My First Leatherman.
on: May 07, 2014, 01:46:52 AM
I traveled to Colorado in 1986 to hunt with my buddy's brother,Steve .My new friend Steve,who owned the ranch on which we would hunt,showed this new tool to me.I thought I was fully equipped with my V-nox Champion and my Randall model 11 Alaskan Skinner,until I saw Steves Leatherman.

No sooner than I arrived back home,here on the east coast,I went in search of a Leatherman.I still have that tool almost 30 years later.LOL.

All of this talk about Leathermans had me thinking about updating with a few more.

So I just ordered a Wave and a Super Tool 300.I would have bought a Surge but I couldn't find one,at what I thought was a fair price.So the hunt continues.LOL.


PS: I forgot to mention that I also own a Super Tool from about 1994.

Wow. Nice. It looks to still be in incredibly good condition, and if the sheath is original, it's ALSO in great shape. Great specimen.  :tu:

I have a confession to make.

I am a sick puppy.

I actually clean,lubricate,buff out scratches and polish my knives and multi-tools.

Did I mention that I have a sickness.LOL.
