The sharp tip of the MP-600's wharncliff blade makes an excellent thread puller. #domesticated

DAY 21:

I planted a kowhai tree.



What type of tree is a kowhai :think: Looks similar to what we call a locust or thorn bush here :shrug: People use the logs of a locust for fence posts as they are very rot resistant  :tu:

I love planting and watching trees grow :dd: :like:

So since we have all been carrying the MP for 3 weeks (some.have longer I am sure ;) ) How is everyone liking or disliking it :think: I for one am doing way better with the MP now and am glad I forced myself to do this challenge  :like: I didn't know how it would go but it has been a very positive experience overall  :cheers: It has its shortcomings yes but what MT doesn't  ;) I will still be glad to get back to my other carry options but not at all desperate  :D The MP will also be in with my other EDC MTs as an option from now on as well :salute:

How is everyone liking or disliking it :think:

I've carried the MP series on and off for many moon, and am reasonably happy with it.  I would be just fine with no other MT.  In my light-duty usage, the MP does everything I ask of it.  If I could have only one MT, it would be a Swisstool or Spirit. But fortunately, I don't have to choose just one.  I am growing a little weary of posting pics after 7x weeks, including the OHT Challenge, so I'll be taking a break in May.

 :cheers:

Glad to know you are getting along with it so well PN :tu: since you have just done the OHT and are in the MP600 challenge which of the 2 do you prefer  :think: I have an OHT on the way and was wanting to know which you prefer :salute: :like:

I would also like to hear from Zoid about which he prefers as he was in the OHT challenge as well :think: :tu:

Am thinking the MP600 would be a good tandem for the Fireman when I do get to go on a camping trip... God knows when... :facepalm:

Someone told me that it is even lighter than the Spirit...

Mr. Pinchy was my first multitool that wasn't a SAK and I've always liked it.  It's missing a saw and scissors so if this wasn't a challenge I'd probably be carrying a Huntsman as a companion piece, but I may be ordering a 400 or 600 pro-scout soon and they will be stand alone tools as they do have the saw and scissors.

Day 21


Made a hole in the belt for a DIY stopper so the lead wont slide of the belt. Use the pliers to tighten the knot as well.

Great to hear that its working out awlright for you, Poncho  :tu:

I like the mp600 from a functional point of view and its cheap  :D ... so I dont mind using it at work. Deployment of inner tools is fast enough for me, faster than the LM Rebar (if you dont slide the plier head back in - I dont). I like the steel and heat treat to. The the warncliff blade is functional in many ways also, I know many people dislike it..... But it lacks some attension to details, its not space efficient (the Rebar shines in that aspect), the blade/saw/file scissors could be 5-10mm longer and  there are other small cons like this.
30 days with one tool is a pretty long time to think about the MTs you are not using, I am finding that out now  :think: Its my first challenge, so it could be that I would get tired of any MT after 30 days. But right now, i am getting slightly tired of using ONLY the mp600  :bnghd:  :D
