Finally got one of these bad boys
What is it?
Mini Griptillion .
Infilled with Testors enamel. Think it turned out ok.
It turned out great! What was your method for removing excess paint after infilling?
I didnt let it spill! The logo was so shallow that the "overfill and remove excess" method just ruined the paint. Tried a couple times.
To finally get it to work I thinned the enamel with about ~15% thinner by volume and filled the logo with a syringe, guiding the paint to the corners with the needle.
Chris Reeve Small Sebenza Insingo similar to this. I am away from home so I don't have mine with me and it just doesn't feel right (flipping TSA)

I have a travel knife for checked luggage that isn’t one I am attached to, just for traveling. No loss if it gets lost. I too feel naked without a pocket knife.
I carry a Swiss Army Vitriolic knife and have for years. The one I just got you could shave with, but I like all the uses it has immediately like when I get in my truck and a trim screw is loose I just pull it out and re-tighten it . My current one has a phillips and a straight blade on it. Also useful camping for many things. Its no Leather-man but its much easier to pack around than one too and no belt case to get stuck in the seat belt either
I carry a pocket knife but lose them almost routinely. Had a Winchester that I really liked and lost it. ,y son gave me a Smith &Wesson Extreme Ops. knife which I loved but it too is lost.
I find limited success in ordering new ones from Amazon. 9/10 times they are way to big and heavy...boat anchors.
I carry this one now but if/when I lose it, I'm going with the Walmart Ozark Trail route suggested above.

I carry a Leatherman Juice CS4, frequently with an Opinel #7. The Juice gets used largely for the scissors and pliers and fits in the 5th pocket on jeans well. It's knife isn't bad, but the Opinel is better balanced cause it doesn't have everything else hanging off of it. I used to carry a Wenger Swiss Army with a locking blade, but I like having the pliers in the Leatherman. If I ever lose the CS4, I may well go back to the Wenger, as the CS4 isn't available anymore...

I've been carrying this since March. Ozark Trail $9.97 folder. Came across it on YouTube, it had the knife guys all wound up. D2 steel, slide lock, pivots on bearings. If it looks familiar it's a Bugout knockoff. Orange black or green scales. No play, the blade is centered and sharpens well on ceramic rods. I bought it as a joke but it's been fine. My good knives including Benchmade aren't happy with me.

Son gave me another S&W for Christmas after I lost the one he gave me the Christmas before.
Solid.

Another Boker Carbon Steel fan. I've carried one in my pocket since the '80s. The Treebrand Medium Stockman Jigged Brown Bone Handle.
Boker still makes it. I prefer the German made carbon steel rather than the made in other countries stainless blades.
