Tied up and buggered I'm so glad I didnt share a tent with you two DuncAfter I posted that I regretted it. At least it wasn't about me though.
Is the proteous good Mike?
I like the sabercat.
Sounds like you guys had a great time You did take an awful lot of goodies there didnt ya! That Camo Charge looks better every time I see it Only trouble is I've spent too many pennies lately, so I should be slowing down at bit (we all say that and then buy more stuff )Anyway, just wanted to go back to the talk of the SURGE. Nobody likes it?? I got one just a couple of days ago and I am quite impressed to be honest. Mine does rattle a bit but that doesn't bother me. I really like having the one handed opening scissors and the interchangeable saw is cool tool. A little surprised you lot don't like it. I think you're all too much in love with Swiss stuff
I have my boy on the weekend's so there sacrisanct, but I'm sure we can sort something out...how about breaking your leg Dunc mate
Frankly it was too large, lacked any concesion to hand comfort with it's total lack of rounded edges, weighs to much for what supposed to be a compact belt tool, was too wide and too fat, at least to me As far as heavy duty LM's go, I'd much rather carry my Core or and old ST200 (which I like quite a lot )

I see why you'd like to carry a core in stead, its rounded on its edges and does feel better to carry. Whats your opinion on the Core anyway Mike, you like it?

Whats your opinion on the Core anyway Mike, you like it?I do really like the Core (I'll do a review after I've used it a bit more) but it's as big as I'd want to go for practical EDC
I am fairly wedded to the Swiss way of doing thing's , and the Swisstool is still (in my opinion) way better than the Core in that it's more comfortable to use, has a greater utility, and is arguable every bit as strong as the Core But I do like the Core's old school ruggedness

But it has those locks though.

Micky,Is your boy over every weekend or is there a time when his ma might take him away for a week. In other words could there be ANY weekend available. Only reason I ask is that I might get hold of the hanger on a weekend. We could camp in one of the rolling fields that surround it (for free) and have the comforts of a warm dry planning room to show and tell. Its safe secure and free.Just a thought.
We can sort it...all for one and leave no man behind...
