How about this one?

It's at least 30 years old, has been used and abused in maybe 5 years and spent lots of time lying around in one drawer or another gathering dust...
An Aitor pocket knife (marked AITOR Inox Spain).
It's not too hard to see what kind of Swiss knife it was inspired by as it has a large blade, small blade, scissors, can opener and cap lifter (both with screwdrivers), awl and corkscrew.

AimlessWanderer · **Reply #249 on:** July 23, 2012, 11:18:03 PM

I don't have an Aitor knife yet, but I've been tempted a few times. What's your thoughts about it?

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #250 on:** July 23, 2012, 11:30:54 PM

Keep them coming folks. I'm out at work now but I do have an oddity in my pocket to open a bottle (root beer!) on my break this evening. If anyone can pick it off, here's your chance to beat me since I won't have the opportunity to run home and get another!

They were out of root beer so I got a Coke instead- I needed something with a cap!

Oh, and that's a CCM bike tool I'm using. Its one of those neat ones with Allen wrenches on one side and box wrenches on the other, and the two halves come apart so you can use the halves independently.

We're going a bit OT here, but...
When I was maybe 14 years old, I wanted a quality knife (preferrably Vic or Wenger) instead of the cheap pocketknives that kept falling apart on me.
To make a long story short: my dad sold Aitor, Herbertz and some other knives of reasonable quality in his store (sporting goods, tents etc.) and I got this one of him:

It got carried and used a lot for maybe six years before it was retired - it bears the marks to show it.
But the springs are still OK after all this time, it hasn't rusted badly and it's still easy enough to sharpen on my Spyderco Sharpmaker.
All in all, I think it was worth the price (about two-thirds of a comparable Vic at the time).
I can't comment on their current production knives, though...

Is a ripoff of this? Coast Micro Toolbox

AimlessWanderer · **Reply #255 on:** July 24, 2012, 03:58:45 PM

That's the one

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #256 on:** July 24, 2012, 04:28:25 PM

I have one very similar to that- Coast Fishing Buddy

Not a bad little tool. I like the compact form factor and I wish there were a few more variations like it. While Coast may not get a lot of credit for high quality or mainstream tools, this is one of those underrated ones that you hear about from time to time. And, they are usually available in the $10 or less range, so if you see one, snap it up- you'll be glad you did!

AimlessWanderer · **Reply #257 on:** July 24, 2012, 04:40:47 PM

The True Utility version isn't completely dreadful either

Aside from the utterly pointless saw, it is usable. That said, I think opening that beer was probably the first real task I've done with it, so I am going on impressions rather than extensive field tests

I have had good results with some of the other simple TU stuff though (twistick, slimclips, telepen)

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #258 on:** July 24, 2012, 04:50:31 PM

If you ever do decide to give it a more serious workout please let me know- I'd be interested to hear how it works out. We've had some dealings with True Utility in the past and while nothing has ever come of it (so far) I'd like very much to know a bit more about their products. So far they seem to me to be more or less a UK version of Swiss Tech- a bunch of China made models that are more gadget than tool.

Def

AimlessWanderer · **Reply #259 on:** July 24, 2012, 05:17:34 PM

Will do

The other three I mentioned are quite cool, and whilst gadgetty they do their intended job well enough. The telepen is a telescopic pen, which ... telescopicifies

and writes well enough. The slim clips will clip nails, and are slim, and the twistick has opened wine bottles. They're all to be considered keychain back ups and not primary "go to" items ... but they all do exactly what they were bought for

I'll see if I can put that ... whatever-it-is ... to a bit more use and do a mini review

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #260 on:** July 24, 2012, 05:37:31 PM

Telescoping pens are great when you want to write something very messy up to two and a half feet away...

Def

AimlessWanderer · **Reply #261 on:** July 24, 2012, 05:40:44 PM

Also remembered ... I have their eyeglass which is quite good too, did have a Scarab, which was atrocious, and Gareth has done a review of one of their tools in the reviews forum
