I had to go through this thread several times thinking I already posted in here...but I guess I missed this one all these years.

Here are my Blasts. I really like this family of Kick, Fuse, and Blast. At first I wasn't all that keen on the zytel liners, but they do grow on you over time.

Great collection :o :like:

I love the Canon ones and have yet to track down one at a reasonable price :facepalm: Probably won't at this point :ahhh

The Zytel is rather good at making the handles more comfortable but most people don't think it will hold up over time and therefore cheapens it and probably the main reason for the discontinuation  :-\

I did a double-take when I saw the second picture, because the file blended in with the woven pattern!

One of my favorites. Probably my favorite LM of those that came out after 2000.

The Blast is a great tool, my favorite of the Zytel tools and the first Leatherman I actually bought for myself (my PST was inherited)  :like:

It has one of the best toolsets for me and when  I bought mine it was at least $20 cheaper than the Wave but had almost the exact toolset minus a serrated blade :dd:

Great pic as well :like:

I'm often tempted to ask what knife is in your pics, then I remember how much I spent on knives during/after the Dean Challenge.  :ahhh

Nice one, buddy!

I am not quite happy with my Free P4, which I carry on the weekends. I have been kicking around the thought of whether to get an ARC (which probably won't be any better to me than the P4) or to put a clip on my Charge and carry it. However, after seeing this post I am seriously thinking about putting my Kick clip on my Blast and making it my weekend MT.

Thanks Adam :hatsoff: The ARC is better than the P4 ;) but for the price it may not be worth it :salute: I would get a clip for the Charge for sure 8) it is an awesome tool and I think you would like to carry it :woohoo: :D I do have a soft spot for Blasts though and clip or no clip it, would make an awesome weekend or even work carry (well for me anyways) ;) :D

Not that you asked, but I vote Blast. I may start carrying mine on weekends along with you.

Or, would there be interest in the midlman challenge? There’s no blast specific challenge outside do that.

I went ahead and put my spare clip on the Charge and slipped it into my pocket. But I do think that the Blast will work even better for me on the weekends when I am on Grandpa duty  :D
