Post by: Mike, Lord of the Spammers! on September 25, 2007, 04:10:23 PM
Welcome to Multitool.Org  :)

Please use this forum to introduce yourself to your fellow forumites, were a friendly bunch and some off us even have a clue what were talking about ;D, so take some time to introduce yourselfs maybe tell us about your tool history or why you simply have to get the latest greatest multi tool out there :)

Take your time to have a look around and maybe ask a question or provide a solution to another member, but most of all have fun and tell all your friends ;D

 You know what is funny ??? I never said this here , but I never posted a Intro.
 as a new guy here....
 Well...here we go...
 Years ago, I saw the Movie " Blown away " ( I hope this is the right name )
 and when I saw the Bomb squad guys playing with that GERBER I said to
 myself : " Oh Nice ! I've gotto have one like that ! " 
 So....I did.
 Many years go by never got another multi tool...Im a huge fan of Swiss knife
 but never went out of my way to buy one....
 A friend of mine found a LM and he knows I love gedgets so he told me that
 I could have that tool ( Wave ) But as an EDC Forums member I sold to get
 funds to another gadget.....
 Yes ... too bad but I did.
 So here comes the second part and how Im here...
 Watching tv, " Survivorman " I've got the BUG again !  :multi:
 I had a bright idea ! Why not find a MULTITOOL FORUM ???
 I FOUND !  MULTITOOL.ORG
 so I enjoy here and Im glad I found !

I agree, glad to have you.  As for the SwissTool, it can't be rushed- you need to discover how much you need one in your own time! :D

Seriously, I'm the owner and head administrator of this site, and we decided to start a forum specifically for new members to maybe introduce themselves and maybe learn a little something about all of us, and what we are striving for here.

My name is Grant Lamontagne, and I started this site after being somewhat successful with with the homepage of the largest Swiss Army Knife Collector's Group in the world, The Secret Order Of Swiss Army Knives, found at www.sosakonline.com and I decided I'd like to see something similar that revolves around multitools.  Enter Multitool.org, which was a side project for over a year before we decided to launch it- if we'd waited until it was perfect, it would still be on the back burner!

Well, we've been open about 14 months as I write this, and we've hit a few snags, but overall, it's been a great success.  We've grown from reviews and a small forum to a significant sized forum, over 80 tool reviews and now an online Multitool Encyclopedia that is user editable... which means if anyone has any info at all that's not there, they can add it!

This site, as with SOSAKOnline is a community effort.  It exists because the folks who frequent the place like it, and contribute to it.  I may be the head cheese, but if you ever feel like disagreeing with me, go right ahead- there's no lightning bolts waiting for dissenters here!  If you have any ideas on improvements or changes, by all means, submit them to me either in a private message here, or email them to me at grant.lamontagne@gmail.com and I will give it the attention it deserves.

In addition, we have a whole team of moderators and administrators that work to keep the site organic and we have a really good crop of members that help.  Of course our goal is steady, continual growth, which is why we have this forum here.  Take a chance and say Hi- you may accidentally enjoy yourself!   :grin:

Post by: Mike, Lord of the Spammers! on September 25, 2007, 10:36:30 PM
Well in the spirit of introductions, here's a bit about me :)

My name's Mike and I'm from the UK, which basically means I'm either in bed, or at work when you lot are posting ::)
I've always been a knife nut, and drifted away from the tactical knife scene, when our laws became to draconian to run the risk of carrying anything sharp and expensive ;)

But I don't mind because it rekindled my love of Swiss Army Knives, and from there it was just a short step to Multitools :)

I'm still a member of many forum's but this is the place I call home, as it is by far the friendliest forum out there, but don't think that makes us boring ole farts, trust me nothing could be further from the truth ;D

So kick back, relax and enjoy it mate :)

Hmmm about myself, let's see what I can come up with that sounds convincing enough  :police:

My name is David Bowen, I live down here in the deep south. I moved here about six years ago from Vermont and have tried to make this place a home as much as any place. Besides work and family I am your Site Manager for this wonderful website as well as an admin on the forums. I am Grant's partner in crime and together along with a long string of people, have made this place a reality. I had created the orginal multitool review site called "Multitool Manifesto", it worked well and I had alot of support from companies. But because I was trying to do the one man band routine I couldn't deal with all of the work and not enough time to do it all.

Grant hooked me on SAK's and rekindled my love for tools when I introduced him to my site and said that he wanted to do something along those lines but never knew how to  get it started. So between us we grew the idea from the little site it was, to a full blow onslaught like you see now. This site is my baby and always will be, I even put it on my most recent resume  ;)

For my history with tools and knives, only been using and collecting since 2001ish, before then I thought knife knuts were just wierdos, now I am just one of the crowd.

  My name is Robert McClain,and I'm co-moderator of the Gerber and Outdoor Edge Forums.Home for me is in Southeast Ohio.Don't let my avatar fool you...I only wear a tutu on formal occasions ;D My passions are cycling,history and gadgets.
              I became fascinated with multi-tools as a kind of a sidebar to a passion for SAKs,and once I saw for myself that multis are true functional useful tools and not some frippery I was hooked.

   I am Joey, and I've been collecting Swiss Army knives since I got one for Christmas when I was 10 years old. About a year ago, I felt the need for a full-sized pair of pliers, and locking blades, so, naturally, I got a SwissTool (this was before I paid attention to anything besides Victorinox). I loved that thing to death (and still do!), but about a month before going back to work, I decided to get a Leatherman Wave, mainly for its one-handed blades. I liked it, and eventually got a Charge, and a bunch of earlier Leathermans (PST, ST200, etc.). About two months ago, I branched out to Gerber, with a Nautilus and a yellow MP600. Most recently, having decided to try tools from all the major companies, I purchased a Powerlock.
   I play the B flat trumpet (with piston valves) and I enjoy long walks on the beach.

Hi, my name's Luke, and I have a problem. Well, more than one, but we won't get into that right now... :D

I live in Pennsylvania dutch country (think Amish tourism central). I'm 24, a student, married 2.5 years, and a Multi-tool carrier for quite a while now. I don't have a huge collection, but I've used and carried them a lot in a number of situations (mostly EDC, construction(electrical), and travel). Although you'll probably figure it out on your own, I'm quite a Leatherman fan (although I appreciate all the quality brands). Years ago I got my first PST from my sisters, who found it in the snow while sledding. It mostly sat in my drawer for a long time, and I'd just pull it out when I needed a tool, but I eventually became more interested and started buying them myself.

To all the new folks: Welcome to the forum, and join right in!

Greetings and Thanks for this most excellent forum!

My name is Bill, and I have been a guitarist, guitar tech and amplifier technician for more nearly 25 years before burning out with all that. I first saw a multitool when I picked up our drummer's Leatherman PST from a speaker cabinet and used it as a slide for our version of Pink Floyd's "One of These Days..." I had never heard of a Leatherman, and in reality it makes a very mediocre slide. :-\  Still it got me through the song, so here's to Tim Leatherman! :cheers:

Now I've contracted multitool acquisition syndrome. After finding this forum yesterday, I'm glad to meet others who share my problem.

My best wishes to all you members. Regards, Bill.

Hello All,

I guess later is better than never.  My name is Mike and my fascination with multitools started with the original Leatherman Wave.  At the time, I was working for a computer animation company helping them set up for trade shows and other clients.  At my first show, I realized that I didn't have any tools on me and that night bought myself a Wave.  Since then, I have a growing collection of multitools.  Thanks to this site I now have a growing collection of multitools, knives, and swiss army knives.  I can quit at any time-I just don't want to.

About time i said hello. I'm Ian from the UK, I already know a couple of you from British Blades ('Ullo Mike  :)).

I've not got too many multitools at present - an old Wave, Juice CS4, Gerber Multi-lite - but I have been known to hoard the odd SAK, this week it's a red Alox Pioneer & a Scientist. I've also got a sinking feeling that I'm going to start collecting Atwood tools which means I'll be skint forever...

Anyhoo, nice to be on board  :D

If you're ever out there look for a big bloke with glasses, dripping with Maxpedition stuff & annoying people with the blowing exhaust on his bike. Probably with a fag in one hand and an adder in the other  :D

I'd be up for a meet upif one was going begging. Blimey, I though you were all septics on this site...  >:D

Welcome aborad....no we're not all septics....some of us might smell a bit more than others though :D When I saw your ID,I thought you may have been a septic with a Southern accent...yellowhammers are the state bird of Alabama.

Once you've done a 100 posts, you'll be a full member and get an additional couple of stars, to get the magical mystical 5th star you've got to get 500 posts, which if you've got no life can be done in about a week :D

I've been thinking about this and the more I do the more I think it's a BAD idea.   :police:

On most forums there is a huge list of rules which govern what you can and can't post, and in most of them there is the rule basically stating that "any posts deemed to be simply posted to up your post count can be removed by the moderator". 

Def has been really good to us here and is quite layed back in his rule making as we generally all know what is and what is not aceptable.

I am just concerned that such a thread would be used to simply bump up a members post count (have seen this done many times before) and very little input or feedback of multitools will occur.


Just my 2 cents (or pennies  :D) anyway.

One of the reasons we've done them in the past is to have sort of a chat room like conversation, only with F5! We would talk about everything under the sun, home, work, play and it's a good way to learn about people/new friends and keep things going. I've always liked the idea of death chats and have discouraged anything in them not following forum rules.

I hate sites that are too hard to read or take ages to load because of banners, popups and other imbecilic things.  I try to keep the ads here pretty low key, and we work with the advertisers to do more involved promotional things rather than just stick up a banner and ignore each other until it's time to renew.

Dealers get much more out of a relationship with the community than they ever will with flashy and obnoxious ads that piss people off.

G'day blokes and blokettes, just spent an hour or so reading the forums and thought I might join up to say howdy.

I'm a bit new meself to this Multitool game.

My first "Multi Tool" was a Sailors knife of the Folding Blade and Marlin Spike variety back when I was knee high to a duck(Edit: Wait, my first multitool was probably a Screwdriver/Shackle Key combo), I've gone through a variety of Wenger, Victorinox, and Imitation folding tools since then.

In the last few years I've "Graduated" to the Plier-style multi-tool, with PST Imitations of varying quality
I recently acquired a Leatherman "Core" (After much indecision between the Famous Leatherman option and the Swisstool from a company that has served me well over the years*)

Despite having a "Genuine" LM, my "EDC" conists of a yachtsmans knife (I like having a blade without a sharp tip for safer use in general cutting applications) and a Bahco Multitool  - This is partially because I like the Cork Screw, and partially because I am too nancy to risk losing my Leatherman

If/When my current Knife is lost/damaged beyond use, I'm thinking to get a Victorinox Nomad** - The same features as the original "Soldier" Model with a Locking blade (a must!) and a corkscrew.
I have a VSAK "Climber" - and while the Hook is surprisingly useful, I rarely carry it as it is not slim enough to comfortably have in my pocket.

*The deciding factor was one of $$$, given the choice as a gift, I probably would have gone SwissTool.

**The name being a mere curiousity.

Well, it's 1-am so I'm off, I look forward to spending some more time here and reading more of these excellent tool-reviews!

I sell Leatherman, so it was also just real convenient to grab one out of the case.

Despite routine abuse off knockoff Multitools (Which I like to think epitomise the laziness of the modern man. Why should I have to walk all the way to my shed/on board tool drawer when I can do a half arsed job with what is in my pocket) I don't have much in the way of particularly heroic or ingenious stories.

Guess what, i've posted in this thread but not actually done my little intro thing....oooops!

Well better late than never (why do lecturers never agree with that philosophy!) I'm Ryan aged 21, born and raised in Yorkshire, UK, currently attending Loughborough Uni, studying Mechanical Engineering.
Brief history of my addiction:
Got my first SAK at around 11/12 but lost it somewhere on a beach in Scotland.
Intervening period had a multitude of cheap sak/pst knockoffs, and knew none of them were any good.
Got a SAK climber for my 17th (i think) birthday and was immensely happy.
Then when i was 18 i bought myself a Gerber MP600, Swisstool and a Leatherman Wave all in the space of about 4 months, and the addiction took hold!

I like to get outside and go Cycling (both on and off road) walking and camping. Seem to have an affinity for making stuff go boom (like the time we made a pulse jet in my mates back yard....that was safe!). I love listening to music and play guitar. Technology fascinates me and hence my room looks like the terminator has just blown up and left bits of himself hanging around. And food, i like food, in vast quantities...i love my metabolism!

Well thats the thread dragged kicking and screaming back on topic....my work here is done!

Not a clue really! I really need to start figuring that out, or at least narrow it down to a few options.

Amazingly it never destroyed itself, however we only managed to get it going for over 5secs once, although it did run for a couple of minutes that time, then the fuel ran out. We were as amazed as anyone we managed to do it!

I am really impressed mate, the nazi's tried to use pulsejets in manned aircraft, but the vibration was so intense, it made all the test pilot's violently sick :o, thats why they only used it operationally in the V1 :)

if you like pulse jets you could do worse than check this site out :)

Hi all, just thought I'd post on this newbie thread to say hello. I've been reading for a while, joined (a couple weeks ago) and posted today for the first time.

