My understanding is that the
"cleanskin" minis were the first version, followed by the
"US Pat Pend" version, then came the
"US PAT 4744272" without date codes, then came
"US PAT 4744272" with date codes (earliest date I have is 0395, latest is 0699), the last version had
"TOOL" on the pliers (I have 0102 and 0404). 

Almost all the earlier ones had "USA" on the piers.  I suspect that LM produced a small quantity of mini/PST pliers without "USA" in the early days for some reason (before the infamous "not made in the US court case) and just used them up  (they are definitely not the more angular Japanese pliers)

There were some transitional minis that had "US Pat Pend" on one handle and "US PAT 4744272" (no date codes) on the other handle (just to confuse us poor collectors). 

There are pictures around of a Japanese Mini, but I don't know of anyone who has ever seen one in the metal.

The cleanskins were often etched with promo brand names etc. on the handles, but Hoffritz seemed to prefer to etch their brand on the knife blade rather than on the handle.  I have a cleanskin and a transitional mini with Hoffritz on the blade.

Great info there, Greg :salute: :like: I am liking one more version (or is it 2) and I will have a good set of the variations :cheers: I need to get a family pic together :think:

Posted this yesterday, forgot to update this thread. Pretty cheap but has a very decent F&F. Reasonably sharp and feels great in the hand. Kinda gentleman like, too, with the wood inlays and finger guard and whatnot...

Executive sized, when closed, still has a large strong blade.

I’m not familiar with the remembrance pin. How does it work? Is it a donation purchase?  :dunno:

That is an interesting looking SOG knife, is it designed for like keychain carry or does it have some kind of James Bond like sheath that you can hide in your sleeve or something like that?

Where do you buy SOG from on this side of the pond anyway? ...everywhere I have looked they were stupidly expensive

Due to the increasing usage of torx screws/ bolts (and usually in awkward and hard to reach places), I decided to go out and look for a proper set of torx screwdrivers.

The bits are usually in 80-90% of cases, but they can be a PITA when it comes to tight and hard to reach places and has a tendency to fall out. E.g. when working on electronics or a car.

Found this set at my local hardware store for €6



Actually seems surprisingly well made for the price.



I will see how I like it and how it holds up. If it comes to it a larger set wasn’t that much more expensive, but for €6 I figured what the heck...
