Norwegian incoming!
on: April 07, 2013, 01:24:46 AM
Why hello there! Wall of text follows... summary at bottom.

Nick's HeXeY, I'm from Norway, just shy of being as far north as the northernmost point in Alaska.
I got my first, proper, multitool at the age of 18, summer of '11, just before I got conscripted into the Norwegian Army.
It was a gorgeous LM Wave, BO, which helped me a lot during my year in the Norwegian Artillery. During this year, we did a lot of maintenance on old M113s and MB240s, one day walking from the garage to the mess hall, I saw something black lying on the ground, no one but me noticed it somehow, and I went to pick it up. It was quite heavy and as I picked it up I realised it was a sheath that said Led Lenser. "Heaviest flashlight I've ever held" I thought to myself, and opened it up, to find a BO Swisstool X inside. Showed the others, one of them tried to claim it as I already had my Wave on my belt, I refused and said I'd hold onto it incase someone came about asking for a Swisstool that he'd lost. 7-8 months later, no one had, so I kept it. I decided not to run around asking if anyone was missing it, as I'm sure the first one I'd ask would say yes, no matter if it was his or not...
This started my interest for sure, now having two MTs, and I started looking at what else there was, found the MUT, got me interested as it looked badass, and one thing led to another, and I got the MUT after leaving the Army. Thing's have escalated...
Stumbled across the forums while looking for reviews on what Leatherman to get next and have been lurking for some time. Decided to sign up today!

Currently I own: (in circa order of purchase date)
Leatherman Wave, BO
Swisstool X, BO
Leatherman MUT, not BO (kinda regret that, BO looks so much better...)
Leatherman Juice S2 (used)
Leatherman Squirt P4 (used)
Victorinox Cadet (supposedly a Limited Edition, cost 35 USD new...)
Wenger EvoGrip 81 (used)
Leatherman Supertool 300, BO
Leatherman Style (used)
Leatherman Skeletool (used)
Leatherman Juice C2 (used)
Leatherman Blast (used, gifted to my brother for everyday repairs as he's going to "high school" out of town)
Leatherman Charge TTi, picked up just this Friday  :D

Also have the Leatherman Z-Rex, Carabiner and both bit kits.

Summary:
Nick HeXeY, 20, from far north in Norway, "collects" Leathermans/MTs in general/knives...
