Aitor multitool

[Frankctz]

Hi to all,

I am interesting to get a Aitor multitool Gran Police,
Do you know where I can get the "Aitor Gran Police" in US?

Thanks,

No, that model is the "Aitor Gran Capitan",

I am taking about "Aitor Gran Police"  -->

I believe I can buy in EU but looks like this knife is kind of expensive plus shipping charge will increase the total price, so that is why I am trying to find some place at US if possible.

Thanks

Looks ok but you could buy a swisschamp for similar money,

The tools looks disturbingly much like the ones on the Chinese "Army knives" mentioned in several threads..

Can't tell for sure, but I had the idea Aitor was made and designed originally in Spain. I know their models are issued to a number of armies, including the portuguese. Some of the lads use the (big) knife "Aitor Oso Negro" and I believe a few aitor multitools are issued as well.

I have the Aitor Escape model.  It looked similar to the retired 108mm German Army knife.  When I got it I realized it was much heavier and significantly overbuilt.  The blade is thicker than any of my Victorinox or Wenger models.

The multitool blade with the wrenc, saw, can and bottle openers is very unique.  The can opener works great.  I think leverage comes into play.  The saw is good for making notches in wood, but not great for sawing through pieces.  It's just too short of a saw section.  I haven't tried the wrench yet.

The guthook/seatbelt cutter on mine came rather dull.  I tried sharpening it, but haven't gotten too far with it yet.  The fine serrations seem like they would be a help with skinning and cutting through sinew.

Overall it isn't a bad knife.  I find it a bit large for pocket carry, but would be glad to have it in a bag or emergency kit.

I've picked up a few of the Aitor models, especially those with folding pliers. They are all made quite well, and the blades are stamped SPAIN. Not sure where in the US they could be bought nowadays though..?

I could not find other place in US,...

However looks that also here in US are kind of expensive, I expected more cheaper.
For that price I believe I could get a much better SAK,
But I would like to get one but no for that price, I will continue searching to try to find it one in the future at better price if possible, 

Thanks to all for the info.
