Be The Jam

I got one of these as a gift from my parents and it is now with me almost constantly, only really leaving my pocket when going out clubbing or some other activity where carrying a knife is frowned upon. This knife is perfect for cooking and mainly gets used for preparing vegetables, slicing garlic, grating nutmeg (the serrated part of the blade is perfect for this).

Built into the handle is a whistle, useful for attracting attention.

The Fire Steel component creates a spark from which a fire can be lit and so makes this knife a doubly essential piece of equipment. I carry another fire steel and keep the one on the knife for emergency use only, just to be sure I keep a piece of tissue paper wrapped around the Fire Steel, this keeps perfectly dry and a surprising amount can be stored there. The real trick is to replace the tissues when it has been used. I'll just go and do that now.

I never go home without it
