Yes, I have a couple engraved blades  that are deep, giving a 3D affect of the image.

Most likely either a program issue at start or end of the cycle or a leaking anode.


Thanks for the anwser  :hatsoff: :hatsoff:

Swiss Army Knights Forum / Re: Question about (rough) liquid measurements with a SAK
« Last post by WECSOG on March 28, 2024, 04:19:30 PM »
I would use the ruler on my Swisschamp to measure the inside diameter of the container and the depth of the liquid therein, and use that to calculate the volume.

Or, use the ruler and other tools to make a smaller measuring cup from materials at hand, and use that to measure the liquid. For example, if you found a piece of pipe with a 2 inch ID, you could close one end with wood, duct tape or whatever, and use the saw to trim it to a depth of about 2-1/5 inches. That would give you a measuring cup of about 4 ounces, or 1/2 cup. In fact if you had some duct tape, you could make a cup entirely out of tape. Saw a flat end on a stick and whittle it to a known diameter (e.g. 2 inches) and use that as a former. Wrap the tale around the stick with the sticky side out, then wrap several additional layers with the sticky side in. Slip it off the former when done.

Or, you could even carve the classic bushcraft dipper/cup out of wood. Use the saw and the main blade to form the outside to the shape you want, then the small blade and the chisel to carve out a cavity. Use the ruler to calculate the volume of the cavity.

ETA: As an experiment, I just used the fish scaler/ruler on my Swisschamp to measure the interior volume of a Beanie Weenies can. I calculated it as 0.92 cup to the lip, so I figured it would be approximately a cup if I filled it to the absolute top. So I filled it completely full of water, dumped the water in a measuring cup, and it measured right at one cup.

Leatherman Tools / Re: Why not? Vice Grips.
« Last post by Craig_S on March 28, 2024, 04:17:07 PM »
If someone thinks they can EDC a Surge AND a pair of vice grips, good for them. It will work out better than a Crunch any day.

But, I EDC a Crunch, 10 double sided Wiha bits, 4" Knipex Cobras and pliers wrench, bit extender, 711 ratchet, Volty Switch, and a flashlight all in a large LM sheath on my belt. Depending on the day of the week, it's usually complimented with a PST, or a mini, or Wave, or Surge in a cargo pocket just to add variety to my life and be able to post here. However the second multi tool is almost never necessary and the size of most other Leathermans would not allow me to carry all the other stuff in the sheath with them.

My Crunch is used regularly for holding things when I use the grinder, removing rusty screws, and for normal things like cutting tape on boxes.

It looks like it maybe lines up with with the gap between the handles when closed. I wonder if it is from the Laser when they did the handles   :dunno:


I think you right look at the picture above  :hatsoff:
