Thanks!
It's quite different from a SAK.
The Kick is little slimmer than a climber, but im my opinion, carries in the pocket unsuspended better than a climber, due to the width and length making it sit better.  :think:
Of course, using a suspension clip is still ideal for comfort.  :tu:
It has great fiddle factor, like a SAK. Open the handles, close the handles, etc, it's quite fun.  :)

The small driver is very good :tu:

But I'm a bit irritated with the thickness of the large driver. Even though it's just a little wider than a SAK bottle opener, it's at least twice as thick, and won't fit into many of the slotted screws that the Vic Bottle opener fits in.  :facepalm:
And it's not as good for prying duties either, thanks to the thickness!

The 3D Philips... I think that the Victorinox SAK equivalent is better... Maybe I'm using it wrong, but it doesn't feel as capable, despite being bigger.  :-\

Can opener gets a  :tu:, it doesn't leave a sharp edge behind.   :like:

The pliers feel plenty capable.  :like: :like:

And did I mention the fiddle factor?  :D
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!

Yes, the BO is great looking on them :dd: :like:

The Phillips is better on this series to me than Vic :think: Yeah you must be doing it wrong :pok: :rofl:

The look of the BO caused me to track down all of them with Zytel as well :facepalm: Well not the Core yet anyways :whistle: :D

I could be wrong.  :drink:
Tell me how you use the Philips on this?  :think:
It's my first multiplier and I've only had it since Saturday, and haven't REALLY tried using the Philips.
Handles open, closed, etc? :think:
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!

I usually leave it open with the Phillips side and the other half closed (leaving the tool as long as possible) and that gives more more leverage  :tu: I also use it L shaped and this provides good amount of torque as well :cheers:

I was just teasing though as I get good results from the LM and Vic drivers :D

I'd like a clam shell package opener/orange peeler tool thingy on my Kick. :)
As far as I know, I can either:

Sharpen the can opener

Or
Make one out of the blade.  :multi:

Advise?  :cheers:
How would I sharpen the can opener so it works effectively? It seems a little too thick to score oranges without squirting juice, even if it were sharp. And working on it may hamper its can opening ability?  :think:

My favoured option:
The blade will have to go in the long term, so I may as well turn it into something useful interesting. As it will have a thinner cutting part than the can opener,  it should be able to cut more cleanly and easily. :think:
Is there a particular shape that I should use as a guide when grinding?
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!

Just sharpen the first bit of the opener at a little bit less of an angle that what it is and you will be surprised at how well it opens packages :cheers:

I think Steve had some pics of this but Photo bucket may have killed those links :facepalm:

If no pics are taken or you don't get what I am talking about then I will get a pic of mine that I have sharpened on my Rebar :tu: It also still will function as a can opener :like: So you lose nothing and gain a function :tu:

I dropped and broke my phone yesterday and took me a while to activate a new one :facepalm: Will try and get a pic of it up this evening or by Saturday at least :salute: I only sharpened it an 1/8th of an inch on the end at a less sharp angle that what is already there and sharpened it until it was sharper than the opener and viola, a package cutter :cheers: :like:

Here is a link to the link of some of Steve's pics of the can opener sharpening if I don't get around to getting the pic quick enough for you :cheers:

Don't know if there are any closer or better shots of it in there or not :think: but it will give you the basic idea hopefully :cheers:

 :facepalm:
I sharpened more than SteveC did then. I also put a slight edge on the opposite side .
 :facepalm:
No opening cans for this one now, the edge would go blunt?  :-\ :think:
I can cut paper with the tip.





Thanks for the link, I thought that photobucket had eaten the photos.  :ahhh :twak:
