Title: Unusual knife multitool - Slot Car specific
Post by: stressmaster5000 on December 01, 2010, 03:59:54 PM

Just had to share this one. The pocket knife has tools that are made for repair or adjustment of old slot cars. The knife has only 1 actual blade but several tools. Several photos on the auction advertisement.

Wow, that's really slick. What intrigues me is that from the looks of it it's fairly well constructed. In today's times such a tool would likely be slapped together as an afterthought using sub-par materials. That's really a testament to the pride of a bygone era.

Never liked scalextric and the ilk myself but specifically configured tools like that are cool :tu:
