While I normally don't like larger folders (the exception being Folding Hunters); I've always had a thing for big folding rescue knives. I mostly use this German-made Skedco Warfighter Extreme Medicine (Eickhorn PRT-IV); which opens really quick and a joy to use with gloves on. I just wish the regular PRTs were cheaper--these for a long time were $30 through many people dealing in military surplus (they were issued to combat medics in a rigging kit for MEDEVAC helicopters); while the standard PRT is $120. It also has a seatbelt cutter (cutting twine and opening clam pack, I've just about wore out the section of snap-off blade that forms the tool; and I don't know what type Eickhorn used; guessing OLFA) and a carbide glass breaker.Meanwhile, on the opposite end of the spectrum of folder size, I chose the rare (as a USA model) USA Old Timer 106OT "Granddad's Old Timer" to supplement the TT; since the USA model never had scissors. Due to its rarity, I've used it as a shelf queen, not ever carried or used it. That had to change. So I cleaned it, sharpened it, and lubed it and started carrying it tonight. Today's only use didn't come until just now, after taking today's photo. I used the scribe to peel an orange--it worked great! (Image removed from quote.)

By the way, does any company make a 5/16 to 1/4 hex adapter like the one that came with the ST-5E? Guessing that's something that might be found in a multi-bit driver. I think the Klein works the same way; 5/16 shaft with an internal 1/4 "nut driver" that serves as an adapter for 5/16 bits. At present, I have an old 5/16 #2 Phillips bit that somehow ended up in my handmedown Chapman driver in it. Guessing I'll just buy a set of 5/16 bits. They're tough too; built for impact use.
Day18Rewireing a lamp, mabey.The pup chewed both lamp cords off. To make matters worse these are 1 time assembly with a several inteanal fittings you have to blindly snake the cord through(even though they look like they are 1pc of pipe).I can route the the cord backwards (it wont clear the fittings & bends the other way) but will have to cut the plug and replace it if I do.This pic was taken during clean-up/giving up for the evening. Sad thing... I used to do big mass transit wireing yet am defeated by a desk lamp. Off day I guess.
Great pics GLBM I had a safe as a child but my one was plastic
No idea I think it was just a cheap one
No worries thanks GLBM
Great stuff everyone, this is a fun challenge
Day 19Used the pliers and a Bic to warm up a key for a frozen lock
