I was thinking that Bob posted one that had scissors that was really really really old :think: I may have been dreaming though :shrug: :D

Info here.




I was thinking older than that :think: Like Pre-Leatherman even ??? Like I said I may have just dreamed it up :D


That is certainly possible Poncho. Some of those contraptions Bob finds are mighty strange.     :D
What? Enablers! Are you serrrrious? Where? I dont see any.

I was referring to Leatherman era plier tools, and yes, Mr. Pinchy is correct!

Great question!  I don't know the answer to that one myself, but I could make an educated guess if no else does.  :D

Gah, you beat my guess by seconds!

interestingly, according to this article, France and Britian can be added to that list too (honorable mention for production in Canada as well)

They may have made some, at some point, in other countries too, but the German and Irish ones were reasonably recent and still available.

Is that your final answer? :pok:
....Yes?...

You have chosen wisely :D Correct :cheers:

http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,5914.0.html It statrted out as a promotional give away tool to advertise the newly released Artifact and it wasn't until later on that enough interest was shown that they put the Shard into production :tu:

Also, last I checked, I'm not sure Canada passes for being a European country....  :ahhh

BTW,  my guesses for that one would have been the UK (because of Sheffield) !and Germany (because of Solingen) so I would have had that wrong.... in case anyone is keeping track....
