Which multi would James Bond EDC ?

Dunc · **on:** May 27, 2008, 03:27:33 PM

Theres a new James Bond film out soon and it got me wondering which Multitool he would carry .
I think it would have to be the Victorinox Spirit

If the Full size Swisstool is all set to save the world then the Spirit is set to Charm it .The Swisstool is just too heavy to slip in a dinner jacket and the Spirits smooth elegant lines would be just what 007 would be looking for .

So what do you think 'From Switzerland with love ' ?

I thought "Swisstool" but then realized Bond wouldn't like that big hunk of metal clanking around. You know-svelte, Walther PPK instead of Colt .45 or .44 Magnum. But he's really going to miss that one-hand opening blade when he's grappling with Oddjob or trying to slice a bra strap!

I'd vote for the Wave. Concealable with a lot of punch and one mean looking blade.

Gerber Suspension

Leatherman will custom make a Multiclock. The long pointing things that show the time will become the pliers that is drive by mini hydraulics

Sorry to disappoint Dunc I asked my very own James Bond(aka Jack/"the cracker")

I asked so what about Swisstool/ spirit & he said "Miss Moneypenny carries one of those in her hand bag "

So I says what about SOG

I did not dare ask him about Gerber given all the resent controversy about the Flick,

I offer him a shaken(not stirred martini) and he answers " I carry a Leatherman of course , a Skeletool no less it is light weight, fits under my pillow & the ladies love it"

Now before you get too outraged, this little 007 is six years old & I am sure he would reconsider the Swisstool/spirit when he is a bit more mature & worldly

. Addit it is a cap gun & h20 in the glass

Thanks Dunc he is asking us if he can dye his hair as there are no bonds with red hair

While I think your spot on with the Swisstool / Colt.45 being to big I think he'd pass on the one hand opening , its so un English in a traditional kind of way .

I think 007 would definitely use a LM Skeletool.

ducktapehero · **Reply #13 on:** May 27, 2008, 08:43:18 PM

If people haven't noticed Bond tends to use refined European gadgets. Aston Martins, Walther guns so it's obvious that Mr. Bond would use a refined European multi-tool. Personally I think he would carry a Soldier or a Farmer. Sleek, classy but still rugged as hell.

Pacu · **Reply #14 on:** May 27, 2008, 08:49:25 PM

Daniel Craig as James Bond would carry a Duralast multitool from Target $6.99

Leatherman123 · **Reply #15 on:** May 27, 2008, 09:31:40 PM

Well, not all Walther firearms are made in Europe!

BIG-TARGET · **Reply #16 on:** May 27, 2008, 09:42:22 PM

Well, in the film, THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH. James uses a small, almost SAK Classic size, pen knife.

So logic would dictate the he would probably carry an LM Micra or Squirt. The largest may be a Juice.

Whether or not his MT gets pimped up by "Q" is another story.

ducktapehero · **Reply #17 on:** May 27, 2008, 10:11:16 PM

He's too refined to carry a Leatherman. They may be good tools but refined is not a word I would use to describe them.

Biru · **Reply #18 on:** May 27, 2008, 11:37:28 PM

On that I must agree even though I mentioned the Wave. Except for the product endorsement tie-ins, perhaps Q could whip up something. It could have pliers, garrote, laser torch, martini stirrer and prophylactic dispenser. If there's room left perhaps a knife blade might be in order...

(Image removed from quote.)

You do realize that she was Dr. Christmas Jones in The World is Not Enough, don't you. And she was awful in it. She played a nuclear physicist and she delievered her lines like a robot. Nice to look at, but horribly miscast.

Because of her though, this line is memorable from that film: " And I tought Christmas only came once a year." - James Bond

As far as the question of what multi Bond would use, it would probably be a Q special, but since Q isn't in the last one or the next one, I think it would be a Victorinox Spirit S. He wouldn't want one with that bread cutter of a knife blade. Can you imagine the bad guy laughing at that one if he pulled it out in a fight??

Boys, y'all have missed the boat. . .

Bond, James Bond would carry nothing less than a Sterlling Silver Classic. Probably with some extras added by Q Branch: high intensity laser pointer/cutter, homing beacon, garrotte attached to the key ring and maybe some sort of detonator

WARNING!! Rampant Opinion Follows:

Daniel Craig is the worst Bond ever. The only thing worse in the last movie was the script. They did Pierce Brosnan a favor by not casting him. Without a siginificant change, we may witness the end of the Bond legacy, the most enduring character and movie series ever.

(That felt really good to get that out. Please continue the discussion.)

NeitherExtreme · **Reply #22 on:** May 28, 2008, 02:24:58 AM

I think he'd carry a Juice w/ corkscrew with the Argentinian silver scales.

The last good spy film I saw was SPYGAMES.

I thought Casino Royale was the best Bond film in years. Hey, I love Pierce as Bond (Goldeneye is my fav Bond film), but DIE ANOTHER DAY was horrible. The special effects were awful especially the surfing scenes and the terrible idea of an invisibile car was too much for me.

I thought Daniel Craig was excellent, and I loved how Bond make mistakes in the last film since he was new at being a double 0 agent.

Doesn't sound like you'll be watching Quantam of Solace since you think Craig is horrible and don't like the writers. QofSolace starts immediately after the end of Royale, so you won't be seeing a significant change.

Leatherman123 · **Reply #25 on:** May 28, 2008, 03:00:45 AM

Yeah, Die Another Day sucked hard! But, like you said- Casino Royale was VERY good!

hmmmmm... I have to ask, have you ever read the novels? Daniel Craig may be, arguably, truer to the actual Bond than even Sean Connery. Please don't forget that James Bond was a character in a novel long before a star in a movie. He was a dark, rough-edged character. Nothing even close to the suave Pierce Brosnon, and a world apart from Roger Moore's silly comedy antics.

I doubt that, considering the ratings of Casino Royale, the Bond legacy is going to nosedive anytime soon.
