Leatherman Tools / Re: Sailing trip - help me choose.

« Last post by Crunchie64 on Today at 07:05:54 PM »

Well, I’m on my trip now. An afternoon going down a canal under diesel power before reaching the open sea tomorrow.

I’ve got a Skeletool in my pocket and a Spyderco Rescue and Free P4 close by in my bag.

I’m sure there will be pictures  of them later, but for now…

The Break Room / Re: Revived Sos Surprise Box GAW ( US edition ).

Did some research on what the black translucent SAK might be.  Found out it's a Voyager.  I ended up replacing the battery and it kept powering down.  Took the front scale off and adjusted the battery contacts and it works like a charm.  It has 3 functions, Clock, Alarm, and a Countdown.  Thanks to whoever donated it!

Carrying a Voyager I snagged out of the SOS GAW box.  Replaced the battery and it kept powering down.  Took the front scale off and adjusted the battery contacts and it works like a charm.  Thanks to whoever donated it!

Swiss Army Knights Forum / Re: Do you carry a supplemental Sak along with another knife?

Well, I’m not Alan but I do have one of those Myerchins, and the answer is yes, it can opened with one hand.

thanks Nate
 

Yes.  Nate is correct.  The shackle key cut out on the Myerchin blades is a good thumb hole once you get used to the shape.  Here's another shot of my second generation plain edge and my first gen partially serrated with a fixed blade version.  A word of caution, however, is if you're looking for a used Myerchin rigging knife they do not extend any warranty coverage if you're not the original owner.  So, if you buy it on E-Bay, and it breaks, you'll just have to buy another one.

thanks Alan for the heads up on getting one from eBay- that's exactly what I was doing but it seems that they go for about the same price as a new one so I'll probably just get a brand new shiny one!

I'm a big fan of titanium and that knife looks so sleek and useful. definitely was looking for something that is OHO for when I'm out on the boat and with the added marlinspike it really looks like a winner.