I mentioned on another thread about a give-away I will be starting soon. i am looking for ideas on how to do this, so please chime in.

I am 49 years old and have been carrying around stuffed pockets and loaded belts my whole life.

Currently it's just me and my two collies (Seven, a three year old sable and Binger, an eight month old female blue merle) living on 15 acres outside the small central Virginian town of Mineral.

I'll be telling about and showing some of my toys soon.

BTW, how do you get those cool icons into your posts and is there a place to donate to help fund the Forum?

As much as this is a multitool site, I'd actually love to see a picture of those dogs!

Most folks around here have opted for the more manageable sized Shelties rather than the full sized collies and I've always been fascinated by them. 

Interestingly enough, the only time I've ever been seriously bitten was by a collie, but that never got in the way of being good friends with the dog and the owners!

Welcome to the forum Calvin- I am glad that you are enjoying the site.  We try hard to make it worth checking out, and we are a little lax rules, thread drift etc, but that's what makes the place fun to be around.  Oh yeah, that and the top notch folk we have hanging around!

You hit my soft spot Def, asking about my collies. Every since I was a kid my brother and I have always owned collies.  :)

Let me get it together with my cameras and I will post some pics of Seven & Binger, along of course with my toys.

Thanks to micky d for sending me the link to the picture posting tutorial. i just need the time, overtime at work is killing me!

I can relate to your dog bite story. My worst dog bite was also by a collie. My own collie! I was trying to break up a fight between him and another dog and during the melee he whirled around and chomped on a finger, severing the nerve. I had to have surgery and to this day don't have full use of that finger. Talk about a lasting memory! His name was Kaiser and was a great dog. i really miss him.

Calvin
Title: Re: Welcome to Multitool.Org!
Post by: Grant Lamontagne on December 09, 2007, 09:20:21 AM
I think the bite I got was because the dog panicked.  I followed him into the kitchen and when he turned around I was blocking the way out.  I'd never had a problem with him before or since (he's long gone now) and that's about the only thing I can think of that might have caused him to bite.  Of course, that was about 25 years ago so my memory may not be as crystal clear as it could be.

I'm owned by a Siberian Husky at the moment, and up until last year I also had a dogo argentino or Argentine Mastiff, but he passed away after a bout with liver cancer.  As much as I love my husky, the dogo was the best dog I've ever met, and being a crazy dog guy, I've met lots of them!  My avatar is a drawing of a dogo, and I have it to honor all Pete and I went through.  I know what you mean when you say you miss Kaiser.  All dogs are great, but some just defy description, don't they?

Def, when you say you are currently owned by your Siberian Husky, I feel the same way. Like the old saying goes "Truer words was never spoke". My dogs have it so easy that I guess boredom (I work almost every day, so I'm gone a lot) is their only problem. That's why I got the "Binger" (female) so Seven (male) would have someone to play with while I'm gone. Boy is he still jealous when I get home and she wants to greet me at the same time!  :ahhh

I want to get one of those signs that reads "&%$? THE DOG, BEWARE OF OWNER!"  He is a great dog, but huskies are terrible watchdogs.  They pretty well don't care what goes on around them provided you don't steal their toys, food or the stretch of rug they are sleeping on.

He was a great companion to my other dog because Pete was a great watchdog, and Chinook would always back him up.  Chinook won't guard by himself, but he'd also never get left behind when Pete was doing something!

That's a great system, both doing what they do best.

At my house Seven will bark at a strange twig the wind has blown onto the lawn and Binger just follows him around barking also.

You know if i was'nt such a Collie nut, a Husky would be my next choice. Beautiful dogs

Title: Re: Welcome to Multitool.Org!
Post by: Grant Lamontagne on December 09, 2007, 08:40:20 PM
They are great dogs, but as I've said before, they aren't very dog-like.  Typical husky traits are about as far from collies as you can get in the canine world.  Huskies are very independent and act more like cats than dogs.  They eat any animals smaller than them (except other dogs- they are exempt from the menu, but cats, birds, frogs, lizards, mice, squirrels etc are all in deep trouble!) they only follow commands when they feel like it, pay attention to you when they want something, and pester you until they get it!  The worst thing is, you can't let them off the leash.  Huskies are runners- that's what they love to do, and they don't pay attention to where they are going so can be easily run over, and even if they don't get squashed, they don't know their way home.

For thousands of years people have been commenting on how beautiful this breed is, and it's certainly gone to their heads!

Well thats not my dog, just and example of the breed of dog I had to put down :(, her name was shona, and she was the fastest, smartest, strongest, toughest dog I ever owned, she was the perfect dog, but then her personality would flip, and all her qualities became big scary problems, (I've still got a few scares from where I just wasn't quite fast enough ::)), gone but not forgotten :)

Hello, my name is ducktapehero and I'm addicted to multi-tools. Well I must admit I'm addicted to knives in general but multi-tools hold a special place in my heart. My 1st exposure to multi-tools came from a Leatherman PST in the military in the early 90's. The original one.

Since then I've owned several Swiss Army Knives, a Spyderco and a few other things but I always had a Leatherman somewhere near. And as much as I like the other knives it seems when the doo-doo gets deep I grab the trusty Leatherman. I look forward to contributing to this forum.

No, after I got out I gave that one to my Dad and bought a new one. I was in my early 20's and "sentimental" things weren't on my mind. But I wish I had it now. My Dad isn't sure where it is, he might have given it to my brother. After the new year I may start the hunt for it to see if I can track it down. If I can I may frame it with some of my awards and discharge papers. Or I may put it in my junk drawer and put it back to work. Although it was pretty worn out by the time I got out of the military. I was mechanized Infantry so it got a LOT of work messing around with those Bradley's.

Right now I have a LM Kick now that is my usual one I turn to if I need a multi-tool. I also have a couple of Juice's, a black Mini-tool, an SOG Cross Cut, an SOG Powerlock, a LM Supertool 200, a Schrade tough Chip, a basic Swiss Tech keychain pliers, and I have 3 Gerber Solstice's in the mail to me. I help my wife teach a youth group at church and there's 2 boys that have really stepped up to the plate this year and helped us with stuff. I'm giving each one of them one of those and, of course, keeping one for myself. I also have about 10 Swiss Army Knives around here too. None of these are used very hard anymore. My "adventure" days are over, now they do mundane things like put together Xmas toys and the occasional "honey-do" around the house.  :multi:


I THINK that's all the multi-tools I have right now. I've owned some other ones that I've either lost, given away or just flat out broke.

As much as this is a multitool site, I'd actually love to see a picture of those dogs!

Most folks around here have opted for the more manageable sized Shelties rather than the full sized collies and I've always been fascinated by them. 

Interestingly enough, the only time I've ever been seriously bitten was by a collie, but that never got in the way of being good friends with the dog and the owners!

Welcome to the forum Calvin- I am glad that you are enjoying the site.  We try hard to make it worth checking out, and we are a little lax rules, thread drift etc, but that's what makes the place fun to be around.  Oh yeah, that and the top notch folk we have hanging around!

Those are some pics taken in June about a month after getting Binger. I'll take some new ones as you can guess, although still a puppy, she is about full grown.

Here are two more old pics, one of my big boy Seven (his birthday was yesterday, he's 3) and another of my little girl Binger when she was still tiny.

Been posting a while though I'd do the obligatory introduction. Not sure what I should say,let's see. I grew up in a machine shop so I've been around tools all my life,dealt with a lot of 'em. I've done a lot of different jobs ,cnc operator,computer tech,hog farm worker,and customer service rep. I'm a strong believer in versatility and improvisation.
         My hobbies are reading,fiddling w/ computers,knives,guns,reloading my own ammo(I have a Dillon 650),and of late multi-tools. I started with a cheapo multi-tool that I beat to death,it saved me a lot of grief a couple times. I had to retire it when it got too bent to work anymore. Currently have a couple Gerber MP600's and a Vic Spirit on order.
       I'm between jobs,single (looking for a sweet oriental girl to walk on my back),have 2 cats,2 computers ,lots of guns and books. Thanks for the warm welcome.

Likewise, Bizarro Louis is a hot-ass skank with ink and piercings, and probably a crack addition.

Hi Calvin

Many thanks for the welcome.!  :D

Its a pleasure to be part of this forum and I will contribute wherever and whenever I can.

My first hobby is watches, in the past 3 years I must have had over 50 that have come and go...  8)

My second hobby is custom lanyards... I love making the stuff... creating new pieces and also trying to learn from the other paracord gurus.  I see Dave (Stormdrane) is also a member here - for those of you who do not know of him, Stormdrane is considered the Jedi Master of lanyards - he has got to be the best in the business, and a true gent.!

The main reason why I sort of crossed from watches to lanyards is that watches can become an expensive hobby, be warned   :D  ;)  I will post a few snaps of my watches in one of the fora.

My tag is "deano42" and its the same on all of the other forums, TZ-UK, SCWF, USN, EDCForums etc etc, so you can see my work there and also see the reputation I have gained on the other sites.

I did a number of custom lanyard pieces for Calvin for the give-away, he mentioned about this forum and I decided to join.

Here are a few pixs of my work:

Looking forward to sharing my knowledge and also gaining some knowledge along the way.

Thanks

I love them for their indestructibility, but they're a bit huge and clunky for slinging a multi from.

Quick run to the hills.!   ;) :D

Yes its a 50mm, good for a larger lanyard...

...for slinging a multi I would go for the "mini gate snap" or small "mcgizmo" (in pix top right), far less bulky:

Hi Nomad

Thanks for the link, there are a number of other sites that manufacture these type of clips, but unless you are "in the trade" its hard to convince these people to sell to Joe public.   >:(

If you know of anyone that sells straight to people like us PM me, I would love to find a more direct (and cheaper) option.

Thought I'd chime in here and introduce myself as well.  I live in Yorktown, Virginia, now, but I grew up in Jonesville, MI, about half hour west of 665ae.  Also went to J-sews' town of Traverse City several times as a kid, but I never cared for the snow or cold, so I like it much better down south here.  I'm an engineer with the company that builds aircraft carriers and submarines.  I don't know nearly as much about the various multitools as y'all obviously do, but I do like tools (not just multis), hence the name, which I get called occasionally by friends (especially when they need me to fix something!).

I carried a Gerber back when I was in the Navy.  Once I got out, I lost track of it and didn't carry anything for awhile.  I then had a Micra on my keyring for a couple of years and used it often, but lost it.  Then a couple of years ago, I picked up a Wave and have been carrying it ever since.  I couldn't leave the house without it now (don't hardly go around in the house without it).  I made a bit holder to fit the bit adapter and carry a full set of regular 1/4" bits to go along with it as well as a ratchet and extension.

I know that numb wallet feeling as well.  Funny how that Wave has been plenty for me for the past couple of years, but since I've been hanging out here (basically since Christmas), I've suddenly had the need to invest in several more multis (that I'll probably never carry regularly)!  I now have a Crosscut, a PST, a Surge, and a Swisstool on the way, as well as some Micras that I'll probably hand out for gifts, and am on the lookout for a Spirit.  Thanks a lot, guys :)  Seriously, though, thanks for some good info.  I've learned a lot and plan to continue reading and participating whereever I can.  Still getting used to this "mate" thing though ;)

Many of us didn't know much about multitools when we started here either, so don't worry about it!  You'll pick it all up sooner or later!

When I started this site less than two years ago I thought I was the only multitool collector in the world, and figured that with about 25 multis, I probably had more than anyone else!  This site has been a very humbling experience for me, but I wouldn't trade it for anything!

it's a place in South Haven MI. It is the best Ice Cream I have ever had, and I'm from Chicago
where they have tons of the joints. If you go, notice the license plates from all over the country
in the parking lot. They should open in a month or two, take the kids and the neighbors kids, they'll
remember it forever.

Well, seein' as how I live in Virginia now, it would be a pretty long road trip, but it sounds like the ice cream's worth it :)  We used to go to South Haven a lot when I was a kid, so maybe I have been but just don't remember it.  I've still got family up there, so if I get back sometime and happen to get over that way, I'll be sure to stop in.

and they have the biggest cones ever! the triple scoop or such, you'll see.

Thanks for the kind welcome :)

Well, I have about 14 multitools, nothing too fancy.  I just posted my collection photos HERE (http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,4090.0.html).

My favorites right now would have to be my Gerber Clutch, LM Micra and LM Squirt P4.  The P4 is new and I had not taken photos of it just yet.

Strange thing is that I never considered tools like SAK's to be multitools until just recently.  I'm not sure why I thought like that...

Multitools that I look forward to someday having would be: LM Wave, LM Xe6, SOG PowerLock, Gerber Flik (I like this one especially after reading a review of it here on your forum).

There are plenty of older tools that I am interested in too.

