Another great book 👍

That series based on those books is excellent too... Although a tad... erm... darker than Band of Brothers*

Day 15
I got this from my father a couple days ago.
He bought this in '79 or '80,was his first good knife,just before he bought his first handgun.
The Case bowie is a reproduction of the WWII Case V44.
I've been the custodian of my father's guns and knives since my teens,but recently it seems that my father seems to be giving me a more permanent responsibility

Day 11: PowerDelux 8-in-1 Multitool



This is a really slick little gem of a knife. It's 75mm long, so shorter than a Wenger SAK. It has a very sharp tanto style blade but the forward edge is blunted.  Very good scissors, a 2.5D phillips with nail file, a dual opener with a flat driver on the end, and a pretty good saw. All this in a very pocketable package. I carry this in the coin pocket of my jeans, and it fits even better than a Wenger. All the tools are locking as well.

I grabbed this little gem off of Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Z4DBFXN
There is also a "Bibury" branded version which swaps the saw for a line cutter, which you can get here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082HNVJTB/
The line cutter is dull and can't cut anything without a good deal of sharpening, but the saw is actually pretty good. So you decide there.

Basically, the tools in this knife are based on Gerber Suspension tools. They're not identical - the pivot in these two tools is very slightly larger than the Suspension. However, the lock bar is the same and the profile of the tool is the same. So if you ream out the pivot in a suspension tool, it will swap right in. The tools that are actually included are pretty good. The only lamentation I have is the lack of a large flat driver. That's the only thing that seems to be missing.

As mentioned, the blade is very sharp, and though it's lacking an edge on the front part, it's quite useful as-is. (And if you have some patience, you can add an edge to the front for a true tanto blade)



The scissors in my PowerDelux came sharp enough to cut paracord. And cut it over and over and over again, and then even cut the individual inner strands cleanly. These are GOOD scissors. Better than the scissors in any Gerber I own. Suspension NXT, Suspension, multiple MP600s, and an MP400. These scissors are just better. The Bibury scissors were almost as good. I'm thinking that was sample variation. They could cut paracord if you're selective about where in the scissors you snip. So you may get good scissors or great scissors. In either case, both of these tools have better scissors than those in any of my Gerber tools.



On the other hand, the can opener sucks. It's a copy of Suspension NXT's dual tool, but with some changes. They added an unsharpened wire stripper notch (akin to the notch on a SAK), but also made the profile for the can opener smaller and did not put an edge on it. While bottles are opened easily with the bottle opener part, it is a struggle to open a can, and my thumb hurts after trying. The pic shows the difference, the PowerDelux required a lot of tiny holes, and lots of force to puncture, and it took forever. In comparison, the NXT made a smoother opening with fewer plunges, with far less effort, and in 1/4 the time.



The phillips driver fits more screws than any of the Gerber drivers I have. Suspension or MP600 or NXT, this PowerDelux slots into a variety of screws better. The file is short, but it works well on steel and aluminum.  And fingernails of course. The saw is another stand-out tool. Yes it's short, but it went through small green branches quicker than the SOG PowerPlay saw. (though just barely)

So overall, I find this tool supremely useful. If they'd fix the can opener and add a flat driver, it'd be just about perfect. As it stands, I use it all the time in place of a SAK. The locking gerber style tools are just a pleasure to operate. I like my Suspension NXT because of the tools. I don't like the pliers or the frame or anything else really. This trims all of that down so I have some of the essential-to-me tools from a Suspension, in a smaller package. And I can carry a multitool that's more suitable, or even one with a reduced toolset like the Gerber Octane or SOG Sync belt buckle, and still have a good selection of usable tools on me.

For under $12 bucks, it really is a great deal.

Charles

There’s some seriously cool steel on this thread, not to mention bronze and flint!

We’re halfway there so time to celebrate with a old one and my only other Damascus blade, a Vic 2016 Pioneer X which has joined me for a dull day at the keyboard- over for another day thankfully!  :drink:

Day 15: This is the Buck I was intending to post the other day, but I couldn't find it.  Turns out it was in one of the OTHER places I store my MT/SAKs.
Can you have too many tools and places to keep them?  Nah, that's stupid!
Buck 309 Companion.  This was my EDC back in the 80's long before I even heard the term "EDC".
Actually I think I lost that knife, and bought this as a replacement.
