Edged Tools / Re: Tried shaving w/ Case's One Armed Bandit

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

The Micra is their best Mini Milti-Tool!

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

Yes sir ree! I have a sibling to yours in a kit, along with a Canoe in the same skin except it is much darker though the same family.

Good taste!!!

Very nice buddy.

If it were a real Classic, I may have bought them all!

Megan suggested I buy it for the novelty of it, but I just couldn't bring myself to part with actual money for it. I figured a picture was good enough!
