Details on the Black Swisstool
on: March 28, 2008, 01:34:27 AM
What year plier head(s) came with the black oxide Swisstool?

I've been EDCing my Swisstool X for a while now and before it starts getting really scuffed and dinged, I might get a BO version (and lose the scissors) and sell the X.

Please, take a look at this thread, there is a picture with the different plier heads and the year of production.

Cool, so yours has the "sharp corners" at the base of the pliers, not the rounded style?

The black SwissTool (or any black oxide tool for that matter) goes through three phases in life:

Phase 1) Its brand new, perfect, and so beautiful that you don't want to use it :-\

Phase 2) Its still mostly new, but has a few scratches on it, LOOKS LIKE HELL, and you're embarrassed to show it to anyone :(

Phase 3) It has a LOT of scratches on it and the black is worn thin on the high spots and edges. It looks like a true warrior tool, and you're proud as hell of that. :)


.....I'm still in the midst of phase 1 with mine ::)

Me thinks once all my latest multitool dealings have finnished then my next must have is a BO Swisstool  :D I think I'd like an early one , 98 pliers should do but I'm not fussed  ;) Didnt realize you could get as late as 05 so I guess their still making them  :D
  Right so what sort of price are we talking about for a new one ?

Here's my one again, just to tempt Ben into getting one :D :D

That's a giant noggin all right!  I wouldn't mind grabbing an '05 myself!

but that's still no reason to mess up the rhythm we had going!
