Hi folk,
I'm new to the forum but I've read through quite a few posts already. I've always rocked a multitool, SAK back in the day and more recently a Leatherman blast in my bag or a squirt in my pocket. Never something I was passionate about though, just a handy thing to have.
Awhile back I reada review of the Gerber shard, fell in love with it, bought it and now I'm obsessed with one piece multitools. I've been trying to get an Atwood but always miss out on the sale & can't afford the marked up prices on other sites. One day I'll get one. I've got a schrade and a brewzer on the way.
Anyway, I love reading the posts here, keep it up
Cheers
AJ

He is just teasing you

Thats an very old tool
And i dont think that you will find something like that
It shows up on ebay from time to time
And here is one that went for 52$ couple months ago :- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WW2-vintage-Australian-Whittingslowe-No43-knife-tool-/160640479962#ht_832wt_922

Glad to see another Blast lover! The blast is my all time favorite MT all around. I carry one everywhere. But don't let that stop you from enjoying all the other models out there, I didn't. I am still trying new MT's all the time, this site will do that to ya! Welcome, pull up a chair and enjoy yourself!
