Your BO has character.  The Stainless seems immune from such developments.

So, after 15 years of fine service my Gerber had to give in  :-[
Still, goes on as reliable backup whenever needed!  :D

Thanks! Just needed a replacement, he was getting old with all the sharpening and grinding of blades. Actually i considered a new Gerber from Amazon, but a local hardwarestore had Vic Spirits on sale so went there. :angel:
Really liked the Gerber for all those years and still do   :)

I just received the MP 400 still warm from Lynn's $10.00 challenge. Other than having been sharpened quite a bit, and needing to be sharpened again, it's in remarkable shape.  It's amazing that she was able to find it for only $10.00.

It is my first 400 Mags, but not my first Gerber MP as I have an early Mr. Pinchy.  The pliers don't slide out as easily as I've been used to. Once the pliers are out the handles are quite floppy. Is it normal for the 400 to be so loose? It weighs quite a bit less than Mr. Pinchy and doesn't feel nearly as solid. I do like the pliers, and the Fiskars scissors are really nice. I'm looking forward to carrying it for a while when the 111mm challenge is over.

One of the great things about the 400 and 600 is the tolerances  - they are loose, but it means they don't get gritty or clogged. And don't worry - it is solid  :D The pliers will loosen in time and flicking will never seem so possible  :cheers:

Here's the 400 that the wonderful Spartan19 sent me - now completely UK legal for EDC anywhere!

File and saw are from a Diesel (donated by the magnificant Kev Davey  :salute:

The file needed a chamfer at the end to fit in the 400 frame and both tools will need a slight fettle to loosen them up. The jaws close nicely and are still flickable  :tu:  :D

I am starting to see/feel why they are so many Gerber supporters. IMHO, I think the ergonomic of using the pliers are far superior on the MP series as compared to other manufacturers. If pliers are important to you, go Gerber!