Yes, my pockets are bulging, but sadly not with cash ;)

Hello,  My name is Dennis, from W. central Ohio. I finally joined after lurking for a month or so.  I found this site while looking for info on a possible new tool purchase.  Love the reviews .
  I have several MTs but have mostly carried a Gerber blunt nose 600 for the last several years until recently. Lately I have been carrying a Freehand. I have mostly Gerbers, and a couple Leathermans. Plus I have a Sog on order. Would also Like to try a Vic  when finances allow.
  My main hobby is antique Wheel Horse garden tractors(collecting,trading,restoring). thats what my MTs get used for the most during the warm months of the year .              I think thats enough for now. I dont usually talk this much. But I have really been enjoying this site and forum.  Thanks,

Dennis

Post by: Grant Lamontagne on March 20, 2008, 02:25:32 PM
That's fascinating- I always thought that the blunt nosed models were more useful than the semi-needle nosed models that are more commonly available from every brand.  One of the reasons I've always been such a fan of the SwissGrip is because it's a blunt nose.  With the older Gerbers like the MP600 it makes more sense since the plier tips don't stick out the end like the needle nose variants do.

Another thing I find fascinating is not only hearing what tools people prefer, but also the vast number of things that folks use multitools for on a regular basis!  Antique tractors are a new one around here, but we do have a pretty broad range of uses with other members.  Half the fun isn't in what tool someone uses, so much as what it's used for!

Glad to have you aboard and thanks for taking the time to register and say Hi!

Hello All,

I really like your forum!!! I joined about 8 months ago. I used to drop in now and then untill I saw Defs video with the green handled Charge. I followed it back here to see who made it and I've been here a lot more since then.

I'm the same Hoghead as on CPF & EDC. I'm an engineer on the railroad. Not the kind of engineer that knows stuff, I'm just the guy that runs the engine (AKA: drives the train).

I like guns, knives, lights & multi-tools. I'm not allowed to take guns to work, but the rest of the tools get used on and around the engines for everything from changing light bulbs, headlights, ditchlights to opening cabnets that are bolted shut, changing out air hose gaskets and cutting wire, etc.

I think my first multi-tool was a Gerber. I'm not sure what model it is, but it's still in my grip. I liked it when it was all that I had. It is still serviceable, but it's a little worse for wear especially where I used the file with the flint on a magnesium firestarter, it works great for that by the way. I bought a few more Gerbers, but I didn't like them and never found one that had the same tools as my old one so I gave them away. I'll have to get some of the new models and give Gerber another chance.

At some point early on I got a Leatherman Pulse and that was my favorite until I got a Wave. Then things progressed pretty rapidly from that point.

My favorite multi-tools are the Leatherman Charge Ti in BO, BO Wave and BO Spirit S. I EDC the Charge and a Micra.

I can't take any pictures because I don't have a digital camera because I spend my money on tools, lights, knives etc. My wife wants to get a camera to take pictures of the quilts she makes, so maybe in the future. Here's a list of some of my multi-tools.
Swiss Tool standard
Swiss Tool standard BO
Spirit S BO
Surge
Surge BO
Core
Core BO
Charge Ti
Charge Ti BO
Wave
Wave BO
Blast BO
Fuse BO
Kick
Kick BO
Crunch
Supertool BO
Pulse
Sideclip
Skeletool
XE6

There might be more, but these are the ones that come to mind. I bought 2 Spirits when they first came out. My wife took one for her EDC right away. She lost it out of her purse and reciently took the other one. I guess I'll have to get some more. I can just add it to the list of tools I want.

Thanks for such a friendly forum.

Welcome to the forum mate, (although I've already said that :D) you'll fit in just fine with that tool line up mate :)

So what sort of engine do you drive mate, diesel or electric ???

Post by: Hoghead on March 27, 2008, 10:50:50 PM
So what sort of engine do you drive mate, diesel or electric ???

That's almost a trick question. They are diesel electric locomotives. A diesel engine powers an electric generator that powers the traction motors. The traction motors have a winding like a fan except they are about the size of a VW bug with the roof cut off. Each set of trucks (set of axels) has a traction motor, each engine has two traction motors.

The short answer is diesel. :D Sorry, I don't know what gets into me sometimes.  :D

So what sort of engine do you drive mate, diesel or electric ???

That's almost a trick question. They are diesel electric locomotives. A diesel engine powers an electric generator that powers the traction motors. The traction motors have a winding like a fan except they are about the size of a VW bug with the roof cut off. Each set of trucks (set of axels) has a traction motor, each engine has two traction motors.

The short answer is diesel. :D Sorry, I don't know what gets into me sometimes.  :D
Sorry, I should have pointed out that I quite like my Loco's ::), I know most of the US is still predominatly Diesel, I just wondered what sort you were driving mate :)

I studied engineering for three years in college until I found out it had nothing to do with trains....   :ahhh

That's an impressive list you have going there- watch yourself as this place causes them to multiply! :D

Def

I'd like it if they would multiply especially if it could be done without having to pay for them. I suppose the doctor would charge more for the delivery fees than it would cost just to buy them.

I love trains too- the last train trip I took, the engine broke down in the middle of nowhere and they couldn't troubleshoot it on the spot, so another engine had to come out, hook up and pull us to the next station, where we got yet another engine to finish the trip.  A six hour ride ended up taking almost 14 all told, and I was about the only one who was happy as a clam!

Apart from cycling it's the only way I get around these day's, although the prices are a little scary, it cost me £9 to do about a 40 miles journey last week, still cheaper than going by car, but hardly cheap either :-\

Sorry if I came across as rude. I just have a warped sence of humor.

The short answer is all of them. The long answer is:

I've run all but 2 types of diesel engines that have been used in the US. There were 2 models of the really old/early engines that I've never seen. One of them was a switch engine and I don't remember what the other one was. I wouldn't know that except I saw a program on the History channel about it and that's when I realized that I had run all but 2.

I've been on the railroad since 1977. As a matter of fact I've probably run almost every engine that the Chicago & NorthWestern and the Uninion Pacific own. We don't have engines assigned to us. The engines/trains are run through terminals with only a crew change. For the past two years I've been on a job that hostles engines (moves them around & switch out the ones we want) and air tests trains to get them ready for the road crews. Before that I mostly worked over the road.

When I started we were using GP7, GP9 and SD18 that had 1200 to 1500 horsepower up to the SD40-2 & SD45. The new engines have 4000 plus, SD70MAC etc. I'd have to look in my books to see all of the model numbers. The lowest horsepower engines that they use on road trains now are the EMD 40-2 at 3000 horsepower. The 40-2 has been the most popular engine with engineers since I've been on the railroad, but they are getting a little long in the tooth now.

I hope that made up for my smart a$$ attempt at humor.  :D

Sorry, no Busse's. Oh so sorry. Some day maybe. It looks like my money is already spent for the next few months. I'm buying knives/tools for my grandsons.

One or maybe two are going to get this Benchmade Bali-Song Morpho

Another wants this Woodman's Pal

Greetings fellow Multitoolers! Just signed up - I'm from South Wales, UK, and am tempted by either Cybertool or Swisstool Spirit to replace the wife, as her teeth have become a bit blunt now, and she struggles to open tins, cut wire or unscrew posi-drive screws. I have a 9 month old daughter, which means my wife has lost her ability to open bottles too.

I have tried many a "piece of tat" toolage to get me by, but I need guidance before I lose all my digits and/or a limb or two...!

Cheers all  :cheers:

Welcome to the forum Towser!  :cheers:

both tools would be excellent, but the pliers on the Spirit may give you (her) a little more bite!
more tools in the Cybertool, more strength in the Spirit, what may I ask would be your prime uses?

Thanks for the welcome guys - I have a feelling this forum might cost me a bit when I see all the shiney stuff!

As for my needs - I'm a machine operator in a printing firm, so a good multitool will be needed, but not too big as I would carry it around most of the time even when not in work, as I like to tinker! I'd pretty much use all the tools of the spirit, but also the small drivers of a Cybertool (for the 2,000 battery changes for my daughters toys etc). Don't know whether to get Cybertool and Spirit, or the Spirit with the ratchet tool so I can use my own 6mm bits. But then again the pen and tweezers of a Cybertool would be handy too!  ??? Now I can see why some of you guys have several of these things!  I have found the Spirit for £38 and Cybertool 34 for £26 so not too bad for both.

Of course Mrs Towser will be told they are from the pound shop...  ::)

As for what tool, we'll instead of investing in new dentures for the missus :D, I'd go for the Spirit, the cybertool is an awesome Sak, but the Spirit probably has just a bit more utility and is definatly the stronger of the two :)

explain utility boss, the regular Spirit has around 23 uses/tools (if you count the lanyard ring)

Thanks for your input guys - much apprieciated! But I think J-Sews hit the nail on the head with "When In Doubt, Buy Both!  :police: " (Any SAK with a hammer by the way?   :pok:). I guess a Spirit with a Cybertool 34 would be the most practical array of toolage - carry both in work and just the CT34 round the house.

Thanks Guys - you put my mind at rest.

And cost me £70...........  :D (But the cost of tinkering and destruction is priceless right?)

Hi there,

I'll introduce my self just as my mother told me when I'm somewere new  :) So, uhm, I'm Zepla from Holland. My native language is Dutch so excuse me if I make some spelling mistakes in English. Further details will follow down the road, I guess.

Furthermore and more interesting, I have a Leatherman New Wave and I Squird P4. I'm doing a mod on the squird at the moment that is not working out as planned. That's how I found out about this forum. And the least I can do is after reading lots of info about everything, joining the forum and perhaps I can help someone out.

Regards, Zepla

Hey!

New to the forum, not the addiction.  Gotta whole lotta MT.  PST, SuperTool (stolen), MultiPliers, MP600 with additional cable jaws and bit driver, Craftsman Pro tool (essentially Schrade ST1 with bit driver built into one handle),Kershaw multitool, SwissTool Spirit with ratchet bit driver, several versions of SAK, Skeletool, Wave, Micra, one that's a horse specific multitool (hoof pick, knife, tap, wrench to studs) and a buncha cheapos (Lowes bubble plastic stocking stuffers).

Up until the Skeletool, my EDC was still the PST, mostly due to size.  I don't like the "Batman Utility Belt" look, so pocketablility is a big one for me.  Pliers are must, followed by knife Phillips/standard screw driver.  After that, I'll take what I can get  :D.

Anyway, when I get some time, I'd be happy to post reviews on some of the tools I have.  Looks like a good site with plenty of tool geeks.

Hey, just wanted to introduce myself.  I've been checking out this site for awhile, but didn't know about the forums until Mr. Lamontagne mentioned them.  So, here I am.  I'm not as big into the SAKs as most of the people here, but I've had a love affair with LMs, Gerbers and SOGs, and a fetish for flashlights (torches) for quite some time now, along with anything discontinued or rare (but useful).  I'm absolutely thrilled to find a group of people as passionate, if not more so, about MTs and such as me.    :salute:

Welcome STik, good to have you aboard! :multi:

My name's Joel and I'm a 19 year old college student. I live in Illinois and have always been a lover of guns, knives, tools, etc. I'm working my way through school as a bus mechanic which means I'm exposed to a lot of different tools and opinions on what makes a good tool as well as a lot of different uses for different tools. I love to design and think of new ways to do things. This forum is great and I hope to continue to discuss things with people on here.   :)

Greetings all! Where to start? Well, I live in Tampa, Florida and go by the name Grimm.
I have always loved knives and weapons in general. Pistols, cannons, swords, flails...it doesn't matter. I've been carring a pocket knife since I can remember starting with an old timer my dad gave me. Suffering from the male chromosome I also love gadgets so SAK's and multi tools just fell in step as I got older.
Currently I have 9 multi tools, 4 atwoods, 4 SAKs and a drawer full of knives...
Gotta work on more SAKs, but its hard to do with the misses ;)
Anyways, see ya'll around

Newbe reporting in. Hi all, greetings from paradise, Guam.  your forum is great, I was just looking over the Wave mod topics and got some ideas. thanks. Now i need to see if that short blade will fit to replace the scissors.
i'm a bit of a collector of multitools, I "edc" a wave, micra, SOG crossgrip, and have a cold steel voyager in my bag.
This is going to be a great forum to dig thru.

Hey everybody! My name is Shane, and I'm, you guessed it, new here. I'm a full time student for the school year here at the UNBC, "studying" Outdoor Rec. and Conservation. I had a long time love of knives, and that progressed quite easily to multitools. I have always had a small SAK when I was growing up, but finally got my first multitool in December, a Leatherman Skeletool CX. Love it, looking for more... so I guess I caught MAS!

Hey everybody! My name is Shane, and I'm, you guessed it, new here. I'm a full time student for the school year here at the UNBC, "studying" Outdoor Rec. and Conservation. I had a long time love of knives, and that progressed quite easily to multitools. I have always had a small SAK when I was growing up, but finally got my first multitool in December, a Leatherman Skeletool CX. Love it, looking for more... so I guess I caught MAS!

Well that's me, I hope to get to know you guys better, and get to know tools better too.


