SOG really needs replaceable wirecutters. It's strange to me that they have a system that doubles your leverage and adds to your cutting power yet they have less than the necessary strength and ability for what you'd want to cut with that kind of power.

Original Blacktip? Were there multiple versions?
There was a replaceable cutters version at one point.
Id forgotten about that. Wasnt it recalled, and rare as unobtanium now?

Does anyone actually have an example  of the replacable cutter Blacktip anymore?


Yes (the pliers were prone to breaking), Yes (very hard to find) and Yes (and I'm sure a few other MTo'ers also have one in their "not a collection").

I had to choose Other as the Signal isn't on the list.  That is the closest to an edc MT I've carried, and was on a several month streak (which is a record for me) until I created the Reave (Rebar/Wave hybrid) and Blarge (Blast/Charge hybrid) recently.

Not an edc, but the old Leatherman PST on the left sees occasional pocket use.

Mostly the Juice S2. When I get something new I will EDC that for a while and then get back to the Juice.

The Leatherman Rebar, but mostly for the cutters. Makes short work out of plastic bindings and zip ties.

Swisstool scissors also so a good job with handling zip ties and plastic bindings. The problem i always have with the plier cutters is that you put a zip tie around a tube for example you can't reach it with the plier cutters. You can still cut those with the scissors tip.

I'm not sure why anyone would be surprised that so many people use the Spirit. ;)

I am not surprised so many people own a Spirit as it's a thing of beauty and utility, but I had the general feeling that it is so shiny it's puts people off using it. Hopefully more owners are becoming users, because the Spirit begs to be used.

Skeletool + Bit Kit, they currently reside in my bike trunk bag. Someone has to use REAL tools to compensate for the "oh so shiny" Spirit crowd...  ;)

I rotate through my tools in no particular order, except during a challenge or when I have something new to play with.  I like having scissors with my EDC.  However, I have recently been carrying a Rebar (which doesn't have scissors) because it gives me an excuse to carry a SAK with scissors, as well as the pliers based tool.

Yep, maybe a stone wash finish would be nice. I don't think the satin leatherman finish will look well on a Swisstool. It declines the beauty of the tool.

I carry a Spirit if I also carrying a folder.
If only one item is being carry, would be a Wave.
EDC: Black Talon, Black Cat, Spirit, LD02
