>>286467>I don't think you have. your entire argument seems to be based on the "local opinion" of a specific location. where are you talking about?Not a specific one, only those I've been to: Maghreb region, sub-Saharian Africa, New Caledonia, New Guinea, Indonesia, Iran, Nepal...
>most of the world has no use for an awl? that is the most retarded thing that I've ever read on this board.An awl that doesn't lock? People need knives and garden tools, not can openers, bottle openers, screwdrivers and corkscrews.
>ProTip:>don't buy those ones...I think you don't understand. This is what a Victorinox Camper can cost in some areas of the world.
>that's exactly what you said.That wasn't my post, I merely explained what the other anon meant. Outside of Europe and America, people hardly use SAKs. If you want to spot a tourist, that's how you do it.
>I really don't have the funds nor the inclination to dress myself in local attire AND change my race, every time I travel.Neither do I, but learning a couple words from the local language, learning about the culture, not dressing in brand new technicolor and not using all those things that makes you pass as a tourist are what I do. A SAK is a big no-no for me, while a Douk Douk is almost inconspicuous. Same applies to cameras and smartphones.
