Greetings and salutations from Illinois
on: January 30, 2014, 07:46:14 AM
So to introduce myself, long time lurker, new poster.  I actually got directed here from another forum that feeds my gear addictions, but have come to realize the core of my load has always been a multitool.

I am a Leatherman fan since my scouting days, and in fact still have my old PST sitting in my knife box.  I think I still have the sheath, too.  I've owned a couple of Gerbers, but from back before The Changeover in Manufacturing, and a few Swiss Army knives (Explorer I bought back in the 90s, and a Trekker). 

By profession, I'm a cook.  And if you've never worked in a commercial kitchen, trust me when I say the three things you need working in that environment are a good chef knife, a good multitool and a box of bandaids.

Anyways, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

The world belongs to the funkiest.

Greetings and Welcome,  the PST is my favorite as well as the explorer.  I like Gerber but mostly the older Mr Pinchy, I recently got a MP400 and like it's size and weight.  Knife box huh? Whacha got in there?  I too worked in professional kitchens and agree the tools of the trade are as you mention.

Last count, there's four Spydercos, six Leatherman tools, a couple of random sheath knives, a couple of butterfly knives, my axe collection, my one remaining Victorinox, four Kershaws, and my work knives.  8 inch chef knife, 6 inch santoku, 4 inch santoku and a ceramic flensing knife.
