New Addition to my Collection - PIC HEAVY
on: January 09, 2012, 07:24:55 PM
Thanks to badwolf, I had to snag this from ebay a while back, and it just came in.
























It is an Israeli Army Leatherman Blast, made for the Artillery I'm guessing based on the logo.

This is my first Blast, but I do know there are a few differences.

Aww hell yeah!!
I like that a lot :tu:
and I can understand what it says :D

It's from the Israeli armored corps.
It says "Reshef", which means flash, flare or spark. But it can also mean recoil.
It is the 71st battalion in the 188th "Barak" (=lightning) brigade.

That's a nice find.
And then it says "Proud to belong".

Thanks for the translation, I was wondering what it said. 
The logo and wording is screened on in high-quality black ink. 
The tool is mint, doesn't appear to have ever been used.

Very nice. After my second MT (ST300), the Blast will be my next before they're gone. Especially at under $35 at Amazon.
