Nice one GF.  I have always like the Manager and the newer led made it even better option for my daily carry.  While I really like the MiniChamp I found for daily carry the Manger to edge out the MC, with the LED, even more so. 

The pen is always clutch.  I'd imagine a pin would send me over the top.

I've been looking for a 1977 Soldier for my son - his birth year - and just got one from a gent on EBay. Pretty nice shape except for the knife tip that's a little bent and needs re-profiling and sharpening. Excited to refurb it for him.

I am really liking it and think it will find it's way into most kits I throw together. My only criticism is that if you deploy the pen before extending the file, the little plastic nub can easily scrape against the file surface. That's a little thing though and now I know it happens, easily avoided.

Good score. Hope your son will like it...I'm still on the hunt for mine.

I'm pretty sure they did. My birth year is in between yours and PNGeezer's son's, too.

Nice stuff.  I used a condor molle gadget pouch for a while then moved it to my work belt.  Its a nice inexpensive pouch.  The one on the left looks similar.

My t-shirt came in, took a pic of both the front and back, there’s 424 names on there and I’m one of them!

My shirts I ordered finally came in, I spotted something online that an old couple was wearing and they had two baseball jerseys on but for the names they kinda switched things up, and for the numbers they kinda also did a little something, so when they were walking side by side it was perfect, so since the Mrs and I walk a lot and she’s always on my right side I went ahead and had two custom made to fit us, and I wanted that old school look with the old numbers and the pinstripes, but not black and white, a little off color, and I didn’t wan that plastic iron on number so I spent a little extra, but here’s what I got, of course when I started taking the pic I saw the Xmas table placemats and thought, hmm, lol..

Great shirts, JR, and congratulations to you and Mrs. MP on your life's ride; may this 24th anniversary bring you both continuous health and happiness. :cheers:

Not as cool but, pretty cool: my Victorinox ratchet has arrived and I'm now able to experience it... :woohoo:

Why thank you,, it’s been one very HARD journey! And for some reason for whatever we’ve had thrown at us which would normally split couples apart we’ve seem to hold on and make a stronger bond. Don’t get me wrong there’s those days where we both want to :twak: each other but by the end of the day everything is  :tu:

Thanks for sharing a tidbit of your life with us (me) but rest assured that, as we say here: " what does not kill you will only make you stronger" so, again, happy 24th pal!

BTW, are you still riding the 'cumbent bike!?!? It looked quite fun! :2tu:

It’s been a while, I couldn’t get to it right now if I wanted, it’s in a two car garage all the way in the back along with her trike, and our kid dumped allll of his stuff in for storage, I must say it was fun going out on some rides with her since she’s never ridden a bike before, thus the trike, but maybe after winter and it starts warming up if and when we get some time we can go for a few rides? Hopefully all the kids stuff will be out by then :whistle:

Mora Robust... It feels awesome in hand, very balanced.
And Ruike LD41... What a freaking monsters for a guy used to SAK's... Steel liners make it very very heavy. Nicely constructed overall, but the pliers are not very well placed and the blade had a smaller than a 1mm chip... Not bad for the price, but I'm curious to compare it with a 111mm SAK

The ship is now gone with a little bit of stone work! And much more sharpen blade!
The thing was that it was my 2nd time sharpening a big blade with a stone, and accidental scratches got the blade.
Any tips for side scratch removing?
