MultiMat package came in today.

[Chako]

Well, I got a nice package from MultiMat, and I must say, he is generous. He included quite a few extras.

A group shot. I must say, opening this package was like Christmas. I was never sure what else I would find in there.




First up is a Spear & Jackson garden tool.



Overall it is well made. What I like most about this tool, the corkscrew. Guess it is for those drunk gardeners I hear about all the time. 



But that wasn’t it, he also generously included these goodies. At first I had assumed he packaged a shotgun shell. My first thought was that the sun got him finally, and that Canada customs are lax indeed if they let that through. But it wasn’t. Just an interestingly odd Italian knife. Likewise, I laughed at myself after figuring out that the square section is a file and not a magnet on the long Case knife. He even included a beautiful Leatherman pin that I did not have, along with a neat can opener/bottle opener.


Thank you MultiMat.

That can opener/spoon is a FRED.

[ryan1835]

so what did you actually buy from him?

[Chako]

Nothing. 

We had a gift exchange since I do not trade.

[ryan1835]

wow good on matt!

[specgrade]

 That is a hook sharpener on the scales on the Case fishing knife.

 That is really cool of Mat!!   

[Andreas]

I like that pin a lot. I'd have stuffed it onto a wooden knife handle

Are you trying to collect all multitools ever?

[Chako]

That would be a noble if impossible goal.

[ryan1835]

i think if you and bob combined your collections you would only be a couple of tools off

[MultiMat]

Gift Exchange  piffle too that I like to think of it as;

 THE FIRST & LAST CHAKO TRADE


Chako was exceptionally generous in his end of the trade/gift exchange 

I hope to get pics up of what Chako sent me tomorrow.

[Chako]

Dang...if it is a trade, guess I had better say something in the trading section.      

[J-sews]

A nice bunch of goodies there all right.

(that Fred is just begging to be modded into a SporkFred Spred!)

[Neil]

Never mind the other stuff, you've got a Fred, your collection is complete

[Paul]

Chako has enough to open his own 'Multi-Tool Museum'.......

[MultiMat]

[Chako]

On a weird side note, my cat has taken a fancy to the Leatherman pin. Not sure why, but I had a real fun time looking all over the place for it. I finally found it in his cat bed (The last place I would look of course). That will teach me for leaving it on a side table.

Looks at the cat with squinty eyes. You are supposed to be my guard cat...not a frolicking crow with a tail!

... can I replace your cat? I swear no pins will go missing.

[Chako]

I strongly suspect your upkeep would be higher.
