Here is one of the latest multi-tool additions to my collection. I am always a little surprised whenever I discover a model I do not already have at the local pawn shop, and this is one of them. No identifying marks other than stainless on the plier head. Someone on Facebook suggested that it is a Gerber plier head, but I am unsure if this is the case. What I do know is that I have a thing for wooden handled multi-tools, and this one with the brass pins is fairly well built and exudes quality. This tells me this one is probably fairly old in the multi-tool epoch.

Spring loaded pliers...but internally, which is always better than the cheaper outer ones that tend to eventually slip off.

The 2 knife blades have a nice brass thumb stud.

The other only marking I can see are these decorative panels on the handles.

The plier head and tools do look like those of Gerber tools. Maybe the factory who makes Gerber tools decided to put this together? Or maybe someone just copied the Gerber designs?
Anyway it looks really nice! :cheers:

That looks like the same tool. I must say, I cringed every time the guy in the video said Leatherman. :rofl:
