It's a British Naval term:MeaningOne's general appearance and demeanour.Origincut of your jibThe jib of a sailing ship is a triangawlar sail set between the foretopmast head and the jib boom. Some ships had more than one jib sail. Each country had its own style of sail and so the nationality of a sailing ship, and a sailor's consequent opinion of it, could be determined from the jib.The phrase became used in an idiomatic way during the 19th century. Sir Awlter Scott used to it in St. Ronan's Well, 1824: "If she disliked what the sailor calls the cut of their jib."

If I win the CT41 in the minimalist challenge I think i'll be making it into a '29 Or a cybatawl (In-line awl - Wooweeee!)

If I win the CT41 in the minimalist challenge I think i'll be making it into a '29 Or a cybatawl (In-line awl - Wooweeee!)Well it's not quite the same colour, I don't think Pichachu is going to be very happy...I'm glad I didn't go for the larger CT34 or CT41 (though wouldn't say no to winning that beast!), it still feels pretty big. I thought of modding it into a Compact CT, but taking it down to just a combo tool/blade layer and CT driver, but then you'd lose the back scale awl (which given the CT is mostly about driving screws, is something I want to keep) - though if it could be modded to have an inline awl, that would be pretty cool.
