Hank Reinhardt’s Book of Knives: A Practical and Illustrated Guide to Knife Fighting. JWR’s Proviso: Be forewarned that this book is not for the squeamish!
Movies & Television:
The Survivors (1983). “Robin Williams and Walter Matthau star as two unemployed men who find themselves the target of a hitman who’s out-of-work himself.” The survivalist parody is good for a few chuckles. Available on DVD, or for free streaming via Amazon Prime. Note: There should have been a special academy award for “Best Supporting Valmet”, for this film!

Gear (Versatile Tools):
Today, I’d like to mention some versatile tools, These are all “Made in USA” hand tools that I’ve found to be particularly versatile and practical:
Universal 60 Degree Thread File. This is an indispensable tool for repairing banged-up threads, and for finishing bolts and threaded stock that you’ve shortened. I eventually decided to buy a second one. (I also carry one of these in my vehicle tool kit.)
o o o
Case Chamfer Tool. Although these were designed for use by handloaders, I’ve found that they are quite handy for use in a variety of home and ranch mechanical projects.
o o o
Fence Pliers. If you only carry one tool in your saddlebag or ATV cargo bin, then this is it!
o o o
Leatherman – Wave Plus with Cap Crimper Multitool, Black. This tool is a must for everyday carry.
