Up until the pandemic, I was staffed and doing the weekly flights to and from the Boston area for several years. I learned that there, St. Patricks Day is not celebrated for a day, but for about 2 weeks!

Allen,

In your case I suspect the accurate verbiage might be ... how many weeks would it take to give your collection a look...

"Flickin while Clickin" :D :D I do sort of the same thing. Typically I have 1 - 3 from my collection on my desk at any time and rotate every few days or so.

The last time I was in Switzerland, a few years ago, it seemed that Swiss Army knives were for sale in every retail establishment of every kind.

I bought a Launch 8 a few years ago because I like the look. It is a nice, well made knife with cpm154 steel.
