Well, with respect to hairy-man paraphernalia, yes and no. Spyderco's Military knife is rather large but I have found it most excellent in the garden and I haven't skinned a single buck with it nor has it encountered any leeches. Now admittedly the SOG Pentagon isn't really for daily use but the SOG Twitch is a marvelous pocket knife. And then there are lovely little ones like Columbia River's PECK with a Rainbow Handle and Blade or their entertaining Van Hoy Snap Lock, a lovely mechanism. I'm still waiting to get that perfect blade made of Damascus steel which can be awe-inspiring but require a bit more pocket change than most. Oh, sorry, I cannot explain this strange affection for knives and I am a vegetarian, see, but . . . . and I shouldn't even start on boxing.

Yeah, New Balance probably aren't the best dancing shoes and Birkenstocks toe-grip can take a little getting used to, but I have. They're fine for me.
