Gadget Guy · **Reply #1 on:** June 27, 2009, 07:37:08 AM

The perfect pair??? I'm not sure about that.

cliosguy · **Reply #2 on:** June 27, 2009, 08:08:27 AM

Not a bad set up mate

I've a normal Huntsman and it's a really great Sak

Neil · **Reply #4 on:** June 27, 2009, 10:36:01 AM

The Mini is a great companion to most SAKs

I've fiddled with a Huntsman Lite and they're fine but they are quite a large SAK for EDC. That's just my opinion of course and if you're belt carrying a non-issue.

Benner · **Reply #5 on:** June 27, 2009, 11:44:12 AM

That can't be the perfect pair as I have already found it in a Knifeless Fuse and Safari Hunter combo.

Looks like a great pair that pal.

JohnD · **Reply #6 on:** June 27, 2009, 12:28:16 PM

LOL, My perfect pair i have found is the Farmer and a Classic or Minichamp.

My perfect Plier tool pair is the Wave and Micra. (I now seldom carry the Wave unless i'm at work though)

See, the Wave-Micra combo wouldn't work for me at all, why have 2 pairs of scissors and all the other tools? (That's questioning my logic not yours).

JohnD · **Reply #8 on:** June 27, 2009, 02:53:42 PM

Well,That's a good question. The micra's scissors are better and easier to get to. I seldom carry the bit-kit so i like having the smaller screwdrivers. The small knife is perfect for sheeple work and precision work. The tweezers are rarely used as i have some Sliver Grippers. However i'm still experimenting with this but so far it's working great.

As far as I'm concerned (remember this is my logic

) the tweezers are the only thing you are gaining and you have far FAR better one's with the sliver grippers. So for those reasons, I'd never carry those 2 together. Far more (for me) better options out there.

I must respectfully disagree with you, in regard to the item gained; in all truth, the Micra's nail cleaner/file is the best I have seen to date, whether it be on a Multitool or attached as a swiveling pivot on a nail clipper. Beyond that, however, I would, personally, pair a Wave with a Victorinox Rally, most likely, if only to add the excellent tiny Phillips screwdriver. I can replace hardware with the Rally/Rambler/Manager/Vagabond/Minichamp; I cannot, however, with the Micra's Phillips.

The tweezers on the Micra are rather disappointing, with that said; it would be more beneficial to have a Micra with the Squirt S4's removable tweezers in it's place. >.>

Benner · **Reply #13 on:** June 28, 2009, 01:27:22 AM

I'd be more than happy to just use the diamond file on the Wave for my nails, so that's why I'd see that as being no benefit.

Sazabi · **Reply #14 on:** June 28, 2009, 01:39:01 AM

Ah, that would be good use. o.o; And I suppose the minidriver could be used as the nail cleaner....

Hmm, quite good points.

gafftapegreenia · **Reply #15 on:** June 28, 2009, 03:39:27 AM

No the perfect pair is a Blast and an Electrician. Or is it a Core and an S4......oh no....

Leatherman123 · **Reply #16 on:** June 28, 2009, 03:54:25 AM

I have found the Charge ALX/XTi and a Explorer to be an excellent combo. Or, a Charge Ti and a Benchmade Rescue Hook.

That's true Ben and i agree with you there. I may try carrying the Kick/Micra combo for a while when not at work. When i am at work i'll probably just sling a 58mm on my keys.

Has anyone out there got any suggestions for what to pair with the Wave?

Gareth · **Reply #18 on:** June 28, 2009, 11:58:44 AM

Currently I'm either carrying a Huntsman and a PST, or a Camper and a Pulse.

The wave (I'm assuming it the newer wave model

) has a pretty comprehensive set of tools. You could go for a old-style soldier or farmer so you get the funky Awl as well as a smaller and more precise knife. Something with nice long drivers would compliment it well, the bit holder is versatile but a bit short sometimes - A cybertool (perhaps 29 or 34) would give you the long screwdriver as well as the small knife and an awl.

I carried my

today with a SAK actually and it makes a great pair as well

I have a new Explorer Plus, and frankly, I have no idea which plier-based multitool to pair it with. :/

Any ideas?

Leatherman123 · **Reply #22 on:** June 29, 2009, 04:21:37 AM

Any multi without scissors!

ducktapehero · **Reply #23 on:** June 29, 2009, 06:47:37 AM

My favorite MT pair is my Spirit S in my pocket with a Classic on my keyring.

Although Lucy Pinder's pair would be better if she would let me carry those.

How about a Juice of some kind? Or perhaps a Freestyle? Kick might work well too.

Yeah, I was thinking about pairing it with my KF4, although I'm really beginning to become a sucker for the Kick's pocket clip.

Just did a google image search on Lucy (never knew who she was) and all I can say is wow!!!!. Take the search filter off and WOW!!!!!

That SAK/MINI combo looks darn good. Not much lacking in that combo for sure. If I could get myself interested in the SAKs, I'd have a MINI or Juice to pair with it for sure. I just can't give up the pliers.

My Surge has been flying solo for the last while. I've got a bit card in the sheath and I can't think of anything to pair with it. It's got EVERYTHING.

I can't wait to get my hands on a Super Tool 300 to pair with a micra. Now that should be a combo. Throwing in a small fixed blade would make up for the loss of the outside blades. That's a set up, but then again, that's more than a pair.
