Watch it! / Re: New offering from Casio

« Last post by Farmer X on Today at 05:09:20 AM »

I like the look of the black one. So I looked it up on Casio's site. Being that it has Bluetooth, it's a hard pass from me. But I thank you for passing the information along!

I believe if y'awl haven't compiled an all-encompassing list of translucent scale colors, it's awfully close.

  Is the Opinel a No. 8? That seems a logical conclusion.

Gerber Tools / Re: What's your latest GERBER?

I had a couple of them over the years.  I always thought of them as a Gerber version of the PST II.  I loved the scissors!  I still can't get over them being discontinued.

General Tool Discussion / Re: Australian Knife Laws

You’re not going to have a problem carrying a larger knife or fixed blade if you’re out hunting or camping or similar, it’s in the city doing basic EDC that’s the issue.

I found this UK lawyer discussing a case of wearing multitool in public interesting:

Basically everyday carry in case some tool might be needed was not deemed by a court as good enough to reason to carry a multitool. Instead you should have a specific task in mind to justify carrying. (And presumably for the offending blade - not sure a task involving the file would justify wearing a multitool with knife).

He has some other relevant videos too. Although they are UK specific some of the legal logic behind might be similar elsewhere. In one he says police might try to ask leading questions as "You think this might be used as a weapon?" - a question one should sidestep.

Thank you so much! I had no idea about this thing. Does anyone know why some +B models have the stamp on the blade and why others don't?

Originally none of them had blade etching. At some point in time (2018-ish, maybe?) Victorinox began requiring all Alox special orders to have a blade etching or a logo on the back scale indicating the dealer.

Thanks Barry.  I like the MP400 size a lot! 
Totally bummed that they discontinued it.  I found this one at a best offer price of $32 & free shipping so I was happy.
I am currently using the MP400, then a Leatherman Leap every other day.