Studying Outdoor Rec. and Conservation???!! Where can I get a job like that? :ahhh



Greetings Shane! :D

Hi guys my names Mike.  I've been a Soldier in the NZ Army for the last 10 years, had a few pleasant trips overseas to meet interesting people in interesting places and have them throw rocks, petrol bombs and other objects at me.  I currently use an Aussie NSN Swiss tool that a mate gave me after I broke my third Gerber tool.  It's still kicking after 3 years so I'm quite impressed with it.  I have my eye on the SOG EOD power tool so if anyone has used it for dems their feedback would be most appreciated.

Cheers

Hi there Disturbed - nice to have you!

Although I don't have one myself, the EOD SOG tool does have a lot of fans on here, I'm sure they'll be along with their thoughts soon enough!

Post by: Mr. Whippy on October 26, 2009, 12:18:55 AM
Welcome!  My opinion of SOG tools are that the pliers are the best, I like the V cutter but many of the other tools aren't of the same quality as Swiss or Leatherman

Hey folks, Mike here, US Army veteran, served for almost 11 years.

Bought a SOG Powerplier in Korea in '93 after having lost several Leatherman's and still have it. Somewhat of a lucky charm now. I have several other pocket knives that rotate around, the usual swiss army knife stays in the car, a couple Benchmade auto's, Spiderco's etc. nothing too fancy.

I'm also a big Peter Atwood fan and own several of his tools.

I'm looking at getting into some knife/tool making but still getting my workshop in order. I dabbled with it in my younger years but never seriously. For the last few weeks, I've been working on a waste oil burner which I will use in building my forge, and just got a lead on an anvil this weekend hopefully that will pan out.

Looks like a lot of good info here I'll probably do more reading than posting to start but will contribute where I can.

oops had to edit it's a powerpiler not multiplier.

Hello guys,

I'm new here but I saw it's a very, very nice forum, congratulations for all of you! I'm brazilian, so my english isn't very good, sorry for the mistakes :D...
I have a pocket knife that I really like (single blade), made by a brazilian local manufacture, a traditional Victorinox knife :tool:, a swiss-card that I EDC and now I'm looking for a Victorinox Spirit :multi: that I'll probably buy soon to EDC with my swiss-card. Also, I really like other ones, like Leatherman Charge and Skeletool, Victorinox Soldier Knife, Rescue Tool...

See you!

Hello from another newbie
I have been lurking for a few weeks and joined a few days ago,
I don't need an EDC as I normally have my toolbox in the car or van but I do like all kinds of toys tools
Until looking on here I didn't realise how many things I really needed!
I already have an order (and a wish list) in the pipeline from Heinnie Haynes  :ahhh

Its a very slippery slope! :rant:

I have just spent a happy but confused hour looking through loads of tool boxes, draws and bits boxes all over the house and garage,
Found things I've not seen for years,
Lots of cleaning, adjusting and sharpening needed  :-[

There's a couple of axes somewhere, a new cheap one and an old one that needs a new handle

The red one (Sak?) was my first ever knife that I used to carry everywhere (even school)
I will ask my Mum how old I was when they gave it to me
The wood handled one is an 'electricians' knife that was a gift but never been used in anger

(they were on special around Nov last year (7 or 8 quid)

I made these two when I was about 22,
The large knife is made from a machine hacksaw blade,
I had some help with the brass bit
(can't remember  the right name for it at the min :ahhh) ,hilt,
 its a very sharp knife but I guess it might be a bit brittle,
The small one is a fruit knife I made from a broken penknife

Thanks for the pics Sparky.

You have something a little bit unusual there I think. Can you check and see if it has date codes inside the handles, and also it would be nice to hear what is stamped on the blade tang. :)

Post by: Sparky415 on February 06, 2010, 10:05:05 AM

There's some small letters that look like ummmm yes it say MING DINASTY  :rofl:


I can't find anything inside the handles, 
On the blade it says Leatherman
                                  USA

On the outside of the handle it says

                    LEATHERMAN* TOOL
US REG TM 1325473           PORTLAND OR
Title: Re: Welcome to Multitool.Org!
Post by: DaveK on February 06, 2010, 12:33:58 PM
Well, as Poncho says, I woudl have expected to see "USA" on the pliers, opposite where it says "LEATHERMAN", so it looks like you've got yourself a nice collectable piece there  :cheers:

Which of the following best fits the shape of the blade on it Sparky? I'm guessing the middle one:

Do you happen to know if your parents bought it new?
Title: Re: Welcome to Multitool.Org!
Post by: Sparky415 on February 06, 2010, 01:50:21 PM
Yes it was new when it was given to me about 27(ish) years ago
It looks like the middle one  :tu:

Post by: DaveK on February 06, 2010, 02:09:25 PM
Hmmmm  :-[

I'm thinking maybe a somewhere between 20 and 25 years ago. The tool hasn't been available for quite 27 years yet, and we know that the really early models were a bit different. I'm guessing somewhere around 1985 - 1989 perhaps.....

Thank you all  :)
I'm so happy here and meet all of you from many country. I am a fans of Leatherman MT, especially PST, Wave and Charge series, but i just have a little :D , cause it's too hard for us in Indonesia to find the Leatherman MT in a good price. Leatherman MT (and also other branded MT like Victorinox, SOG, Gerber and other) are very expensive for the prices   :-[...  
So i will collect it first and i hope i can post the picture with my little collections :)
Nice to see you all.... Have a nice day!

That makes more sense. It is a bit unusual to see that plier head connected to those handles (with the metric measurements). If you ever wish to part with it - drop me a pm ;)

Hello everyone!  I am new to the forum.  After listening to Graysonk talk about it for so long, I had to come and see for myself.  Hi all!  This is Kim, Graysonk's partner. :)  While I certainly am not as fanatical as Kelly, I do really enjoy the multitools and swiss army knives I've stolen from her.  So I thought it was about time I learned a little bit more.  And according to Kelly, this is the best place to do that. :)  Plus I am kind of curious to find out what makes her laugh so much when she is reading the forum.  LOL!  I look forward to learning more about tools, SAK's and everything in between.

Hello everybody, my name is [edit] and I'm [edit] years old. I currently live in [edit]. I been collecting SAK off-again-on-again for around two years. My current collection consists of a Hunter green Cadet (from Target) a Wenger (not sure what the model is; hopefully someone will help me figure that out in the future ;) ) and a Recruit that I just bought today! I'm also a collector and/or fan of Zippos, coins, radio (GMRS, Ham), flashlights, and a lesser degree airsoft and firearms and much more!

Thanks, my friend!

The Wenger has the same tools as the Hiker (or Tinker with saw) but with serrated large blade.

I'll go into greater detail about it and maybe even a picture on the thread I'll create later on the Swiss forum, if I have time.

Sorry, I am not the right person regarding Wenger SAKs, but you can post your questio over in the Swiss Forum. There are lots of great people over there who can help you!
Thanks for the help.

I'm pretty sure if I have time later I'll created a thread at the Swiss forum.

But for now I need my beauty sleep :D

Talk to you later!

Hello people, My name is Macário, I'm from Brazil, live in the capital, in a district called Taguatinga, I'm a big fan of multitool (Leatherman mainly) and motorcycles, have a Leatherman Core which cost me about $ 300.00 dollars  :cry:. I am here to learn from you, sorry for writing wrong but I'm still learning English.

I thought that multitools were expensive over here, but they are cheap compared to that  :ahhh
You will have to learn to buy online, that will save you a lot of money (or at least you will get a lot more for your money...)

Excuse me notg introducing myself earlier... I'll do it now...

I'm Gojkan Stojinovic (don't even try to break your tongue over this) from Zrenjanin Serbia (Vojvodina to be precise) it's a small town (by all standards) aprox 80km - 50 miles north of capital Belgrade... Have 38yo, married for 9 years and have two childrens. I work in metal scrap business, but speSmurfpillsed in demolition of metal constructions over 3m - 10 feet and I'm a demolition site manager...

I've been  :drool: over SAK since my early days in Scout's, but back then you could not buy a SAK here so easy. So what I had was mostly ripoff's, or more or less decent local producer folders... After that I had other things in my mind during 90's, but allways kept SAK as a must have thing. Then came Y2K, Igot married, and had some other issues on my mind, but still secretly admired to SAK's...

At last after all this years in anticipation i've decided to treat myself for all of those years waiting, so I got:

1. Buck X-Tract Fin
2. SAK SC
3. Gerber Shard
4. Peanut Lighter
5. Fauxton's
6. Keychain ball point
7. Pill fob
8. ST Spirit (on the way)

Next step's would be:

- Spiderco Tenacious
- 4Sevens Quark 123 (or 123x2) R5
- Cybertool 34
- SAK Sentinel
- LM's PS4 and Charge TTi

......... neverending story.......

I'm not a collector, I'm hedonist, and beeing one means that I dont like to be unprepared and get myself in situation I can't handle, I like good ratio of price for quality, I like my tools to be usefull and versatile....

Well being a mechanical engineer you know what I mean...

Hello. 

I'm in Mundelein, Illinois, USA.  Eagle Scout, U of IL grad, married, retired Il Army National Guard, father, BSA Unit Commissioner (in that order for the most part)

I like/do: Scouting, Rugby, Archaeology, Writing fiction (not neccessarily in that order)

Tools Owned/Used/History:
I'm currently wearing a Victorinox Classic and I own a Squirt P4 that I really like, but can't justify putting on my keychain because I found that the most common tool I use is the sciscors (so glad to see that now Leatherman has put them both in the Squirt).  I bought a full sized Gerber for when I went to Afghanistan and guess what I used most on it, the smallest screwdriver to tighten my glasses.  I don't like the Gerber (the wirecutters don't work well at all), I work in an office and the pouch is torn, so I don't wear that much at all.

Hi,
Found your forum researching the leatherman mut eod,I own a charge but needed a multi tool better suited to my job.merchant seaman,basic sailor stuff but with a bit of electrical mantainance thrown in.
The c4 punch works as a spike for undoing shackles and the cable tie cutter is a godsend.( try cutting them with your blade and then using it to cut rope).
Overall a bit on the pricey side ,but if it lasts as long as the charge has more than worth it.
Great site by the way.

I've been collecting Leathermans for a few months now, and I've learned a lot here. Strangely enough, the more I visited, the more I bought. ("I love this Surge, but it may be too heavy to EDC. The Super Tool 300 is great, and a Style CS would really compliment it. Ooooh! Look at those Charges.")

It's a sickness.

Wow, thought I had posted here.  Guess not.  Or my search is not as good as it once was.  Name is Chris, I go by Revs.  First got into carrying a multitool back when the original Leatherman PST came out.  Still have that one.  Before that, dad and grandad had me carrying a folder and pair of pliers while farming from when I was about 5.  Only carried the pliers when I was "helping" them.  Which as we all know a 5 year old can really help. 

Still limited to the one MT, but have several folders, both locking and slip joint, that I regularly carry.  But, I did see a Kick for $20 I may be picking up.  Hmmm.... How to make the misses think I have had it for a while.....

Hello all. My name's Seth, I'm a Sophomore in high school interested in purchasing a few different kinds of multi-tools. However, I live in California, which has...strict laws regarding blades. I'm not entirely sure if those count for multi-tools, though.

I'm an avid member of NJROTC, DECA, and I have an interview later this month to work for the Mayor of my city if the application screening is a success.

I own zero multi-tools, but I'm interested in the Leatherman Juice S2 if it's legal here (the blade is about 6.2"), and I own several pocket-knives as well. Pleasure to be aboard, Gentlemen.

carry laws are nearly inexisting as in most cities in ca there is no blade lenght limit on folding or fixed blade knives. I am on my phone right now so I cant go into it right now, but when I get home I will send you some links to great info on knife laws in california.

Wow, I never posted in this thread.  I made my intro but I guess I skipped right over this one.  To date myself I guest this post is over two years late.

I am Sean from Texas, and I love Multi's and SAK's.  I joined MT.o in Feb 2010 because of a link I found to the reviews section over at EDCF.  This has been my home ever since.

My name is Matt and I'm a multi tool addict.  I have been looking for the perfect combination for years.  Today I was exploring the idea of finding someone capable of customization, which brought me here.  So if anyone is interested in being hired to customize a SAK, or put some pocket clips on various Leatherman tools please let me know, or point me in the right direction.  Looking forward to sharing my addiction.

Being a dynamic, decisive type, I've been looking at this site for some months and I finally registered as a member a couple of days ago.  I thought therefore it wouldn't be a bad idea to introduce myself a little.  I was born in Lancashire a good long time ago, own a beard, and now live in Sheffield, which seems appropriate given my addiction to sharp, shiny things.  My particular interests apart from regular, traditional slipjoints are pocket/key chain multitools (Micra, Squirt, Shortcut, sort of stuff); Swiss army knives, although I tend to like the one and two layer models as opposed to the larger versions; and I've just started in the last six months or so to get interested in one piece multitools. Thank you for reading the first of my meanderings here.

