I look forward to it- the Wingman at least shouldn't be hard to beat in the rust test.

While I appreciate the potential for gimmicky-ness, Titanium, bonded to steel is actually a known process in manufacturing, and can strongly inhibit rust. If these tools are meant for 'real world survival', then great rust resistance might be a good idea.Now... I'm not saying what Camillus is doing actually yields great results, but I also won't write the titanium bonding as only a marketing tool until I have a chance to try these things out.So, I guess I need to add 'rust test' to my battery of tests for the tool when I get it. I'll test it against the Bear Grylls Survival Tool Pack (BG 'Strata'), and a Leatherman (probably my Wingman) for comparison, I think.
I do remember the "South Pacific" episode (S02E16) where he uses the bit driver on his harmonica to take the metal piece off to make into a spear tip for fishing. I don't remember if it was a Philips/Flathead or Robertson or if I could even tell.
Not to stymie the conversation, but just to let you all know, I got confirmation that my tool is on the way, and will arrive between Thursday and next Tuesday. Then, many questions will be answered. Hopefully.
