No, the one handed blades don’t have half stops. Also, the Locksmith has a one handed blade.

I wouldn't mind a half stop, to be honest.  I'm finding that my need for a OHO blade is inversely proportional to the blade length I need.  What I mean is...  I find the Skeletool blade more suitable for quick tasks than the OH Trekker blade.   :pommel:

Day 10: Put the wire stripper to work!  After cutting the insulation with the main blade, I used the stripper, and it worked great!

Great use Barry! :like: :tu: :tu:

Bonus pic: My mighty 111 with backup, the longest break my Swisschamp has had in awhile.  I brought it in from it's spot in my Beetle to oil it up and clean it.

Great shots guys!
Comis I love your Iceland pics! We were there as a layover on our way to Berlin a few years ago, we loved it. I have a photo I took of that sculpture I thought was pretty good, but that one with the Northern lights, that’s next level! I dragged my wife out there to get a photo of the house where Reagan & Gorbachev had their summit.

Day 10
The outrider with my afternoon smoke and a handful of wasp galls I've been picking up in the yard.  I found an interesting article on making ink from wasp galls.  As a historian I get a kick out of this sort of thing.  Might have to try it out.

We woke up to a winter wonderland, there was frost covering all of the trees, it was quite spectacular. My phone wasn’t quite able to capture the moment, but I tried!

Day 11:

Went with a bit "different" SAK; the Master RT. Produced in 2010 only for the 125th anniversary's "On the Road Collection" it's not really that common.  And, I came upon it by accident. Well, I didn't know it existed until poking around the SAKWiki when I had better stuff to do.    Back in December of 2016; I ordered a cheap 111mm Soldier from a retailer of "prepper" supplied in NC who, for about a year or two; also sold secondhand knives on the website; and older/rarer SAKs often popped up cheap. This one was $10.  Got my Voyageur (Cellidor handles with T&T however) from them for $10 as well.  This was to be a gift for a buddy of mine. Well, they took forever to ship it; as well as an extended break. It was probably mid January before FedEx dropped it off at my place. Well, I first noticed the knife was blue-gray. Soldiers are OD Green. I first said to myself; "Could this be a Master RT?"; and then I opened up the Ziploc bag, to discover well, that's what it was. This put me in a pickle. One, I received the wrong item; and kinda felt indebted to return it; notify incorrect item. But, I wanted this more than what I was supposed to get (I already have a 2015 Soldier, but I lost it), and I'd also have to find another knife for that buddy. I ended up giving him a 1980s Tinker Small with Caterpillar inlay (he ran their equipment for nearly 40 years in the mines) that had never been carried or used, and was still in the box.   When I was in a mechatronics program at the local community college (where I met this guy); I chose this knife as my carry. A wood saw was quite useless outside of the Back 40. But, a metal file often came in handy, and the OHO serrated blade ate rubber tubing and packaging for lunch.



I had to remove the stub of a key that had busted off in a lock (which was still on my keys)  in order to replace it with the key from the new lockset.  I used the big screwdriver for opening up the split ring, and tried to use the file to cut through the busted key, since I couldn't get it off.  Ended up using my SwissTool cutters to cut one part of the keyring hole in the key away, and breaking the key off the ring by twisting the top of the keyring hole with the pliers. SwissTools have the best pliers shape, and best tool layout, but they're miserable with gloves on, and I feel adding that second cutter for stranded wire was stupid.   I can't wait until the MXBS OHO Spirit shows up in the US market. Also cut off the sprung split ring that originally held on my Olight i1R before I put it on the carabiner by itself with a bigger split ring.

Day 10

Used Work Champ to extend a radiator power cord

I started with Phillips screwdriver for disassembly


Then wire stripping with the main blade and cap lifter - I really feel this is quite a nice solution btw - didn’t appreciate it at all when I got to try it at first




Then pliers for crimping of course
I used this method for cord extension - quite simple yet pretty reliable + ceramic frame is resistant to high temperature just in case


And Phillips for tightening the screws again


All works like a charm
Dream. Wish. Leave nothing undone. Repeat.

Not a lot of use today for the Outrider - Cut a lime, a chip bag, and some seasoning packs.  Opened a couple bottles of beer.
