After spending some time in the security shops the last couple of days, I saw some things that I could really give a good home to.
With Fathers Day coming up, I thought I’d list a couple of “Must Have” gadgets for any Father, not just the Do-It-YourSelf type.

1. Opinel Folding Knife:
Opinel have a huge selection in their folding knife range, from stainless steel blades to carbon steel blades, all in oak, walnut or oak wood with varieties of rarewoods and even Blond Horn. Many people will choose a stainless steel blade, but you have to ask yourself, how many stainless steel samurai swords were made in the 1500′s ? The answer is none. The carbon steel blade will give you a sharper knife but will have a tendency to rust and discolor if used over a high heat source, in which case the Stainless Steel blade will be a better choice. This is really an inexpensive gift but the quality of knife it proves to be is outstanding.

2. Maglite Torch:

The Maglite has to be the torch of all torches. The build quality is outstanding and once you’ve handled one you will soon see why it is the chosen torch for many police men and woman as well as other security personal. There are 2 things that affect the price of your Maglite, the 1st obviously being what size you’re buying, the second being whether you’re getting the LED model or not. The LED model can turn out to be double the price of the regular one. I’d suggest getting the regular one which is still a fantastic torch and bank on getting the led upgrade later for a birthday or Christmas.
