That is awesome. Did you make all of those? Back in the day when I had more time and was closer to the woods I use to make walking sticks out of white oak.... I got to get into that again.
Yes/no
One I found in a parking lot waaaay back in the day when I was working, it was leaning in a shopping cart return, I said maybe someone forgot it so I’ll leave it till I left, well I left and totally forgot it, amazingly the next day I showed up to work and it was still there, so I snatched it up, the only thing is I had to strip it and size it, I then stained it, and put about 15 coats on it, then a leather grip, the only thing is it took over 15yrs for me to finish by drilling a hole through for a wrist strap, I sooo didn’t want to, others include a total heavy duty staff with all the trimmings made from a replacement rake handle, there is one I did buy but it was just a staff, I put all the trimmings on it including fishing line, razor blades, mini hack saw blade, zip ties, a ruler marked up the side, and a very nice compass on the top, two others include just simple hockey sticks, we live across the street from a hockey rink and a few people would break them and just toss them in the trash, we’ll I’d take the tape off and sand the crap out of them then sand them, I got about 6 more of those I can still do, there’s a simple cane, but the last one is a very special one, I had it flown from Arizona, its a piece of a saguaro cacti, absolutely so light weight but so strong, I shaped it, then smoothed it out, stained it and painted a little something above the handle, and put a bunch of layers over, for a grip I used a leather string, soaked it, then wrapped it idk how many times very tight, my hands were killing me, my arthritis was through the roof! But it dried and tightened even better!
I recently had to trim our maple tree and when so I got the perfect branch for a staff, so now it’s sitting in the garage loft drying out, I just checked it today since we were out in the garage, I got to strip the bark soon,, if you have any questions on any don’t hesitate!

Hello fellow MT.oers; hope everyone's in good health. For my part, and my mother's (since I'm her caretaker), we've become statistics for the COVID (both doing well, with mild cold symptoms my mom).
Anyhow, here's my latest; another Multiplier!!!!, this time a Pro Scout variant!!!

You mean the stone sling? The blue one I didn’t make but I modified, underneath the paracord handle is a razor blade, fish hooks, fish line, zip-ties, and a few other things, at the top is a special compass, it’s not just round is like a ball and so freaking on point, but yeah I made the sling into a wrist strap, very comfortable, I did the same for that other one you see with a neon green one, but the stick is just a simple heavy duty rake handle, I’ve used that one a few times with the dog tossing tennis balls in a field, great distance!

Another new toy for me today, a Charge TTi from a fellow member of a UK Facebook Leatherman group.

I like it, but I’m not sure I’m going to love it.

Picked up a SAK Mechanic and Classic (both with Sapphire Jelly Scales) They arrived yesterday but I was at my delivery buddy's house and the signal there is, well...rubbish.

The Compact helped unwrap the package  :tu:

 :facepalm:

I did receive in the mail today a older Stockman.   Identified as a Camillus model 67. Though the top of the stamp 7 is to light to see. But a 61 was not made from my research.

If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

We just bought “AIR” besides a little pen pressure gauge for the kid to toss in his cars toolbox, but “air” what ever happened to going down to the local gas station to fill up your bikes tires for free? Yeah some places charge like 50¢ for idk how long but you gotta rush if your going to attempt to do all four tires, it’s just as bad as a car wash, but $2.00? Un-freaking-real! Only plus side was you got 5 whole min of air time! Like wow, but still what happened to rolling down to the local mechanic, tire shop, or gas station for free air? Nuts!
Hey I bet this isn’t claimed on taxes, any way to make a buck! Although it took a credit card.. not that I’m slipping it through..

Leatherman meets Bosch

Nothing fancy, but I got a new metal blade for my Surge today. Unlike the wood blade, I wanted the metal blade to be short enough to be able to fold it without having to take it off (for convenience at work).

The idea about the long wood blade was to have a fully sized saw in my hiking backpack. Ideally the teeth should face the opposite way, but it works.

While we're at it, I've had the ratchet driver for about 8 months now and I absolutely love it. With Bosch bits attached (obviously), the Surge is truly a workhorse with all it's possibilities.  :salute:
