Anyone know where I can get a pocket knife like this one. I'm getting a bit sick of always hunting around for hoof pick, bale open/ scissors and pulling combs and would rather have them all in one thing I can put in a pocket.

I found this one on Kamer but you have to buy £35 worth of things to be able to order and this is all I need.

Thanks for any recomendations.

I have a victorinox equestrian one. The only thing lacking on your list is the thinning blade, however this is more than made up for by the corkscrew, tooth pick, bottle opener and tweezers.

I also have one of these....

Corkscrew and bottle opener are essential for an equestrian pocket knife.

Well exactly. I've also invested in some new saddlebags so I can pack the bottle too*.

Just check UK laws around blade length and locking, unless you live in the kind of rural area where no-one will ever notice these things.

*joke, just a joke...

They're manufactured in Pakistan, sold by numerous retailers under a variety of brands. I got one from a trader at Equirando in 2019 for (if I remember rightly) €12.

The Victorinox (ref n° 0.8583 has eleven "tools"), doesn't look much good, to me; it's basically an ordinary Swiss Army knife (a cut-down version of the WorkChamp model, ref n° 0.8564) with a very small hoof pick in place of one of the normal blades (probably a screwdriver blade). I usually carry a Leatherman Supertool 200 when I'm riding; I think this model has been discontinued and replaced by the 300.

One day I'll get around to either making a horseman's knife for myself, or to commissioning a professional to make one for me.

Far too dangerous to pack a glass bottle. Decant it into one of those squishy water bottles first.

You mean like with a sippy top? This started off as a joke but I don't think it is anymore. Can I put anything in my squashy, sippy top bottle? How about sherry? I think it would enormously enhance my ability to deal with obstacles out hacking.

I was thinking of this sort of thing:

Convenient carabiner for attaching to d-rings, too.

Of course, you could always go for the full Camelbak, with a backpack full of sherry and a straw.
