knives and
Leatherman tools:

things. 3" (78mm)
