Thanks Rizio! Good to see you again.

The cat in my avatar went missing ages ago. But in a stroke of incredible luck, I found him again about three years later, living with a lovely elderly couple on a small farm miles from where I live. I had to let him stay because he was so happy there & because the couple loved him, treated him really well, & enjoyed his characterful nature.

I still have my other cat, though.

Wow, that’s quite the story with the avatar cat, but at least it’s safe and sound! I remember seeing cats in your posts with the look of long-suffering humouring that only cats can adopt when being photographed!

No matter if it's the U.K., Oz down under, it's a proven fact that ban of weapons is totally ineffective. I'm sorry for the people that got stabbed, BUT...if just one or two people there had been armed with a handgun, they could have stopped it fast. As long as liberal governments disarm the citizens, they will be sitting ducks for a mass murderer. Why not arm the citizens and let people defend themselves???

The counter to that would be that instead of a knife attack it would likely be a crazy man with a gun instead? I think it is also worth looking at which countries have lots of mass shootings, and which countries don't, before concluding that weapons bans are ineffective.

Is that mint? Or is it a weed?

General Tool Discussion / Re: Flashlight Challenge - June 2024

There's plenty of time for people to think it over.

This is much more forgiving than a tool challenge, in regards to legality and travelling etc. And it covers all flashlight sizes, and headlamps, and it does not interfere with people's tool edc rotation. And I don't think we've had a flashlight Challenge, other than that one copper flashlight one a while back.

Multitools for Sale / For Sale: Victorinox Damast/Damascus Collection 2012-2018

« Last post by Grass on Today at 08:01:49 AM »

G'day All,

As beautiful as these are, I am not really using them or see myself using them - and am offering them up for sale.

I am limiting to Australian buyers for now (though not completely fixed). I have tried to look at sale prices for them all (though some lack recent sales) and then cut a bit off.

All excellent / as new - only opened for quality checks when purchased, numbers and photographs.

2012 A$1800  Trekker/Trailmaster  2775/5000
2013 A$ 900  Explorer 4852/7000
2014 A$ 600  Spartan 4818/5000
2015 A$1200  Rangerwood 68 2183/5000
2016 A$1500  Pioneer X 2182/5000
2017 A$ 650  Outrider 4418/5000
2018 A$ 700  Deluxe Tinker 5038/6000
-----------
Total A$7350

I would like to see as a bundle for A$6000 including postage. If you are within 150km of Brisbane I also offer to deliver to you.

From other posts, I understand that PayPal for services (not as a gift) seems preferable; this sounds good. I can also receive direct deposit. I am conscious that this is a large amount of money so anything that protects buyer and seller sounds good to me.

Offering here first. In no hurry at all.

My favourite is the 2012; I have a second one that I am keeping

All the best.
