My latest two, apparently took the scenic route to reach me!

Oh so worth the wait!

Both are textured, a SPARTAN and a TINKER 91.

Now thinking the ZEBRA and LEOPARD  maybe with the effort.

The KALEISCOPE pictures really do not doo it justice.

    With the GSMRE challenge rapidly approaching, I picked up some ramen cups.  I saw the hot pepper kinds at W-Mart, but decided not to tempt fate.  If these things need pepper, I have some already. 
    Our friend WECSOG is hosting the Gas Station Meals Read to Eat challenge this year.  It starts on May first and runs for a week.  Nice badge.  The challenge is in the Outdoor Cuisine section and there is still time for people to register.  It has already been a heap of fun and hasn't even started.
Best wishes.  Gary

General Tool Discussion / Re: 20h Anniversary MTO SAK- Is it worth it?

« Last post by Vidar on Today at 06:49:53 PM »

Lets make it mod friendly by not using using rivets but snap-on silly strong Bellevue washers with snap ring groove. If those pesky brass pins will not take it at equal diameters as today then lets replace brass with hardened Inconel. And then add on some spare parts like exchangable awl, screwdriver, corkscrew, knives, etc. 

Add on some extra pins and layers and we have 3 to 6 custom layers made-to-mod Victorinox 20 year special.

Hm. That would actually be kind of fun to make.

Can't go wrong having the Rebar along! 

    The REBAR is designed to handle almost anything a normal person may encounter.

If it can not, you could always carry a ST300 as backup😉

   There are things that raccoons just won't eat to begin with.  They generally eat leftover pinto beans, but did turn their little noses up at some kidney beans that I made once.  I turned up my nose on those also, which was the reason they were demoted to varmint vittles.  They don't like green things.  Salads, peppers, celery, They will eat any sort of sweets or fruit.  They will eat peanut butter.  They absolutely love chicken bones.  Live chicken bones, dead chicken bones, cooked chicken bones.  Num, num.  I think they could live on canned corn.  They also lived on my sweet corn patch until they finally put me out of the corn growing hobby.  There used to be about 60 acres of corn field next door to me.  They ate so much they could barely move.  I heard a rumor about raccoon acute cornary in the field, but that might have just been made up.
    I think I might have made that one up myself actually.  Best wishes.  G

So, I have had just one instance of the 61 M Grip slipping out of the pocket early this week.

However, I’ve since made a small change to the carry orientation in pocket, and happily, this seems to have alleviated the sliding out of the pocket problem.

I’ve been carrying it vertically in RF pocket next to my wallet, tip up, and these things have not changed.

If we consider 12:00 as the back of the blade (when closed) facing straight ahead, I was originally carrying in about a 4:00 or 5:00 orientation, i.e. the back of the blade towards the back seam of the pocket.  It seemed like this would allow the knife to lay flattest, and also put it in a convenient orientation to draw out of pocket.

The small change was simply to switch to more like a 10:00 orientation.  For whatever reasons, the knife seems to ride much more securely there, and I have had zero slippage issues since I switched to this a couple days ago.


As an interesting aside, the 61 M Grip is thinner than the older 61 (scales on the older 61 are thicker), but 0.4 ounces heavier.  Also, in my judgment the grip panels are worthwhile and a substantial improvement.

I agree. I even checked with Leatherman to confirm the ARC includes a pocket clip; after receiving confirmation, I was surprised it actually came with one.
