Ten thumbs up for this article and knife.

@MaxPoint: **WINNER** **WINNER** **WINNER**

@BrknPheonix: Any good photo backpack will absorb the impact on your gear and prevent you from crushing it as you yard sale impressively down the slopes.

@sammy baby: I went through the same thought process. Why would you need just one lens to be this reinforced.

@Mr Quacker: Yes! exactly.

@louis20833: I somehow doubt someone like James Nachtwey even uses his camera case regularly, let alone one of these.

@Slinkytech: That's actually not bad.

Dear LittleSnitch,

@FermentedDischarge: Promoted because it was entertaining.

I'll give a heart click to the first person who can offer a reasonable scenario that would warrant the use of one of these.

@minardi: Cool story bro.

@Death_By_SnuSnu: Actually I was thinking about it right after I hit share. Maybe it will appear in #thursdaytales...

The more I read io9, the more I wish I could be frozen and woken up at 100 year intervals. I would live out the rest of my life 1 year awake, 100 years asleep.

@ps61318: I dunno, I'm Canadian that's just how I say it?

@Xeraphim: I can't count how many times I narrowly escaped frostbite while wearing thinsulate. No thanks.

Congratulations, you've just given my eyes a boner.

@Y2KGTP: Those are all film Leicas. At that point in history the only thing Leica and Panasonic had in common was that maybe the CEO of Leica owned a Panasonic cordless phone, and the CEO of Panasonic probably owned a Leica M7.

z'at... wallet pizza?

@Stem_Sell: We should throw a party. I've got a nice 2005 Rubber Merlot.
