Swiss Army Knights Forum / Re: Swiza, some quite unusual Swiss Army Knives ..

« Last post by BPRoberts on Today at 02:20:20 PM »

I have the "Tinker" equivalent (D04). It's a decent knife. With Vic slashing the 85mm line, it's probably your best bet if you want a locking SAK-style tool. Otherwise, I think I like the feel on the Vics a bit more. Maybe I'll carry it for a while and get a better feel for it.

Gadget Freak and EDC Forum / Re: Anyone still EDC flash drives?

I have a data traveller like Antti posted, but with Ventoy installed so I just dump the iso files of things I want to boot and select from a menu on boot.

https://www.ventoy.net/

Currently have win7, win10, Win11, some recovery utilities disks, Ubuntu all on the same stick.

In a pinch if I need to move files I use cloud or plug my phone in as storage.

I also have Ventoy installed. I have multiple distros and win 10 and win 11 on USB just if i need to install diffrent distro on my laptops.

does this arrow on the swisstool is for military issued equipement ?

Hi FrenchEOD, yes that’s right mate. It’s called the Broad Arrow and stamped on British and Australian defence force knives and other ordinance

The two in my pic were both Australian Defence Forces issued, I’ve some WW2 British knives with the stamp too

Wikipedia has some info if you’re interested

Finally scored a Voyageur. AND it's an early one with cap lifter and Elinox blade...   that's the good news.

Unfortunately it's probably worth every penny of the $20 I paid for it.

Gerber Tools / MP400 discontinued?

« Last post by BPRoberts on Today at 01:39:14 PM »

Was poking around on Gerber's website today, and I didn't see the MP400 anywhere. Anyone got the inside scoop? Might be making the MP challenge next month a retirement party...

General Tool Discussion / Re: Australian Knife Laws

« Last post by Vidar on Today at 01:27:16 PM »

To be fair that there are still schools and areas around where knives are just tools like any other - more so in rural areas though. There are still kindergardens around where the kids use knives as part of their outdoors activities from they are 4-5 years old or so.

More to the point. The law is the law here but how it is interpreted seems to vary wildly depending on region and situational setting. That might be more even in Australia? Having visited Australia a few times I reckon common sense might be more common than this thread give it credit for?
