I've got one and I really like it, the scissors are about as good as they can get on a multitool in my opinion. But like 50ft-trad said, I also didn't attack woody stems with them (even though I believe the scissors could handle them), that's what the saw is for .Here are a couple of pics:
Thanks for the pics TG! Good to hear about the scissors, I was wondering. The saw looks like it's bigger than most, or all MT's out there also.
I already have various Rangers and pruning shears/scissors, so I don't really need one. Nevertheless, it's been on my wish list for ages. Wish it was a little less expensive. Thanks for the info & pics.
I ordered one at Knivesandtools.nl. (Price E 69, and I had a E 10 discount coupon). It'll arrive later today.

I've asked Whoey if he can create the awards.
CONGRATS , Ron-ster I want one for next seasons crop! Hopefully I can snag one well before harvest time ..................... ( crosses fingers an toes)
The 71 is a welcome addition to my gardening tool set ...
Nice collection! Opinel saws are fantastic, even better than the Bahco Laplander IMO. I've been trying to think of an excuse to get a big one for a while. Maybe this spring.
