I've carried this Proto screwdriver with me for 45 years.

My late sister gave both my brother and I one. It has saved my butt many many times.

I've carried this G.I. pocket knife since the early 1980s. It's cut a person out of a jammed seat belt after a crash, poked additional holes in belts, opened Heineken bottles and tin cans, unscrewed/screwed screws - you name it. Always ready when you just need - a tool.

P38?

Yes. Mine is stamped "US SHELBY O" made by Shelby Hardware in Shelby Ohio. (defunct 1973)

I still use it.

John....I brought one of those home from the Navy in 1969. I see that yours is the Navy model as well. We were told that the Navy model had "can opener" stamped on that part because sailors couldn't remember which tool was which without instructions. (Just kidding). One of my boys managed to lose mine on a camping trip back in the 1990s.

I’ve worn this lil crescent wrench on my belt for 30+ years. It’s gotten me out of quite a few jams. I used the wrench and my Buck knife to rewire the ignition on my shovelhead when it broke down in the middle of NOWHERE before cell phones were invented.
It was made by the Diamond Calk Horseshoe Co in Duluth, Minn.

I was hoping to pay some bills with it but changed my mind.

Wow - hold on a second-
Is that some of that D. B. Cooper Money?

I saw a rope with a heavy lead weight at the end, hanging from under a mansion in France that was built over a river. It turned out to be part of a mechanism that turned several spits in front of the kitchen hearth.

Tactical wallet, if you don't have one, you're missing the boat.

It reminds me of some sort of medieval torture device.

Wasn't one of the medival tortures roasting a person on a spit, or was that just jungle cannibals?
Maybe just cartoons?

Yes, it was. And that was just one of the many ingeniously cruel methods of torture in medieval times.

That's just teasing.

That's just teasing.

If you think that's teasing...wait until the Persimmon Bread comes out of the oven. I'll open the front door and let the aroma waft up to Ohio.

Another beautiful day has been bestowed upon us.

I'm head out on my maiden voyage today in my new to me camper.
I'm actually just going to work for a couple of days in Kanab and decided I'd rather try out my camper than stay in a motel.
