However, if you are on a ladder or up a tree or(as happened to me two years ago) laying on the ground with a fractued fibula on a trail in the forest, having the ability to pull out a blade, use it and put it away safely while never letting go of what you happen to have in your other hand may very well save your life.

Here is a website dedicated to knives of all sorts. Much like our wonderful SRP, these folks share a passion and a wealth of knowledge. Warning, this is another highly addictive community but it is a great place for learning about cutlery:
