Last minute gift wrapping timeeee

wow !! Always wanted one of those. 
 They are rare as a green dog, especially in my country   

I'll be honest with ya, scissors are not great..... Handle tools and overall feel of it are quite good, but the scissors could be better

that's what I read most everywhere...I'll keep my Micra   

[Higgins617]

You lot get to pick my carry for Christmas Eve festivities at the family's house.... if anyone views this in the next few hours. Might need to open some clam shell packs, turn battery door screws, pop beers.

A. Skeletool
B. Camo Fuse
C. Wave
D. Bucktool
E. Cadet
F. Old Climber
G. Rebar
H. Classic


Then Watches I have

B. Timex Expedition Scout

Coin pocket can be filled with a combo of my great grandfather's Zippo and...
A. Classic(if not picked above)
B. Juice B2
C. Vic Money Clip
D. Nothing

And final option.... Should I have my Dime, peanut lighter, Olight I3, and K Tool dangling from my pocket?

Load up with tools til your pants fall off, then put one thing back in the drawer pull your pants up and go.........at least you'll be covered. Your posterior and your need for multitools.........

I the way Butch thinks

Anything with a blade and a screwdriver should do the trick

[Poncho65]

But for the sake of the game I will say take a Wave and a Classic

[Higgins617]

Went Wave and Juice B2 with my dime Sbiner.... The Wave is new and my first one.

[Higgins617]

Pretty much have this nailed down as my work day carry, at least for the next little while.

[Higgins617]

Double posting because this is like my own little island! So Kampfer is definitely right about the B2 being ugly and uninspiring, but damn is the cutting power and tiny form factor growing on me. Tucks in a coin pocket along side the Zippo and instantly forget its there. Starting to like this one a good bit.

I notice that you've broken your juice in half. Where's the rest of it?

I'll give ya this one and the Skeletool. Anymore and it'll go right to your head

Here is most of my EDC stuff and where I store it. Not seen are the fixed blades kept in the drawer below the folders, and the gear that stays elsewhere like the car or tacklebox.

[Poncho65]

Some very nice gear in that box

[Higgins617]

The Charge and Wave are new!

Very very nice then

[Higgins617]

First time getting to handle, nevermind use, either model. Charge came with me to work yesterday and immediately proved very useful as I used the file to shorten a copper rivet post a good bit before I could peen it.

I had that SOG Fielder in G10 scales and was a truly beautiful folder, and it's action smooth as silk. 
It also took a screaming edge, and it was definitely my favorite SOG knife.

good memories

Especially good for the money, the wood scaled one was my first "real" pocket knife. Unfortunately it is without it's tip thanks to some grade A stupidity

[Higgins617]

First "mod", fixed the backspring on my Schrade Tough Tool(the made in the USA one), and put in a new pivot bolt in place of the rivet.

[Higgins617]

Also got two new toys recently!


The SAK is a Spartan gifted to me by a member here, and has seen a lot of hard use, but makes for a great sheath partner next to the Wave.

whoa those are toys   

[Higgins617]

Picked up two Thrunite T01s as I was curious how they compared to the Olight I3E. Given that they are near enough to the same price, similar output rating, and overall size I wanted to see which was better.

I can certainly say the light put out by each is different. Fit and finish seems to be as well.

I may do a side by side comparison test if anyone would be interested?

Great fix on the Tough Tool as well

[Higgins617]

Poncho I may have to get you on the payroll soon

[Kampfer]

How’s the B2 holding up?

[Higgins617]

Still getting the job done.... been using the Kershaw K Tool to rectify the serrated blade's tendency to roll an edge, and it's worked okay. Just run it over the back side of the edge and it's back to jagged slicing.

Man is it soft though, going to run it into the ground. I still just really enjoy how small it is with the potential to provide such solid cutting ability. Heat treating must not have been too good on these.

Replacement for it is likely to be a Case of some sort in the not so distant future