I snapped them up on eBay 2 days ago. At that stage I didn't know they were the Digger versions, only after looking at the plain black sheath  in the photo's did I start getting suspicious and thought maybe I'd been ripped but after some Googling I stumbled across some posts that spoke specifically of these stamped versions with plain sheaths. They arrived today and look great. I wonder how many there are?

Yep mate they were the ones I was chasing  :twak: :twak: :D :D , congrats mate  :tu: :tu:

As too how many were issued to the Aussie Army  :think: :think: thousands I think  :think: :think: BUT they are no longer being issued  :( the army now issues one of the worst made multi tools available , the Schrade ToughTool  >:( >:(.

In the interests of not starting a new thread, I thought I'd pop in here and say hi.

I joined at the tail end of last year after lurking for a while and have only just got round to posting anything.

I started off my love and use of multitools aged 6 when I was given my first SAK. It's got some company branding (ABCD 1946-1996, my dad got it from work but I don't know the connection to whoever ABCD are) on the main blade and is a blue Spartan-alike. It's a bit weird because I have never seen another non-translucent blue SAK and it doesn't have the scale mounted tweezers or toothpick either.

I'm a big MT fan, use my Wave every day. Thanks to some inspiration from here (Metro and others) my Wave's been a bit tweaked with the Rebar pliers, though I had to grind a bit more off the scissors than in the Black Tide, and I've removed the redundant saw to allow space for more screwdriver bit storage. The remaining Wave pliers got packaged back up in to the Rebar in a nightmarish process that I don't think I'll repeat if I did it again, to create a first Leatherman for my dad.

I'm eyeing up a Flik at the moment with the thought of re-shaping the Wharcliffe blade for a, to me, more useful shape with a decent belly.

Anyway, that's me. I'm Cupboard around various other parts of the intertubes too and thanks to your quick mods/admins now here too :)

Hi Guys,
Just found this Forum today as I was looking for pictures to see if anyone else had done what I have to their LM Charge TTi. I could not find any pictures as yet but found this forum and got caught up in reading some posts and seeing cool tools, and thought I should share my Mod to people who are interested.
I`m not just a newbie to this forum, but pretty much a newbie to forums (I`m a member of only one other)
2 questions:
 I want to add a picture of my Mod to the LM Charge TTi what thread should I post it in ? if not here.
 I just got a limited edition SAK....where should I post that pic ? also if not here.

  I should probably search through the forums here to work out where to post the pics, but as I said I`m a newbie and wanted to say G`day anyhow.

Cheers from Australia

Welcome to the forum Emil. :waving: We have quite a few OZ and NZ members here so you should feel right at home in no time.
Look around the forum, you'll see some interesting threads and feel free to join in on the discussions.


You can start a new thread about your modded Charge in the Mod squad sub-forum.
http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/board,16.0.html

As for a limited SAK, there are lots of limeted editions so I can't tell you which thread to post in. Probably in the "What's your latest SAK?" 
http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,21658.0.html

But you can browse through the Swiss forum and decide for yourself.

I never introduced myself by the way.

I am a long term SAK user, but I never had more than three at the same time until recently. All my SAKs were daily used. I am a physician, Psychiatrist and Addiction SpeSmurfpillst. Married, with two kids, 19 and 17 and I live in Greece. My residence is in Piraeus, the port of Athens.
I was going to Geneva for a business trip and I though I should get another SAK from there. Searching  in the net I found the MTO and Marios who  sold me a Swisschamp XLT and later almost half a dozen other SAKs. But I was infected by the forum spirit and here I am, half a year now, without even saying hello.


So, hello guys.

Been browsing for a while, then decided to sign up.

I'm in Lancashire. I tend not to say much, at first, and can be both blunt and random.

Err... I have 2 SAKs, at the moment: a black Spartan and an alox Farmer. I also have a fair fistful of cheapo multitools and a G/F who has a knack for picking up new ones at random...

Yeah... err... that's it, for now.  :D

Hello everyone, I'm from the Philippines and I'm a Banker. My interests include playing the piano/keys, listening to my LP collection and tinkering with my apple devices, among others.

My interest in all things multi-tool started when my dad gave me my first swiss knife when i was still a kid. Suffice it to say that that SAK got stolen at school. A few years later, i was given a SAK champ. That knife has seen better days, but I still use it to this day.

During my younger years, the only available American made multi-tools were the ones being sold near military bases by servicemen stationed here (surplus stores), and most of those sold were old leathermans. I was never impressed with the leatherman at first. Their first few models were the ones that bit your palms as you gripped the scales when using the pliers, hence my perception that Gerber made better multi-tools just because of leatherman's initial design flaw (it doesn't help the fact that my dad also gave me a Gerber multiplier)

Fast forward to now, boy was I wrong with leatherman.  I've just recently acquired a micra and a charge tti and I am undoubtedly loving it. I work in an office setting so not surprisingly, i find a lot of use for the scissors. But there are times when I needed the leverage of a large plier. Sadly, my Gerber had no scissors, and my SAK had no heavy duty pliers, hence my hunt for a multi-tool that has one (simple enough eh?). Now, I've caught the bug. This particular syndrome is telling my brain to grow my leatherman collection. What have i gotten myself into?

I hope to learn a lot from this community, and eventually share my experiences as well. Cheers.

Hello Everyone my name is David aka Burger. I live in the Philippines and I work in an office environment so my MTs don't see much action there except for removing staples and opening chips. I do use my MTs on my weekend activities and during trips. I've also had several hobbies over the years where I needed to use my MTs. These vary from Montaineering, to Shooting, to more recently DJing at clubs. I have been a keeping and using MTs for more than 20 years. I have Leatherman ST300, Rebar, Wave, MUT, OHT, Charge, Surge, Skeletool CX, Wingman, Sidekick, PST, Squirt, and Micra. I have a few Victorinox, SOG, and Gerber as well. I even have some China Steel! I have been reading the reviews from this forum for quite sometime now and I have enjoyed seeing how passionate some of you can be over your MTs, much like me. As I was reading earlier i decided to just jump in, sign up, and make a review. I wanted to start with something small so I went with the Micra, and now  here I am! Thank you guys for creating this forum and for letting me be a part of it. More power to you guys!

That's a decent collection David and a great review on the Micra (I just read it) :tu: One question though, what do you use the MTs for while DJing? I'm a production studio manager and I can imagine the many different uses but I'm curious because I like to hear what other ideas people may have that I haven't thought of. Oh, and, howdy from Texas!¡!

Howdy from Manila stealth007s!

Most in-house DJs won’t normally need to use an MT since they leave their gear in the club and just lug around a laptop, but hobbyists like me will use a MT quite a bit. Guests DJs like myself will move around quite a bit to wherever the party will take them. Be it clubs or house parties. So we move our gear a lot. We bring laptops, digital mixing equipment, and tons of cables and plugs. That is where the MT comes in. More often than not there would be little fixes that a Squirt/ Micra or a SAK can handle like tightening screws, cutting electric tape, or even stripping wires. But there are times when pliers would be needed to loosen a tightly screwed in cable head or to fix prongs/plugs. Heck, I would even use my MT to bang at some stuff that are too corroded to budge. So there you go, the not so eventful MT use by a DJ.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

Hi guys and gals. New member here joined yesterday. Live in Igloo land... Jk Anchorage actually. I've had a sick sick obsession with knives and multitools ever since I was like 11. This place seems like a great place to hang out.

Hello there!
My name is Kerstin and I'm from Germany. My fiancé kinda nudged me to come here, even though I have no damn clue but i like my small victorinox knive I got as a birthday present from him.
I have a Leatherman-wanna-be-thing too. It was an ad of a cooperation I work with and I thought why not? ^_^*

Hello Everyone!

   My name is AccuNut, (I have also been known to respond to "William", :)) I have been lurking around off and on for a while now, but just recently decided to join the forum.

   I enjoy doing just about anything that takes me outdoors.(Except yard-work, of course. :D) I am also very fond of doing research, which is how I found this forum to begin with. (More on that in a minute.)

   My first multitool was a cheap Cabela's pocket multitool that would be better described as a pocket multi-NOT-tool! But despite its shortcomings, it did serve to draw me toward the idea of multitools in general.
   A few years later, a friend of mine showed me his Gerber multitool with their then-new "flick-to-open" design. I was hooked. Shortly thereafter I purchased one for myself, oddly enough, from Cabela's! For a couple years I was content, I didn't see a need to get any more tools. Especially not one of those cheap Swiss Army type...until, my brother had to buy a couple seasons of... MacGyver. Yup, you guessed it. All of a sudden, those "cheap" Swiss Army knives started to look pretty cool!
   I currently work at a vet clinic, so carrying a pair of pliers strapped to my belt is out of the question. (Believe me, trying to help hold a 75 pound Pitbull made of steel and rawhide for a nail trim and worry about getting caught on the edge of the exam table; not pretty. Oddly enough, it seems a lot of dogs HATE getting their nails trimmed. :think:) So I have really come to appreciate true "pocket-tools".

   I currently carry: A Victorinox Hiker, Gerber Dime, and Leatherman Style CS.(Alright, so, technically the Leatherman is a carabiner tool. But it is so small it's not an issue.)

   Now, as to how I found Multitool.org: My older brother was intrigued by the concept and overall quality of my Victorinox, but just wasn't crazy about the tool selection. So, I gleaned from him what he thought would be an "ultimate" collection of implements. He had no idea what I was planning, which was great, because his birthday was coming up! :whistle:
   I couldn't find a knife with exactly what he had specified, so I started looking for someone to build a custom one for me. This is where Multitool.org came in. My search brought me to a member here who does LOTS of custom Swiss Army knife work, specifically the Alox models; Syph007. Although I never ended up getting a custom made,(my brother loves the Alox Farmer I got him,) the amount of information on this site, and the range of topics it covers caught my attention. So, if I wanted to know something about a particular multitool, I would invariably end up here!

  But what finally prompted me to become a member is the fact that I hope to do a few modding projects of my own in the not-to-distant future, and I knew that with guys like Syph007 and other friendly chaps around, I will have a good place to get advice when I totally screw up a project! :D

Welcome AccuNut. :waving:

Very cool and detailed intro post. And feel free to ask whatever questions you might have regarding modding. Our members are very friendly and will offer advice on whatever questions you might have or link you to relevant topics, easier for us to find them than for a new guy. It's also cheaper to ask questions before you start a mod than to mess a tool up and then ask questions. ;)

Hi,

I think I'm mostly a Knife fan, but as most of them I own a few SAKs and I really love them.  Since I has been reading and watching this forum I notice to want more SAKs even buy a couple(bunch) of them recently, so I blame you guys  :D.  I think I'm an addict  :gimme:.  :climber:

I'm mostly an EDC fan, but obviously multi-tools have a place in that! My SAK was my first ever knife, and the leatherman Style PS is my on my keychain for EDC. Since I'm in school, I needed a multitool without a blade. Also should have a green alox coming in a few days! (http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/batryn/DSC_6172_zps17065085.jpg)

Welcome!  :D :cheers:


And, I doubt it. Where the more-than-one-piece multitool market might seem crowded, I think the one-piece market is even crowdeder :P Lots of people seem to start cutting into some scrap steel, thinking they can design a tool :P


There's usually quite a few projects of these to be found on Kickstarter, besides that, Leatherman has quite an array of one-piece tools, and Gerber has the Shard, which is supposed to be really quite good, as well.


We do have a subforum dedicated to these, and keychain tools, have a look around there for more knowledge :)

Hello hello. New user from Florida. For the past 5 months or so I've been on an insane EDC kick. I've been cycling through obsessions about pocket knives, flashlights, and more. Now I'm going crazy on multitools.

My first multitool was a Leatherman Flair that I stole from my mom when I left for college 16 (!) years ago. I've been using it on my many camping trips, but a year or so ago someone stuck it too deep in a jar of jelly. And folded it back up and stuck it in the sheath without cleaning it or telling me. D:

So I decided to get some more. I got a Wave before some heavy duty cleaning on the Flair. And I got a Sidekick because it was irresistibly cheap, and I figured that should replace my Flair for camping duty, even though it thankfully cleaned up real nice.

Thanks for making this forum the great resource and community that it is!

Yeah, I was on a group camping trip in Alabama, and I think someone was trying to reach the jelly near the bottom of the jar. That person naturally smeared jelly all over and inside the hinges on the knife side of the tool.

I'm in Tampa.

That said, I've never had a Flair, I keep meaning to try one but every time one comes up for sale I've already gone and spent my spare cash!

I really like the Flair, especially the cocktail fork! I have found the spreader is useless though.

