Oh No! I'd smurf if my ______ broke!

[sawman]

Think hard about this one and note that the answer can be but is not necessarily your favorite tool. 

Q: Which Knife/SAK/Multitool would you absolutely be lost without if it broke and you had to warranty it?

[Benner]

My Sebenza.  I may even shed a tear or two. 

[Millhouse]

My 2 LM Charge Ti's. If I had to send them in, I would probably get Charge AL's in return.

[thebullfrog]

I guess my Swisschamp. I bought it used and somewhat beat up from Tim. I've beat it up more. I kinda like it that way. If I sent it in I would wind up getting a new one with red scales (changed mine to black) and the new mag glass. Nothing against the new one, in fact it may actually be better, but I like that I have an old one, there's just something about having an old restored SAK that feels "right".

[lovenhim]

The Leatherman Wave, which I did break and had to send in for repair.  The Vic Spirit is keeping me company for now.

[Gareth]

LM Pulse.  Now I've got a Spirit the Pulse isn't my most carried tool, but it's such a great MT I'd be gutted if I didn't have it to play with, even more so if I couldn't get it replaced.

[Mr. Whippy]

Of the tools I have, which have warranties (that excludes Damascus Wave and Atwoods), I would have to say,

Kershaw A100 (which I used to use a LOT--even took it climbing to Peru  )

and my old SAKs (1962 Soldier, and old Swiss Champion with bale)

[AHB]

My user Sideclip..
 They probably swap it for a Kick..

[ryan1835]

my alx

it really needs to go on but i cant be botherd lol

[Threeme2189]

My user Sideclip..
 They probably swap it for a Kick..

Ditto on my Pulse and ST200.
They would probably be swapped with modern models, and I just can't have that!

[SlackOne]

My Bucklite 355.  If I had to take them up on their warranty, I'd end up with an XTract.  While it's not a bad tool, it's not remotely the same thing as the slim n' supple Bucklite.

[ducktapehero]

My engraved Spirit and my "uber Kick". Since both are unique I'd smurf if they needed work.

[sawman]

For me it would be my ChALX.  Although I actually use my Skeletool a bit more, I have spare Skele's but only one Charge.  And not just that, but the fact this Charge is a perfect one in every aspect.  The implements all lockup nicely;  the blades are sharpened spot on;  the pocket clip snaps in place and holds firmly;  the pliers are just the right tension etc, etc.  It would be terrible if it were to break!

[Deere Man]

I'd be pretty bummed if I had to send in my modded Wave.  I still have the parts to make it original, but it would be a real pain.

[Pacu]

My wave....i have it broke in jussst right

[Medic82]

I would be bummed if I had to send my Paratool away to the hospital, not because it’s my EDC (it’s retired from active duty) but since it was my first MT.

[MultiMat]

If either of my Al Mar MT's broke  ................................ like that is going too happen  (they get VERY light use)



If my Vic Spirit X or one of my LM Pulse's needed repaired I would so pissed I would have to go kick a Smurf 

[Mercury]

My Pulse.  I would absolutely smurf if I broke it.  LM most likely would give me a Blast(which I already have one of) and I would be very sad.

Also, the Pulse is my most used and carried tool, so the chances are pretty good that I'll break it sometime.

[asupernothing]

For me it would be my ChALX.  Although I actually use my Skeletool a bit more.

Firstly I love that you have started using the ChALX abbreviation.

Secondly I really do have to send mine in for warranty repair, for some reason the pliers have started grinding when I try to fold the tool. It feels like a roughed up washer. I just can't bring myself to part with it, even though it is currently sidelined while I am running the ST300 for trial.

I should really send it out on Monday...

[sawman]

Indeed, I have done it several times and every time it's difficult sending in a multitool.  I love the minor scuffing on my aluminum scales, every little nick and ding as well as how *I* sharpen the blade - these things kinda give it life if you know what I mean...

Yea, the battlescars on my pulse are awesome.  They are all minor but they make the tool look like the companion it is.  I would be very specific with LM if I were to send it in.  I would just want the broken tool replaced, I could never part with the Pulse.

[Paracord Junky]

honestly, none.  a few items would take longer to replace due to modifications, but i don't EDC anything with real sentimental value.  In my opinion if something's that important then it's no longer a user and should probably be left at home.

I agree to some extent.  Like my PST, I don't love it as an EDC tool because of the lack of locks and the painful grip, but my grandfather gave it to me so it is uber important.  I would never put it in my pocket and break it.

My pulse on the other hand, was not a gift.  I got a smokin' deal on it and had wanted one forever because of what it is.  I love the tool layout, the weight is perfect, the grip is comfortable, I just love the tool.  It's just unfortunate that they don't make it anymore.  I would not be happy leaving it at home because I don't love it for the collectors value, I love it for practical applications.  Does that mean I should leave it at home?  Not in my opinion. 

Soooooo.......If I break it, I'd smurf.   

[Paracord Junky]

that's what i meant.  if a tool has sentimental value to you then you should replace it and keep it in a safe place, but if you just love it because it's a good tool then by all means use it, even if it is discontinued(i prefer to use stuff that's current, though, so i can replace it if needed). 

[turbov21]

Q: Which Knife/SAK/Multitool would you absolutely be lost without if it broke and you had to warranty it?

My Crunch.  As much as I love my Super Tinker and would be emotionally distraught if its blades broke, I can go out and buy another from Wal-Mart.  The Crunch, on the other hand, is a tool I've never see in the stores.  If I had to send it in for warranty, I'd have to lug around my Vicegrip pliers until it came back.

You could do what I did & get a back up/shelf queen Pulse
