I have one, it's lovely! Would like the bluntnose pliers in a bladeless variant, but I'll take what I can get...

I'm glad to see a new knifeless MT.  The only possible downside is that the RemGrit saw is a quasi knife, you know, and could conceivably be considered a "blade" by the uninformed.

Yeah, but you can take it out.
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

Got myself two of these and took one of them with me this week for the first time on a plane. I told the TSA agent that it was a blade less multi tool and they didn't have any issue with it (they did check that indeed it didn't have any blade). As a precaution, I did take the Remgrit out though.

It was very nice to have a full size MT with me during a business trip  :D

That's good to hear.  Oh, and welcome to the forum. :cheers:

Would it be cruel to post this picture?



One of the best things about the MP600 is that it's pretty easy to play Lego with and make your own version.  Of course all you need to do is buy a few versions to get all the components you want. ::)

Mine came in yesterday.

But I'm not convinced it's not a fake!!
It came without box and more worrying is that the Remgrit Blade doesn't actually say Remgrit!! It's just matt black both sides.

Last night I really scrutinised it against the Trailrider that came in last week. Obviously the plier head is different and the Gerber logo slightly different too. It is stamped USA and also has a serial number on the spine of the handles.

The seller claims he purchased 10 and asked for them to be removed from blister packs for easier shipping??? Also says the Remgrits are different as were issued to US army supplies.

I'm not convinced. Is anyone aware of fake bladeless mp600's
I don't claim to know it all, but what I do know is right.

I have not. It is common for US Forces to have everything blacked out. Or rather, no contrast. Like white against black. Anything that sticks out or is super shiny. Things like that catches the human eye easily.

Ok, but can I ask have you come across the blacked out Remgrit blade before?

Yes, only once. A friend of mine was in the Army and he had a BO MP 600. I seem to remember that the Remgrit saw was all black. I do not know for sure if it was replacement blade or the original blade. We might have to wait til one of the Hardcore Gerber fans shows up and can help better than I can.

I have a bladeless MP600 on order and expect it to arrive soon.

The medium Remgrit blade in the center was taken from a new Gerber MP600 blunt nose.  I bought the other two Remgrit blades (medium and coarse) earlier this week at an American Science & Surplus store.

My two bladeless (bought them from 2 different places: Amazon and WalMart) came both with an all black RemGrit blade.

My bladeless MP600 arrived today from Rocky National and has an all black, unmarked Remgrit blade like yours.