Hi guys, im Steven from Texas, and I've actually been browsing for a couple days. Mostly im interested in Modding some Leatherman's (and collecting more!!!), but I have been looking at SAKs again because of this site. My first multi was a SAK my dad got me (Explorer I think?) for joining Boy Scouts, followed by a LM Kick a few years later. Since then ive aquired a Sidekick, and recently, an Original Wave (in bad shape, might I add). Ill probably be posting to the modding forum soon, but I already feel like this community is going to be great, based on what I have read so far

Hello everyone.
Im newcomer from Connecticut was lurking for almost a year, for some reason wasn't able to sign up when came across a forum and gave up after a wile. Got my first MT at Home Depot after Christmas sale in 2015. That s was Kick for $18 or so. Since that time have several dozens of PSTs, every possible variations of Japanese ones,more than  half dozen " Pocket Survival Tools " both US and Japanese.
Don' t have yet first Cabelas , hollow screws PST and black with Pocket Survival Tools . Other then that most likely most of PST . Appreciate any advice where to look and what prices are. Didn't  get interest in Juice and MUT yet but have few . Love most of Leatherman's and have a lot considering starting collecting about a year ago.have some SOG and pre leatherman MT but concentrating on LM.
Even by lurking got lots of information on site, thanks a lot everyone for posting

Hi everyone, my name is Dominique Buzon and I'm addicted to multitools since I received my first Swiss army knife when I was a boy scout.
Now I have a little son (7) and he made his first Spartan on the assembly tool in the Victorinox flagship store, he is so happy and wants to use every implement on it lol. I purchased items of various different brands and I decided to subscribe after seeing all the marvels of modding on the forum and the good atmosphere here.
My absolute favorite multitool still don't exist, it would be a modular knife, maybe for one day?
Excuse my bad English, my native language is French.

Welcome aerocap.  What a wonderful first SAK for your son  :tu:.  Being able to make it in the flagship store makes it even better, especially with dad.

Hi everyone, my name is Dominique Buzon and I'm addicted to multitools since I received my first Swiss army knife when I was a boy scout.
Now I have a little son (7) and he made his first Spartan on the assembly tool in the Victorinox flagship store, he is so happy and wants to use every implement on it lol. I purchased items of various different brands and I decided to subscribe after seeing all the marvels of modding on the forum and the good atmosphere here.
My absolute favorite multitool still don't exist, it would be a modular knife, maybe for one day?
Excuse my bad English, my native language is French.

P.S. Is there a like or thanks button? I didn't see but I found some posts deserve it really :-)

Welcome aboard!

Hi guys, im Steven from Texas, and I've actually been browsing for a couple days. Mostly im interested in Modding some Leatherman's (and collecting more!!!), but I have been looking at SAKs again because of this site. My first multi was a SAK my dad got me (Explorer I think?) for joining Boy Scouts, followed by a LM Kick a few years later. Since then ive aquired a Sidekick, and recently, an Original Wave (in bad shape, might I add). Ill probably be posting to the modding forum soon, but I already feel like this community is going to be great, based on what I have read so far

  Welcome Steven!  :cheers:

So...
I've been lurking around the forum for awhile, but just now decided to register.
My multitool history started with the first episode of MacGiver, where I saw a SAK for the first time. I mean, I had seen pocket knives before, but never a Swiss Army Knife. It was a pivotal moment.
From then on, I was hooked!
I'm from Portugal, and around here is not very common to be walking around with a folder in your pocket, however, a small SAK seems to be well accepted, since is more tool than knife, even if it has a blade.
That being said, I started to carry a folder on a regular basis, a couple of years ago, along with a small SAK or Leatherman, but I was getting weird looks whenever I needed to pull out my blade to cut something up, or open a box, or whatever...
So I decided to carry only multitools on my person at least for the time being).

Hi,

Greetings from Poland!

I got my nickname "Ivan" in primary school after the guy who tried to punch Rocky Balboa :facepalm:

I used to make knives since I'm 14 (fixed blades only). Now too much work and no time to back to my hobby, so I prefer to modify what I already have. I own Victorinox Nomad and Leatherman Rebar. I got the Rebar after my old Pulse according to 25 years warranty, but I don't like the lack of scissors. I will try to add them, so I'm here to ask and learn from your experience. And sorry for my poor English, I hope I'm comprehensible enough.

Hi! I figured that the first thing I should post on this forum is some info about me, so here goes
My name is Conor. I've been using SAKs for all my life - my first knife was a Minichamp that I got (after quite a few months of begging) as a present for getting my first communion. I grew up in Oregon (and plan to move back out there for sure once I finish school), which meant I was almost always around the woods. I put my minichamp to the test carving big sticks and such with my friends in the downtime between building our tree fort. After a year or something (can't remember exactly how long), I became jealous of my friend's knife, which was a 91mm SAK that had red Boy Scout handles and a saw on it. My best guess is that it was a Hiker, or a model very similar to it. Anyway, I ended up purchasing a Huntsman - which I put to work immediately. After using it for the next 4 or so years to carve 3 inch thick sticks, fell small trees with the saw, even to cut a 2x8 in half, I developed a strong connection and trust with the brand, which remains with me to this day.
Anyway, that's my little history rant. I'm really excited to get to know everyone here! :like:

Hi, I have lurked around here off and on for awhile, decided to give it a try.

My current favorite MT is the  previous gen leatherman charge tti. I've owned a few LMs throughout the years but I like this one.
I also have a handful of the LM squirts and skeletools.

My main interest is knives though.  Older Kershaws and ZT's. I have had a bunch of different Alox Saks and the like too!

Got a few G-shocks and flashlights to go with the collection too!

 Anywho,  hi and thanks for having me!

Hi all,
Long time listener, first time caller. Recently bought a Sog powerlock that I was deeply unhappy with. Just purchased a LM Surge to replace it. Then a Bear & Sons Gardener ::) Hoping to do a little modding as well because I'm dissapointed at the lack of secateur based multitools!

Thanks Poncho :)  Not sure quite yet but I think I might want to try to steal the tools from a Wave and a Buck X-tract essential and get them into a smaller package, maybe one of the sides of a wave or maybe a Signal ... might be to big for my first attempt to I may try my hand at something smaller first.  Ultimate goal is to get something thin (pocket carry) with a large blade, large scissors, screwdriver (phillips and flat) and maybe tweezers and a light.  We will see  ???

It's not my first post here but since I'm starting to like it here I might as well introduce myself.

(http://i.imgur.com/SP9Pu.gif)

Somewhere around my 9th birthday I bought my first pocket knife. Since that day the Handyman has always been in my pocket.
It's a trusty companion. I misplaced it somewhere in 2006 and had to buy another. Chances are my original knife is still in a box somewhere, I hope to get that one back someday.
Since that day I collected some more SAKs and only on very rare occasions I took a different model instead of my Handyman. Most of the time another knife will be a secondary carry.

I found this place because I was looking for a way to distinguish a Traveller from it's digital scaled counterparts. I took a look around the forums and really liked what I saw. The threads with the pictures (inside, outside, with another knife, upside down and whatnot) are truly awesome.
Also, the treads of modded SAKs are greatly entertaining and I cought the DIY bug. I'll be on the lookout for some cheap second hand SAKs to give that a go.
The only modding I have done upto this day are rescaling. I rescaled my Handyman with Black Celidor Plus scales 20 years after I got it. And I did some rescaling for others.

I have some interest in other knives, I have some regular folders like a Spyderco and a Böker+ (my goal is to have a folder for every day of the week). These are always a secondary carry. I never leave the house without a SAK.

The Traveller I was after is now used as a pockesmurfch at work. Since we can't wear wrissmurfches in the hospital I'm forced to other alternatives. And I can't say I'm bothered, just another excuse to carry a SAK!

Hi everyone my name is Nicolae , born in Romania living in Wales
Thank you for accepting me. As a old seaman I'm using all kind of multitools and knives. On my time off I always had a pocket knife with me as a edc .On the boat I've got a leatherman wave and a spyderco Pacific, I find myself a good combination for what I need.  At home in my pocket it's always my small tinker and depending of my mood my serrated delica, or my recent one - serrated dragonfly.

Hi everyone.. my name is Abdullah and I am from Malaysia.
Not really a collector, a user mostly. Have a LM Wave, a couple of SAKs and a Gerber.

I stumbled upon a few pics of modded SAKs and custom alox on pinterest and that kinda rekindle my interest in SAKs, so here I am.

Nice to meet you all!

Hello gentlepersons. I only have one non-SAK multitool (a Leatherman that's old enough to get served and that's worn out two sheaths/pouches) but it has a couple even older SAK compadres.
You'll probably mostly find this old New Jerseyan over in the SAK section. Like the last new member, I'm not a collector at all, but rather a user. I've been successful in passing my enthusiasm for these implements of mass construction on to my kids, and that's a very satisfying accomplishment.

Greetings from London, UK.

I started off looking for a multi tool because my wife wanted me to tidy up my tool boxes and get rid of the old stuff.  In exchange for discarding some old items I thought I'd get a multi tool, that was close at hand and would stop me having to pull out my tool box (we live in a small flat, and stuff has to be packed away into the back of cupboards).

Leatherman Wave was my first choice, but it's not EDC in the UK because it has a locking blades.  I liked the look of the SOG PowerLocks, and the ability to remove the knife, but still in UK if the long metal pieces lock or cannot return to closed position then it's a risk to carry EDC.

So I got a LM S2 orange  Juice.  Actually I first got one for my father for his birthday, and I liked it so I got myself one.  It arrived today, and the bit kit should be here soon too!

Title: Howdy from deepest Mexico
Post by: WDY on May 04, 2017, 05:00:23 AM
Well, howdy there.  Actually it's not DEEPEST Mexico, just 1000 miles south of the border.  Me and the little woman moved to wonderful Todos Santos, near the end of the Baja Peninsula 8 years ago and have been busily retired since then. I didn't know that I had a "carry" knife 'till I started reading this cool forum, but I've always has some kind of knife or other. Last 10-15 years it's been a Tinker or something similar.

I freaked out a couple of months ago and started bidding on SAK lots on ebay, winning quite a few.  Unfortunately these are all shipped to our old home place in Mendocino, CA, and I can't get my hot little hands on 'em for another month or so, when we travel back to the States. I've done a few experimental scale "makes" and found it's pretty fun and easy to do. I've been a woodbutcher for 50 something years and making scales out of our local mango, teak, eucalyptus, ironwood, etc. it really neato. It's challenging to be working with such a precision thing as a Swiss army knife - like, in thousandths rather than 1/16" as in wood.

So, here's a question - where can I get the small parts that make up the interiors of these cool knives?  I'm looking for 91mm parts like pliers, metal saw/file, brass studs (rivets?), etc. I know a helpful member is gonna say "just tear one apart and use those parts" which I may have to do but if possible would like to get those little bits and bobs without thrashing yet another descent knife. 

Thanks much, guys.  I really enjoy this forum.  Also, checkout the FaceBook forum called Cellidor SAK's

Hi everyone,

I signed up to the Forum this morning.
I'm interested in knives since a young age and started collecting some years ago.
Lately I started restoring SAK's and generally streamlining my collection.
I'm looking forward to reading this Forum.

Kind regards from Switzerland,

Halloo from New England town.

Signed up some hours ago after checking in time and again for reviews and other information.

Been through some SAK' s...Camper, Hiker, Huntsman. All gone. Broke the red scales off all of them. I do still have my Tinker Deluxe, but again, with the red only intact on one side...So went in for the Leathermans PST ii, Micra, two Original Super Tools, as there is no attached grip to break off.

I hike with my Beagle, we camp, I fish, I sometimes use it for quick access to a tool while working on my beater old truck, fixing a door hinge or something In the house, and repairing network connections and computers at work.

Somehow I feel myself slowly sliding into a funk where I need to own more of Leatherman, even though I have three carry tool boxes full of Craftsman and a bag full of Bucks and Stanley...

Um...this IS the support group for that, right?

Hi from the uk. Never thought I was in anyway a collector, but from age 10 or so always carried a knife of sorts and each few years progressed to a bigger better one, then I joined the RAF as an engineer and we weren't allowed our own tools, but  I kept buying for my personal car tinkering. Posted to Goose Bay, Labrador started my Leatherman collection, PST, supertool, the. Back in the uk, a few waves, a micro, a few tiny ones for the kids and a lovely supertool 300 as a replacement for my worn out original. My favourite at the moment is a c33t small, sharp and the screwdrivers are excellent.
Can't really carry it here in the U.K, but its in my dog walking pocke and despite the knife laws here drawing so much attention, the knife, multitool market seems thriving enough to make me buy knifes I fancy.
Anyway enough waffle, this forum sucked me in from reading the modding SAKs posts and it looks great so far.
Cheers
Steve

Good morning (local time) all,

Introduction time. My nick does nothing to keep my nationality a big secret  :D but I'm based in southern Germany, which is close enough to the place where some nice tools originate ( :climber:) :whistle:
An engineer (aerospace) by profession, tools in all kinds and sizes have always attracted me (besides some other things, like the local brews). The fascination with multitools started during primary school with the good old swiss army knives, and has evolved over the years to the Vic and LM multitools as these became available. For some reason my assortment has seen a modest spurt of growth in recent times, mostly from LM, but I keep the couple of older SwissTools in good use as well.
My aim in this particular aspect of life is to find (and failing that, perhaps create?  :drool:) the single most versatile tool available - failing that a hopefully small number that covers all of my modest everyday needs, which may vary a lot - and incidentally so do legal and travel security constraints, unfortunately - depending where I'm heading this week. Almost needless to say, I have yet to find the ideal MT. But let's keep the discussion on that for more appropriate places and times.

