Hey from the UK
on: September 02, 2015, 09:41:04 PM
Hi there,

I've been lurking on these forums for years as have always had a bit of a thing for a multitool or SAK.. However it seems to be ramping up of late so I thought it was about time I joined! :)

I'm from Manchester, England so it's always a SAK (usually Alox) in my pocket due to our knife laws but my Leatherman Wave is usually never far away..

Nice to meet you all!

Only joking of course mate :D What tools do you have so far?

Thanks NK!

& thanks a lot trad!! ;)

Well, off the top of my head I'm currently sitting on..

SAK wise:

Black +B Pioneer which is always in my pocket
Red SA Pioneer
Black SA Pioneer
Orange SA Pioneer
Black w/red shield Pioneer
Silver Farmer
Silver Solo x 2
Black SA Solo
Nylon Solo
Black Spartan
Silvertech Huntsman

I think that's it, I'm currently looking to move the SA Alox's on & searching for a One Hand Trekker & maybe a Forester.

& Leatherman wise:

Wave
Blast
Squirt PS4

But I'm loving the look of the Rebar & Supertool 300!

Thinking shifting the SA Alox SAKs will open up some room for a 111mm SAK or new Leatherman :D
