Help ID this MT? Ganzo Variant?

This looks kind of neat, I like the all blackness and potential compactness of this tool. I like the angles of the handles.

It LOOKS like a Ganzo variant but can anyone confirm this?

If it is a Ganzo, it's one I've never seen before - some of the tool profiles are very different than the other MTs from that company I've ever seen. The saw and can opener especially.

There are some rubber handles that look like a Suspension variant.

Maybe it's a suspension/ganzo lovechild. a Suspenzo?

I've got one. There's no "compactness" about it, that's for sure.

Fat steel washers between each blade make it quite a bit chunkier than it needs to be. Overall quality is better than some, worse than many. Other than the blackness, there's not much to get excited about. $:-\$

Damn. I guess my BO Wave will have to do for ninja MT.

A BO Wave is waaaaaaaaay better than this tool IMO.

I thought so Bob.

I have been looking for a host for a 'MT cleaning/maintenance' mod/tool. I may have to actually make my own from scratch....

The Ganzos I have have some letters on the pliers, around the pivot. Does yours have any or is it smooth on both sides;
Check the review section; I have some pictures of two-three models there.

As a sidenote, most Johnnie Walker advertising "gifts¨tend to be decent.

I don't actually have one. I am just seeing if anyone had any opinions so I can decide to get it or not. Seems like the consensus is no

Ganzo multitools are not as good as Ganzo knives.
If you want a Ganzo you can get these for the same or less money (note the free shipping):

http://www.exduct.com/Special-Limited-Products/SP-2015PB-Ganzo-Multi-Tool.html
http://www.exduct.com/Special-Limited-Products/SP-2012MU-3in1-Multi-Tool-Set.html
The tool included in the latter package is surprisingly decent.

Personally, I would buy the one you are asking about just for the Johnnie Walker label on it.

I doubt that it would be a Ganzo.
The shipping seems a bit steep though.

I would be looking at the Johnnie one, it seems unique. BUT after some decision, I am not going to do it.

as someone said "Why stop now?"
Its only money, right?

HAHA

that applies to making mods....or stuff.

Even thought it's tempting, there just isn't enough benefit to having it! I just won a Gerber eFECT on eBay. That can be my MT modding/cleaning/maintenance tool.

Thanks for the advice!