Thanks for now!
Dutch_Tooler

Dear Sirs,
after reading and learning from this forum for several years I would kindly ask the fine gentlemen (and ladies?) of the Multitool.org Club to accept my humble membership application. I would be honored to be part of this delusional, out-of-this-world interest group of mostly middle-aged and senior citizens that still consider pocket knifes and multi-tools to have any real-world value in modern cyber dominated society. I will do my best to meaningfully contribute to the multitool-biased discussions, support other members in keeping and further developing their time- and money- intensive addiction in defiance of the societal common knowledge that stainless steel, cellidor and wood are signs of an era long gone by .
 >:D
On a more serious note, I do an EDC, I am mostly interested in rescuing the old MTs, SAKs and pocketknives from their underserved neglect and giving them a new-old meaning in life. ;) I have a small collection of SAKs, Leathermans and other tools, I am very much interested in modding (although for now only in theory) and other DIY improvements and solutions that make multitools more useful or better suited for one's need. Looking forward.

Best regards,
Gregor

On a more serious note, I do an EDC, I am mostly interested in rescuing the old MTs, SAKs and pocketknives from their underserved neglect and giving them a new-old meaning in life. ;) I have a small collection of SAKs, Leathermans and other tools, I am very much interested in modding (although for now only in theory) and other DIY improvements and solutions that make multitools more useful or better suited for one's need. Looking forward.

Hi everybody. Hendrik from Southern Germany here. While moving flats past october I realized I had been missing a good SAK in my life having had to put up with a cheap SAK copy. Thus I  started to look around what is available. Being slightly obsessive in researching such topics (which helps me in my job as content manager for a big onlineshop selling outdoorgear) I am now the happy owner of a Victorinox Evolution S14, Rangergrip 56, Cybertool 41 and Leatherman XE6 with Bit Extender and full bit kit. A Surge will come next and a Victorinox Spirit at some point for the heck of it. ^^

So you see, the Multitool-fever has taken firm hold of me.  :D This forum has already been a very useful source of information and I expect to enjoy myself here a good bit. So I am looking forward to nice and fruitful discussions with you lot. Though simple swooning over our latest toys will do fine, too.  :)

Hi, everyone!

So, I've been a forum lurker here for quite a long time but just never made an account.

A bit about me:
I (currently) live in Colorado and have always been a huge fan of all things nature. I wouldn't consider myself strictly a multitool enthusiast, but rather a survival enthusiast. Multitools just happen to be a survival staple! I got into multitools after watching Les Stroud when I was a teenager. Of course, I got a Leatherman Wave like his! Since then, I've had several tools and have gifted several more. I still carry a Wave around daily! Feel free to ask any questions :D

I'll be candid- my reason for finally signing up is because I have a tool to sell and I want to post on this forum before I go to ebay. It's the 10th Anniversary PST, so I'm sure it would be able to find some love here!

Hello everyone, I've carried a Leatherman Wave since 2001 and I love it! I'm on my third one after having 2 warranty replacements.
With the tightening of the UK knife laws, I am now more conscious than ever that I am carrying an "illegal weapon" in the eyes of many. I have found the forum after seeing here the wonderful modifications that have been made to Swiss Army Knives. I hope to get inspiration to have a try at SAK modification myself to provide a more publicly acceptable, yet still capable, EDC multi-tool.

Hi guys, been here a few days having a look around, seems like a great place. Just got a leather man wave a few weeks ago and I've used it almost every day from cutting insulation and drywall to pulling splinters out of fingers.
I've found it to be a beast of a tool so far. I'm a keen tinkerer and would love to upgrade and modify my wave but I live in Ireland so buying parts from the US and the likes is impossible for me thanks to the damn knife laws here. Anyway.. thanks for havin me.

Hey all!
I used to be a member years ago but had to register over. I have quite a few multi tools of various models and brands. My obsession started in the late 70’s when I watched a movie called The Double McGuffin. A kid my age at the time had a multi tool he would use in the movie. Been hooked ever since.

Hi all!  Been lurking around from Virginia for over a year drooling over longbow's bucktool collection and the monthly give aways. Got my first SAK while in the Boy Scouts during the mid 80's, my first Leatherman PST and Gerber MP in the early 90's while in the Marine Corps.  And I still have them!  Along with many others (leatherman, geber, sog, buck, crkt, benchmade, craftman [rebranded bear jaws], generic brands and us military pocket knives [its not a demo knive!!!  It merely came with the demo tool kit and as a stand alone issue from the 40's to the 90's]. 

I really enjoy seeing and reading about everyone's collections and I always come here first when researching a tool/knife model that I haven't seen before.

Hey guys :)

I am from South Africa. I have been using cheap multitools for over a decade, did not really know any better until I bought a second hand fuse 2 months ago. I was blown away with the quality and feel of the tool. There was a small flat driver missing so I sent it in, and got a wave to tide me over. Which i broke the first day using it to pry  :whistle:

Luckily the guys at the shop were so surprised I managed that in my first day they swopped my wave for another. However since then the bug has bit me bad and  I have gotten way too many more  :rofl: I use a surge and supertool 300 for work and a spirit at home. I just love the fact that they are all the same shiny metal, so my wife does not know my multitools have been having babies.

Hi Everyone,

Longtime lurker, decided to finally register and participate. I came across this site while looking for information on how to reshape a damaged Victorinox main blade. I found what I was looking for and a whole lot more. I was bitten by the SAK bug and developed a full-blown SAK fever, of which I am only starting to recover. My EDC is an Explorer, at work it’s a Deluxe Tinker. I’ve also dabbled with Climbers, Super Tinkers, Huntsmans (or is it Huntsmen?), Cybertools and recently, Swisschamps. I used to carry a Leatherman for 11 years at my previous job, but the one I have now doesn’t really require me to carry around a large multitool. I stumbled across an old Victorinox Camper that I got when I was around 11 and decided to see what other versions I could find. I quickly started to research and acquire the above listed models in an attempt to find my perfect EDC.  I am looking forward to modding some of my own creations, inspired by the fine examples on these forums.

Hello all,
Just found the forum tonight while searching for right size/type torx bit to fit my Wave so I can add a pocket clip.  Found all I needed and more.  My love for multitools started 30 years ago with a Leatherman PST and has stuck ever since with a couple of original Waves, Supertools and Gerbers.  Retired now in rural Eastern Tennessee and love to tinker with things to make them better fit my needs and desires.  Look forward to learning more about mods and uses for multitools.

Good day everyone!

From one of the 7,107 islands (depending if its high or low tide) of the Philippines here.

My first memory of a tool was when I was 5yrs old, I plugged in my father's US market 110v Dremel to our local power outlet which is 220v  :facepalm:
Officially the first MT that I owned was an SAK Handyman in the early 2000s which I lost 2yrs after and then replaced with the same model which I have till now.

Currently I've been bit by the LM bug...and its really bad...but that's for another thread.

Hi guys,

New to the forum, been a long time lurker and finally joined. I'm a bit of an addict and love the functionality of multitools. Started with a Schrade, moved on to a Supertool (which I also upgraded to the newer model with the replacement cutters), have several versions of the Skeletool, have a couple of Waves, got my grail Swisstool and this doesn't count the smaller models I've picked up here and there. I'm sure I've missed a couple that I haven't mentioned too.

Glad to be part of a group of like-minded individuals.

Cheers,
Vince

Afternoon all, Newbie here. I only found the forum recently, until then I thought my condition was relatively unique, but no, there appears to be loads of us who like things sharp, pointy and foldy.  :D

It all started probably 40ish years ago with a Vic Camper (still have it!) then a Swiss Champ (no hook, scissors with screw, still got that as well) and now includes Classic, MiniChamp, Climber, Deluxe Tinker and I've just ordered a new Swiss Champ so I can retire the old one  :D and my late Dads Spartan, that needs a new small blade (my first resto!)

As well as SAKs, Leatherman is also a favourite, with Surge, (original) Wave, Juice Pro, Micra and Squirt and Crunch, (had a Style, which was stolen :cry:)

There's more, but typing this lot has made me think I may have a problem.....

Cheers, Cakemonster

Hi everyone on the forum  :hatsoff: Another newbie from the UK here. I'm from Salisbury (Yes that Salisbury that was in the news a while ago!) I've always been a fan of penknives multitools & gadgets in general. When I was a teenager back in the mid 70's we used to go camping in the New Forest and I was always whittling some piece of wood or other which annoyed my parents especially my Dad who would’ve preferred me to have become a mechanic like him  :whistle:

I'm a big fan of Leatherman multitools I have a couple of Wave's, a Signal plus various bit kits/extenders pocket clips and one of those excellent Skinth sheaths to keep a Wave kit all safe in. I will be reading up on the mods section as I plan to mod my oldest Wave. My other interest includes amateur radio and older Land Rovers, although I've given up the latter due to health reasons. I'm not as fit as I once was so I drive something that doesn’t require getting tools out nearly every weekend  :tu:

Good morning all, I’m Pup and a new starter to the forum.
I’ve had a leatherman for what seems like a life time and have only recently started looking into army knives.

My eldest son recently broke one of his front teeth.  It’s been fixed, but, I’ve told him no eating apples or pork pies anymore unless he cuts them up. I offered to buy him a Swiss Army Knife and so a search starter.  I wanted an original army knife and via this forum found out there is more to this than a simple fire and forget purchase.  After a bit of research, we have a Dutch legacy in the family and I’ve set my mind on giving each of my 4 kids a Dutch Army Knife manufactured in the year of their birth.

Sounds simple but I think this may take some time.  I’ve had my brother in law start looking in Holland, he came back with an answer of “I can’t find any” so I think you get the picture, looks like I’m on my own personal quest to find them.  Brother in laws, what’s the point in them!!!!!!!

I have nothing special. Only some from the 80s, a few newer and a few from the late 70s.
I am only a beginner in collecting SAKs.
Others from the forum will probably just have a tired smile left over my previous collection.

Hello all, I have always liked pocket knifes and from when I was a kid and have always carried a pocket knife. Just in the last year or so have I gone down the rabbit hole of collecting from Spyderco to traditional folders. Now I have been interested in Victorinox collecting and possibly modifying. Hope this forum will help me down another journey into the knife hobby.

Hello everyone

I have been reading some of the posts in MTO as a guest for a while, and finally registered myself.

Having collecting Swiss Army knives here and there for the last 30+ years, my small collection includes a very well used Aitor (my very first but non-Swiss), some Victorinox and Wenger knives.  Two years back, I bought a Leatherman Super Tool 300 and as they said, you will never stop at one.  Several other Leathermans were slowly added since then.

I have read and learnt much from reading the various forums here, and would like to say hello to everyone here and thanks for the useful information gathered.

Hello everyone.

Found out this site merely by happenstance when I was trying to locate some information about the ToolZall multi tool made by Crescent long before Cooper Tools.  With sporadic information on various forums, I'd say multi  the encyclopedia  best concentrated information I've seen. 

While I mostly am interested in tools in a hobbyist way, I do find some tool related information interesting, especially vintage tool information.  Didn't even know there was a forum until I found out recently there is a member that amazingly has a wealth of Gerber multi tool related information.     

Looking forward to exploring a wealth of knowledge here.

Hello everyone! I've been watching this forum in the shadows for several years. My registering here is long overdue.  :)

Multitools, knives, lights, and edc in general have been a strange obsession of mine since right after high school, about ten years ago. My current multitool stable is quite small, consisting of:

Leatherman Sidekick
Victorinox Camper
Spyderco Clipitool Standard
CRKT Eat'n Tool


Previously owned tools:

Leatherman Super Tool 300
Leatherman MUT
Leatherman Wingman
Gerber MP 600 Pro Scout
Victorinox Classic


In the past, I've worked jobs where I used a multitool several times a day, everyday. However, I now work in an office environment and my multitool sees less use. Does this stop my obsession? No  :), and I'm currently trying to decide which Leatherman will be my next tool.

Thanks for providing such an awesome forum!

Weapons are also tools so i like those too.
And that was my short introduction.

Hello all - Jud here - recent lurker & newly professed SAK addict

I recently ventured down the SAK rabbit hole and have, as yet, no wish to return. I’ve had a SAK & leatherman for years for camping & hiking but never really realised the addictive potential that collecting offered.

It was really the realisation that I could smarten up my 30 year old handyman (please rise above the obvious innuendo...) with flashy plus scales that got me started. So far I haven’t been able to stop & my wife and kids are threatening an intervention.

Loving the wealth of info & passion on the forum. Happy to join in.

The photo showcases the fruits of my obsession so far - all but the Handyman, Spartan & Tinker bought in the last month...

Be honest - Do I need help?

