Hi from Birmingham, AL
on: February 05, 2010, 04:17:05 PM
Hi all from another new member.  I've been lurking these boards for a few months now and decided it's time to jump in.

As a quick background on my multitools obsession, it started when I received an original leatherman as a highschool graduation present in 1987.  I can't tell you how many times I pinched my fingers with that thing.  I have been collecting knives and tools on and off since then.  My present obsessions are Atwoods and small custom EDC knives (less than 2" blades) fixed or folded, and other key chain one piece tools.  A list of a few things are below.
Take care.
David

List:  A number of case limited edition knives and CCC limited knives
        Atwoods - Slot Shot with trits, ti-Atwrench, Steel G3 and Satin Blue Ti Perfie
        Brad Southard - Rhinopry (added glow dots) and swiss cheese rhinopry
        Barry Wood - Original Mk1
        Gerber - clutch
        Letherman - squirt
        Victorinox - Swiss Army Sterling Silver Classic Pocket Knife
        Benchmade - mini barrage
        Michael Morris - 2 - two finger belt knives
        Raker - Damascus Ring Tool
        Urban Operators Match Lighter
        VersaTi Titanium Whistle
I am sure there are more, but that's all I can remeber off of the top of my head.

Gday Dave, welcome buddy :D :D

So with your preference for smaller knives/tools you would not been keen on a Leatherman Surge :think: :P :D :D

Thanks for the welcome.  The Surge is a definite possibility.  Unfortunately, my keys and pockets are full and I don't get a chance to really use them on a regular basis in my profession.  As far as pics, I haven't ever really taken any as my stuff is scattered.  I guess I can take a pic of what is in my desk drawer at work with my iphone.  The rest will have to come later.  iphone pic coming soon. :climber:

Okay.  How is this for a quick reply?  Please understand that what is attached is just the stuff that I pulled out of my desk drawer at work.  The other pic is of the two Morris knives that are in the mail.
