I agree about the bolster stamping. Fortunately I have a couple RR older Barlows without!

I awlways carry a Classic in my hand luggage and have never had an issue travelling to/from the UK & Europe 

Which country/agent wanted to take your Jetsetter? If it was the UK they "may" not like that the combi tool looks like it "could" be used to loosen/remove bits of aircraft (albeit your flight would land before you managed to do anything  )

As I say, I've never even been questioned on my EU/UK journeys 

It was on the Polish side. Once he agreed to open it, he was ok with it. I guess the size helped as well.

It should be easy, this equation has exactly one solution 

I think it’s Soutok Moravy a Dyje, but please correct me if I’m wrong as I don’t know the area at all, and at least writing it means I’m not butchering the pronunciation…..!

And,  I do hope you sharpened your Razor before attempting to glide against your facial skin.

My Caribbean Blue Razor required a good deal of effort to get a paper cutting edge and a lot more work before hair cutting results in my forearm.

I also agree, a few Razors offered with CS blade steel should be made.  Specifically the YELLOW Synthetic!

I do find it funny, Case makes this model the vault Pattern for 2024 and Every pocket knife make is producing this pattern.  Just 2 years ago I looked for one to buy for my collection and no new stock was available, and only a few on the auction site.

BP - you are a braver man than me!  Respects.

DAY 15

Another crazy and expensive build day.... builders didn't want to take a 5 x 4 metre steel roller shutter door down....its 4 metres up in the air, so don't blame them...realised late last night that the build cannot progress without the roller shutter door down....ahhh

....so some YouTube videos late into the night, reversing a roller shutter door installation, armed with the Micra to cut and splice ropes...and a 5am start, I managed to get a 1.5 ton off the ceiling....I managed to convince the builders (3 hours later) it was a good idea (just to note at this point in time I didn't think it was a good idea!!!), and it was done....bloody hell that was frightening






The unpainted area shows the outline of the roller shutter door

On Tuesday 5/14, a email from Leatherman arrived, announcing the BEST of 2024.

Yes, their listing and maybe based on sales numbers, and likely a QUESS as to the intended use.

THE LIST
The Best Multi-tool We’ve Ever Made: ARC®
The International Best Seller: Wave®+
The Best Multi-Tool for Outdoor Adventure: Signal®
The Best for Hard Work: Super Tool® 300
The Best Minimalist EDC: Skeletool® CX
Best Multi-purpose Knife: FREE® K4
Best Pocket Problem Solver: FREE® T4
Best Trauma Shears: Raptor® Rescue
Best Multi-tool for DIY: Rebar®
Best Mini Multi-Tool: Micra


The Micra is their best Mini Milti-Tool!

But we knew that, just by it staying power.  And, functionality!
