You would be surprised at the sort of thing you can strap on you without nobody
being the wiser.
I got started with folders too, and I have a bunch of them. My issue is they
don't really make good ones that are affordable. That would be one-hand-openers
with a safe lock mechanism and good integrity, and no bullshit design.
If you have not noticed, fixed vs folder is a lot like vim vs emacs in the
knife world.
