Once more for the Canucks - Schrade ST1 and Folder for $20

[jekostas]

Alright, Canadian Tire has a special on this week for the new version Schrade ST1 and one of the X-Timer folders for $20.  I know the opinions on the Taylor version tend to be very, very low, but it could be a decent price if you needed a large metal brick for any reason.

Speaking of which, picked up ane for my grandfather to keep in his truck. Does anyone know how durable they are? I know the design is crap (multitool), but i doubt it will be carried other than that.

I can't say about the folder, but with them both being Taylor Cutlery Company-made "Schrades," the quality is no where close to the old school Schrade offerings (pre-04).  The real ST1 is actually a decent tool; I have an old second (IIRC) generation ST1 I sometimes carry; with that said, the current "ST1" is really a disappointment, and I've seen several cases on here of poor fit and finishing, and of subpar reviews on it in general. :/  For the price ($20), you'd probably be better off finding a Leatherman Kick on sale.
