...so...ahem...how much did you spend on your Al Mar multi-tools?   :pok: :pok: :pok:


HEY!! Whoever said "turnabout is fair play" ought to get their butt kicked!   :D


Actually, I was fortunate to get mine some years ago, when they still cost less than a new Leatherman would run today. After seeing that auction price, I'm glad I did!

Checked mine when I got home.  It looks like J-Sews' 4x4--red chop on the blade and pins ground flush on the plier pivot.

The back of my main blade is marked "JAPAN" and my sheath is the black nylon one with the blue pull assist.  No logo on the sheath either.

Is everyone tired of reading about the variations on these Al Mar tools yet?   ;D

I think everyone else stopped clicking on this thread about two days ago!  :P

The main blade on your 4x4 doesn't say "SEKI JAPAN"?  I think this one is the fake we've been trying to find!!!   ;D

D'oh!  I kinda wondered that.  It's a pretty nicely made fake though.  I'll trade you for the $466 micra.   ;) ;D

Since it is more than one Link

Anyone notice that one of the 4x4's in the photos was used?  It's not too obvious in the photo, but the leather is a bit "worn in".  Also, I vaguely remember the guy comparing its use to that fancy new tool from Leatherman, the PST.  I thought these Al Mar multi-tools were all what J-sews calls "shelf queens".  Anyone else actually use their Al Mar multi-tools? 

I'll trade you for the $466 micra.   ;) ;D

I haven't used my 4x4 at all.  I've used most of my "non-collectible" multis, which is nearly all of them.  Although actually, my Sportratchet became somewhat collectible when I wasn't looking.

That's only because the SportRatchet is pretty useless!  :P

Hey now!  I used the ratcheting screwdriver once (OK, OK, I admit I had to go out of my way to do it) and also the slide out wrench thingy came in handy when I was moving offices.

If you used the tire tread depth gauge on the Wenger Porsche tool I will be impressed.

Then I guess ya gotta use the ruler on your trusty SAK to measure the thickness of your horse's shoe.

Actually, just googled that.  I'm not sure if you could afford horseshoes either.

Horseshoes are so plentiful here in Ohio that we even throw them at metal stakes anchored in to the ground.  IT is pretty catchy and make make for a cool backyard sport someday. :)

At least y'all don't have "cornhole" as the big lawn sport like we have down this way.
