Hi All

You know what it's like - you ask somebody what they want for Christmas and they ask for something so specific, it's like trying to find rocking-horse poo.
I have a relation in the Army Cadets who needs a decent folding or Swiss Army style knife, must be DPM not the standard red colour, according to the RSM.

All sane and clean suggestions appreciated, thanks in advance.

have a look on www.heinnie.com

Leatherman has just released a new range of knives, don't know if they're available in cammo though.

Cheers, folks

Surely having a DPM knife just means that you'll lose it as soon as you drop the thing in any sort of outdoors situation, black makes more sense.

That's what I thought, Jon. Red makes even more sense!
I'm not gonna argue, though - the intended recipient is a woman...

Most of the Victorinox range of knives is available in camo (not sure about the Wenger versions) so if you start a net search now you should be able to get one by Christmas. They are all good,but if you want a model thats a good compromise of features vs size, get the 'Huntsman'.

there you go...

gadgeteers.co.uk claim to have camo swiss army knives in stock (pop-up list gives colour options).

I'd have thought that if you're so concerned about colour that it has to be DPM, then you'd want one with phosphate-treated metalwork, so as not to reflect.

I think the RSM is taking the piss...

Swiss Ranger Camo Multi-Knife

Swiss Camper Camo Multi-Knife

German Issue Pocket Knife

Or just get a Swedish Army (Mora) knife instead. If the RSM complains, you know where to shove it... It doesn't come with tweezers, though...

Carbon Steel Mora

stainless Mora £7 from adventure1

OK sorted now. Got the camo huntsman £14.99 from www.outdoorgear4u.co.uk via eBay.
Many thanks to you all.

Does it bug anyone else that the Leatherman Micra comes with everything under the sun except a Tin Opener, yet comes with a bottle opener? And why do they always come with corkscrews and no tin opener grrrrrrr!!! Or is it just me? ( Yeh prob just me moaning again! )
