Some good questions so far guys :popcorn:

I would answer this but I can't think of a good question to ask in return :think: :D

Give it a try anyway- I can loan you one of my questions, such as:

What year did Victorinox introduce the utility hook on the back of the scissor layer?

See?  Questions are the easy part!  :

Ok, we all know that the first Leatherman PST was sold thru Cabela's.  What was the other mail order business selling that first LM multi tool?

Technically that is right, but Ponch asked what the Australian military called it, and that means the correct answer is F___ing Ridiculous Eating Device.... but I'll understand if Ponch declares you the winner.  This is a family friendly forum after all!

Two models of the Tough Grip was produced the ST6 and the ST6H. What was the difference between the two models?

Oh, the knife blades are different.  The ST6 has a clip point while the ST6H has the sheepfoot blade.

Presumably you mean the inline Phillips, not the backspring Phillips....?
