I knew my wife was a keeper when she transitioned from calling it a knife thingy to a multi-tool.

I concur completely; best of all, at least for me is, that because of the "butter blade" it is not frowned upon as my other tools are when seen.  :iagree: :like:
:iagree:

In my case I prefer using a stand alone PE blade so having the butter blade on my Spirit compliments it perfectly

I have a Tread LT on the way for an upcoming cruise. The knife/tool rules on this line are very restrictive. Interested to see how it does!

I don't collect OPTs--I use them. Thus, the various figural tools were something I only recently got interested in, as I liked the shapes, and knew they were often not really functional.

I was recently looking at small pliers-based tools lately, and this popped up.

It's a pack of three probably pretty crappy generic OPTs for $10. What got me interested was that the big one is in the shape of a heavy wrecker. Guessing it was originally produced for a company who makes tow trucks. This will be going in the collection.





They did a really crappy Photoshop job--taking out one of the rear wheels of the wrecker in the first photo. This one is correct. However, unlike many others, I think the positioning of some of the tools may actually make it usable. Not pocketable, as the Phillips in the position of the rear stabilizer "spades" makes it pointy as heck.

I will be trying the other two, even though I fully expect them to be crap.






Also, a couple of Cuz dog balls. About the only thing that isn't Kong that I've had any dog get more than a year out of. My dog got three out of his (even though he ripped the squeaker out--as always), and had lost, not destroyed it.

I had some Reward & Recognition vouchers from work (they don't like giving us money  ::)) I chose vouchers from 'Not On The High St'

https://www.notonthehighstreet.com/ (just type Victorinox into the search bar if you're so inclined  :dunno:)

So, instead of £85.99 it only cost me £20.99

This just a shot from their website and mine is personalised accordingly  ;)

As for the strikes (various) I shall not be affected as I use my 'steel horse' to and from.

You chose very well. I'm not a big fan of gold, but I must admit that looks really good!

They do two finishes a dark/used look brass and the natural finish.

I chose natural as I want to see how the patina develops  :dunno:

Well it’s kinda a multitool, does more work then a multitool, anyway the Mrs will be home soon, we have to go get her from the hospital, she’s been in since Wednesday, she’s had a few problems, one in which she’s had before and will be back to norm, but another which has to take care of by a specia1ist, the funny thing is she had an appointment Friday to see one but had to cancel it since she was in the hospital,, soo, talk about screwed up! But she’ll be home and under very careful limitations, so me and the kid will be doing most of the work..

Haven't had much, on order, for a while lately but I'm now waiting on a fairly large order of paracord beads to come in.
Hopefully tomorrow or Tuesday I'll be my usual Grumpy again, just with 40 something additional beads.

From Buck’s special listing two mail Knick 112s and a BBW nail Knick Muddy Girl.  Three total are to arrive Friday per tracking of USPS.

Nice group!

I didn't even know Buck made a nail-notch version of the BBW. Guessing it was originally for countries that don't allow one-hand opening?  I'm thinking about getting one, as the first 285 I bought had its thumb stud come loose and start spinning around within a year; and it's also cheaper than the standard BBW, so I'll be going for one most likely.

Thank you Cody!

I suspected a box or teo were discovered tucked away. Build dates in 2020 for the knives IIRC.   Actually like the profile of the blades minus studs.
The dark brown Micarta SS Pro is very sweet. The SSRed is a backup to my EDC 112 SS Red, panicked a while back when I misplaced.
The 284 BBW is my favorite Bantam size, but I grab any Muddy Girl Color scheme when found.  Just luv the colors.  :drool:

When I tried to order a second blue Alox Bantam from Swiss Knife Shop, I was told it was a limited run that wouldn't be repeated. However, they were going to be releasing a green Alox Bantam. Out of pure FOMO, I ordered two: one to keep awl nice and pretty and the other to carry. Picture is from Swiss Knife Shop, of course.

Not an edc but a good deal! I absolutely love these things, and normally there like $1 anywhere, unless sometimes on sale, yet last night the Mrs looked online on Amazon and they had them for a whole pack of 30 for only $15, so 50¢ each, now that’s a steal! So needless to say she bought me a pack of them, I have a 30 pack of watermelon coming my way, those are the ones I like.. now if you like all sorts of diff flavors, they had the whole box on sale for $17, and you get 100, that’s like 17¢ a freaking lollipop, talk about a deal! But I don’t like all the diff flavors..

I've got a 711L, ratchet wrench, for my PowerPint that's supposedly on the way.  Tracking says it's in the US, but anything else is unknown.
