    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    Re: Your Kilted Grandfathers (or Other Grandfather Influences)

    My grandad on the right with Tam no doubt made by my nan (a dressmaker), and my dad as a wean in the middle, sometime I assume in the late 1950's, most likely at Hogmanay.

    Great, great great grandfather, Duncan (yes, I know about the kilt blemish, but what can you do on New Year's Eve?):

    Yep, Always. Currently it's just a little 3" liner lock Gerber. But that same Grandad gave me a 2 1/2" 2 blade folding toothpick that I still have and carry on the rare occasion I have to wear dress pants.

    I also have a 3 1/3" Gerber liner lock in my EDC bag, and one of those weird little Buck liner lock knife/bottle opener/key fob things on my keyring. Those 2 go with me every day to work.