Hey folks. I'm Mike. I Have been into multitools, knives and 'edc' things as far back as I remember. From my grandfather gave me my first pocket knife and told me to always have one and a piece of string on my person. I didn't even know that EDC was a thing. It was only after someone noticed what I was carrying and said oh you're into EDC then, that I started to look it up. Anyway it's nice to be on a forum again, instead of FB. Hope you are all doing well.

I've been packing this gem daily for 6 years now.
I've been in residential construction, mostly remodel, for over 30 years and the Wave is probably the most useful and most used tool I own, I use it pretty much daily.

My favourite tools are the Victorinox Pioneer and the Leatherman Charge+.  :multi: :climber:

Hello to my fellow Tool Enthusiasts

My introduction: 

My first multi-tool would have to be a scout knife I received around 1970 with a fork and a spoon, a bottle opener, and of course the blade while in Boy Scouts.
Later I graduated up to Swiss Army knives ( loved the little scissors ). My first pliers  type multi tool was a Gerber as I liked the out the end deployment.
It wasn't too long afterwords I discovered Leatherman and found their quality to be much better ( in my opinion ) as well as their product developments.
I'm a retired journeyman machinist (40+ years) and use my multi tools on a daily basis. Now I drive a school bus to get myself out of the house.
I have lurked on this site off and on  and thought why not register.  So here I am.

Hello All, after lurking I decided to register because you guys are some of the nicest, well written, useful, and concise forum participants I've ever read. I'm a multitool fan via an old school uncle with a Victorinox obsession. Short jump to a multitool as an EDC for work. Because I have small hands and prefer a specific type pocket carry I'm constantly on the lookout for the perfect tool. I could mod one, but the hunt is more fun. I've owned all the major headliners and currently carry a PST II, unsheathed, that I found new, unscathed, at a thrift store for 3 bucks! Thanks for all the knowledge and courtesy!

Howdy y’all!
 Been lurking here for awhile, enjoy the site! 
I live in Texas, and bought my first multitool in the early 90’s.  That was a PST i got at REI in Dallas.  Still have it, used it heavily, but have not carried it for years. 
Next tool was a sidekick.  Carried it awhile, clipped in my back pocket.  The springs that hold it shut(the spring loaded pliers) broke, and it sat at home.  So searching for a way to fix it, I stumbled upon this excellent site!
Y’all inspired me, and my next tool was a rebar, probably my favorite tool, and have acquired several (lots) of tools, mostly on ebay.
I also discovered multitools could be modded, and got the wrenches to disassemble leathermans.
Now I need to set up an account on a pic hosting site.  Any recommendations?

Hi all, after years of searching for the "perfect" multitool, I finally pulled the trigger on an LM Wave+ after seeing the great mods on this forum. Might not be my perfect EDC just yet, but it seems to be the perfect foundation to customise to my needs/wants!

Welcome.  The Wave is a great platform for modding.  Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Hello All,

I've posted in other parts of the forum before, but never introduced myself, so apologies for my rudeness.  The tool that I have had the longest is actually a Cattaraugus 3-W.  It has been packed away for years and may be a sensitive subject in light of current tool disassembly status.  The next tool, that I still have, is an Elgin Alligator tool with a leather wrap and dies in a wood tray.  I'll be posting more on that in the collector's forum.  My EDC is a Gerber Suspension that was a gift.  I have had it for a number of years, and am in desperate need of a 3rd sheath.  The only upgrade is the button snap my wife added in place of the velcro.  Personally, I own a manufacturing business with my father, in Southern Oregon.  We cast our own parts in aluminum and CNC machine them to build chainsaw chain grinders.

Hello!!
I'm hoping for some help!
I have several Multitools. I use them on a daily basis, groom opening cartons too building furniture. People have first and me why I carry a weapon  :facepalm:.... then later all me if they can use our need help because I have it.
I have an early leatherman, a noname needle nose to multiple Swiss Army knives.
I bought a Gerber multitool in, around 2000. I bought it at an Army Navy Surplus On State St in Schenectady, NY.
I used it for many years. Broke blades and USED this thing. Then..... It feel into shadow.... Then there was sadness.... I have searched the web for second hand ones to no avail. I was unable to find a picture of it even..... Then today I found a picture. Covered on it and it has been sold..... The sadness returned.
This is the picture!!
If anyone can help me locate the model number or even have one to sell, I would be very very grateful.... The sadness would end!!
Please help me on my wrist to find the one Gerber to rule them all!!!!


Grrrrr now I can't paste the picture.
The Gerber is a 600 series with:
Loop to hang from a lanyard.
Large flat screwdriver
Small flat screwdriver with bottle opener.
Fiskars scissors.
File one side course the other side fine.
Awl with a hole in it for sewing.
One blade with a serration near the hilt.
Phillips screwdriver.
Can opener
Needle nose pliers.

Any help would be appreciated.

Well, Due to the awesome Multi Tool Encyclopedia I have figured out what I had and lost. So what I had bought in a real Army Navy Surplus (they aren't really surplus now) years ago was the predecessor to the Gerber MP600 series. It was simply called the "Scout" not the "Pro Scout" which was based on the original. Since being able to search for this I found a used one on Ebay and I am getting this for Christmas. Really hard to find one. Once again, thank you guys for your work on the Encyclopedia. Without it I would still be pulling my hair out.
The other thing is that I found one of my other multi-tools that I called "No name" and it is based on a Sheffield though says made in China so I think it is a knock off. Still wor ks though.
Thanks again and Happy Holidays!!!

Thanks SteveC for your help. That is exactly what it is. I love the combo of blades and can not wait to get one back!!

I see all these awards people have like "Toothpick User - Start a new thread with a photo showing the Swiss Army Knife Toothpick being used in an unusual way."

Where can I find all the threads showing Swiss Army Knife toothpicks being used in an unusual way?

And where can I find all the other threads/posts that people won their awards for.

Thanks.

Hello everyone!

I've used several Leatherman multitools over the years. I went from Rev to Surge, and finished on Wave Plus. I know, how could I have replaced the mighty Surge  ::) Just fell in love with black oxide Wave and I found the size more convenient.
For fun I am collecting Victorinox SAKs. Nothing vintage (yet  >:D), if I like it I buy it. Have to say my favourite is the Huntsman. Mainly because it was my first SAK given to me by my father in the early 2000s. Being the favourite, doesn't mean it receives the most attention. For EDC I found Climber to be the sweet spot; one layer less in a jeans pocket is noticeable.

I've been researching SAKs and Leatherman before and always ended up here, so I thought it's time to register  :)

Hello everyone.
I finally registered with the kind help of Grant, because the automated mails from the forum do not seem to reach my mail provider.
I have been lurking for quite some time, mainly in Syphs Thread (I actually read the whole 200 pages) and am interested in SAKs and SAK mods.
I own several alox models, and some 91s. The dream would be a Marlinspike model as base for a mod. Sadly 200€+ for one is out of the "user" range for me. But we'll see... :)

Hi Toolies,

I’ve been lurking on this forum for far too long so I thought it was about time I introduced myself.

My name’s Andy, and I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect little pocket tool. Aren’t we all…

I’ve always been a bit of a gadget fan, for years, and have had many a multi tool. Usually they’re for fixing my bike (bicycle). Though I also needed something for opening boxes, in my previous job.

After many missteps, I’ve currently settled on a Victorinox Rambler. Though I’d also really like an Alox version. 

And so my quest begins…

I'm a long time knife user (duh) of many sorts. I have a few older Leathermans, but mostly SAK's, with the Farmer and Huntsman and my new EvoGrip 18 (what an awful name for a great knife) as my favorites. Just wanted to drop in and say hi since I finally registered (mostly to identify a few older Wegners and SAKs I have lying around in a drawer.)

Regarding the old SAKs - We love the older ones here (well I do at the very least!)
Check out the Vintage SAKs thread.

Also have you checked SAKWiki (which we look after) to help with the identification tasks?   ???

Also you might want to consider joining the Swiss Army Knights !  See the thread at the top of the SAK board.

Hello from Michigan  USA. I tried to post this a week ago but it wouldn't load. This time I will drive to the blacktop before I hit send. LoL

Got my first swiss army knife in 1982, my first swiss tool in 1998?. Now I am surrounded by swiss army knives. Not sure how that happened, it's all just a blur. Got here via a fella named swiss army Dan, been lurking for quite a while and finally joined the party.

My first EDC was a pioneer. Then the cellidor champion and eventually champ caught my eye. I gave up working recently and spend most days outside in the woods or on the water in multitool heaven. Most days it's still a farmer, pioneer or champ in my pocket.

Hallo everyone,

I joined earlier this year but did not introduce yet myself so here I am to remedy it.

For long time I was always one knife user - I got Victorinox Mauser in early 90' and use it mostly for hiking and camping till ~2010/11 when it got confiscated by TSA (stupid packing mistake on my end), replaced by Wenger 179 Patagonian Race which I lost in 2020 and while searching for replacement I came across this fine place.

It truly sparked interest in SAKs, I learned a lot from all the knowledgeable members here, found a replacent of my lost Wenger (Forester Wood) and for the first time I got more than one pocket knife - I added Rambler and then some more (Minichamp, Waiter, Bakers knife, Alox Bantam, Tradesman and latest one is Cybertool M). I am surprised how much joy they bring!

Thank you all for such a great place and resource!

Hi I'm Rob

I've had a Swiss Army Knife of some description in my pocket or bag since I was around 12 or 14 so 40 years or so. In the 1990's I discovered Multi-tool's and bought a Gerber MP400 Sport as I couldn't afford the MP600 at the time. It was a great little tool and I carried it off an on for years till the blade snapped. Never realised I could get it fixed and bought the  Bear Grylls Ultimate, which was a bit pants to be honest. Changed to a Wave plus which I really liked, the got a Surge, but wasnt happy with the build qualityband metal quality on either. Gave my Wave away and I've since bought the Victorinox Spirit XC with Ratchet Set and the quality is amazing. Love it to bits. Now I just need them to release the MXBS or do a one hand opening version of the Spirit. I also need to decide whether to buy a Swisstool X or not.

I do love Victorinox.

Happy to be here and looking forward to being a part of it all

I am a new member from Brisbane, Australia.

I have carried a SAK pocket knife for many years in the 80s.

In the early 90s I swapped the SAK for a early FPR Gerber MT with Bull nose pliers(& no tool locks) before loosing it and replacing it with a MP Gerber MT with needle nose pliers(& tool locks).

After a while I swapped this out for a  Leatherman Charge Ti. Since then there has been a number of LM Charges and now my EDC is the LM Charge TTi.

Recently I have made a few changes by swapping out the Hard-wire Cutters for the EOD Cutters as i work with stranded wire. I have also swapped out the Medium Blade Screwdriver with a Awl from Aliexpress. I have also found 2 Squirt tweezers and I now have one of them in the slot the Pocket Clip uses.

I have a list of other mods that I am looking at doing soon.

Hello everyone, new member here, will be posting my Victorinox question in the Swiss Knights section here shortly. I've had the same Swiss Champ since I was about 16, probably the first proper birthday present I ever got. More recently I acquired a Spirit X multitool and since I live in Portland, a Leatherman should soon be added to my collection for work purposes. Happy to be here and hoping to learn more.

Hello all!
I'm brand new to the site as of an hour ago, and after reading some posts I'm already super excited to be here.

I feel like my experience with EDC's and tools in general is interesting. I tell people my grandfather was a real cowboy and I was wicked good at duck hunt for the old school Nintendo at like 3 years old 🦆🔫

Now I'm about to be 30, I obtained my ccw when I lived in Minnesota and am now back home in Las Vegas, NV (love state reciprocity). I'm gonna post a pic here of my current and humble EDC kit 😁

The last month has been particularly interesting, when my girlfriend acquired a whole box of vintage/retired SAKs and lockback bucks, pumas and spyderco knives. Having no idea what to do with them herself (and considering I had just lost my career/passion job of 9 years) I got to researching and listing the knives for sale.

I learned that the knives came from a man named Ashton Caldwell, who bought and sold knives wholesale but would also craft these beautiful wood handle scales for the knives he sold. The knives I believe we're made between 1975-1980 (I found some dating guides and that's what I managed to narrow them down to).

I've had a blast learning the history of each model and the different types of wood, and knowing that I can get these pieces to true collectors. It's been a blessing because I've made enough to pay my bills and I still have about half of the knives left so I hope to make even more friends and share all these pictures I have, and my journey as I grow my collection as well 🥳🤘

Ask me anything! Next I gotta figure out where I can post these to show you guys to maybe help date and sell them if you guys are interested 🙏 thank you all!

Hello from Portland, Oregon!  "Land of many knife companies!"  I have carried and used multitools since my father gave me a Leatherman Supertool for Christmas when I was in High-school some 35-ish years ago. I work in manufacturing and use a multitool daily for tasks that run from the mundane to saving the day. I appreciate the quality engineering and high standards of manufacturing that it takes to produce a good quality tool that will last for years. Thank you for having me here.
