Yes I noticed the corkscrew! :twak:

Where on earth did you find that one?

So what do you think of the folding two-man crosscut saw and folding machete on it? ;)

Well, the saw is the best i've ever tried in a multi (have another wenger this size and love the saw); and the folding machete is very good, but i just wish that it had a drop or a spear point instead of the clip, just a matter of personal preferences.

Wow, a SwissGrip with a corkscrew, and an Iron Grip!  You got me beat- my SwissGrips both have Phillips drivers on them and some guy wrote all over my IronGrip! :P

I love the Ranger series saw- it offers so much more reach over any other folding multi saws and took first place in my Wood Saw Shootout some time ago... well second place behind a dedicated hacksaw!

You didn't say much about your Iron PocketGrip Carlos. That is the first one I've seen with blunt nose pliers.  :)

Shame on me! You are right, i almost forgot. I got the IronGrip about a year ago, after reading some reviews on the main site, and the one you made some time ago in this forum (wonder why was never posted in the main site?). This one has blunt nose pliers, a plain edge blade and  the locking mechanism is a sliding tab instead of a pivot, but i think there are more variations than we can imagine. I don't use it much, but really like it, it's a cool little tool.

Its my favorite PocketGrip. Much thinner than the normal red cellidor ones.  :)
