The Great Multitool.org Trivia Thread

[Grant Lamontagne]

Here's an interim question-

What was the first multitool offered by SOG?

Def

SOG Toolclip ?  (and I didn't even need to look it up - my inner nerd must be working well       )

That would be the one!

Let's not forget the real question:

In what year did Case knives begin the XX stamping, and what does the XX mean?

Oh, is that what we are?

I believe that "nerd" is a reasonably accurate description for a significant percentage of MTo members, but would never presume to label any particular individual as such (except for myself) 

You will have to decide whether it applies to yourself or not

Ok give me a minute to think of one

[Poncho65]

The prototype LM Freestyle looked a bit different than the one we have now, what made it different from today's production version?

I had to research this one, I hope that is allowed (it is an "open book" exam, isn't it ?      ).

The prototype LM Freestyle had a carabiner/bottle opener and flat/philips driver, both were removed in the production version which made it significantly smaller than the Skeletool.

[Grant Lamontagne]

You can actually see the original Freestyle prototype in this photo that I took at the 2008SHOT Show:

It's the one in the middle.

Here is a comparison shot of the drivers:



And the same one as above but without the watermark getting in the way.

Fine research Greg Next question

[Grant Lamontagne]

I wonder how hard it would be for one of our in house modders to design a Prototype Freestyle bit.   

Here's an easy one to keep things going until Greg gets us one:

What model was available in Storm Grey and Thunder Purple?

The new juices made everything confusing.

[Poncho65]

Great question

Give me a few to find a good question

[Poncho65]

With the PST, how many major variations of different types of knife blades did it have in its 21 year run and what were they?

 

[Grant Lamontagne]

Wow, that's a heck of a question!

Def

[gregozedobe]

I'm back, and my question is:

Besides black, what other colour SOG Micro ToolClips were sold ?
(helpful hint, don't forget the short-lived China v2 colours)

[gregozedobe]

OK, OK, settle down, I know there's a typo there and I can't fix it because I noticed too late - it should be SOG Micro ToolClip

[Grant Lamontagne]

Fixed.

I know the answer to this one, but I'll give it a bit to let someone else play.

Red and yellow and pink and green, orange and purple and blue, I can..


no wait, that's a kids rainbow song, never mind

Close(ish), but not quite right 

[Grant Lamontagne]

It's too bad there isn't a website with a lot of these answers right there in an easy to find format.

Spear, clip, drop point

Clip and drop yes but we have been calling one of them a bit different

I just give it to you cause it technically could be correct

I was looking for this in order oldest to newest

Drop point, saber clip point and clip point

It might not be technically correct  but it is what they were originally called in the PST Chronology project

Next question Steve

[SteveC]

 


What month and year is the earliest date code on a PST ?
