2016 TTi-Year of the Monkey Issue
on: December 24, 2015, 11:36:15 AM






 :drool:
Only 1200 of this kind have been manufactured. This one is no. 0972.
But it's worth 26,000.00 Phil. pesos or US 550.00!   :ahhh

That is nice...but I guess times have changed. I am thinking...that would be the same price as a nice 357 magnum revolver.  :facepalm:

That's an interesting Charge :tu:.  I wonder if it's only available in the Philippines?

Hi everyone. I just bought this as a gift for a friend of mine. He works as an electrician, is a knife lover, and also customises Opinel on his spare time. I hope he'll find it useful : I feel no Leatherman belongs in a display cabinet.

It's just laser etching on the titanium handles. $200 max in my book. Just a pretty dress, nothing really special.

Yeah I bought it more than half discounted.

Do you think one can dremel on the etching to give it a more custom look ? The pattern is tiny but if I take my time I should be able to follow it. My question is regarding the rendering – would a dremel bit cut deep enough to look ok ?

EDIT :
The more I think of it, the more I want to give this numbered item to my father-in-law. Two reasons push me towards this decision :
1) I want to buy my friend a regular TTi I'd etch as he'll better appreciate a true custom, be it imperfect ;
2) that'd get my wife's 'approval' for the extra expense I just made without her prior consent

Now to watch a griffcustommetal YouTube tutorial one time more to see what's required.

Or you can buy your friend a Cabela's camo Charge TTi. It is a thing of beauty  :tu:

It seems like Cabela is having a 10% off promo until 5/30. So, a Camo Charge TTi can be had for $162 + tax.  :tu: The Camo will wear better with use than the Monkey one IMO.
