Well, I came to the conclusion that I'm becoming an MP600 fan...atic; a NIB Pro Scout made it to "the collection"!   :facepalm: :like:

Sometimes your mind plays tricks on you. Sometimes you accidentally (or not) convince yourself that something "doesn't count" when it absolutely should!

What do I mean?

Well, earlier this year I started a thread about buying my first pliers-based multitool because I had never had one before. I ended up buying a Leatherman Curl which I have very mixed feelings about.

But it turns out that I had already owned a pliers-based multitool for 25 years or so. But in my mind it "didn't count" for some reason. I guess because I always kept it in my guitar bag. I found that this tool was handy for little guitar maintenance tasks and just kept it in an old bag with guitar strings, picks, polishing cloths, and other guitar supplies.

Today, I was digging in the guitar bag and pulled it out. For some reason, I looked at it in a whole new light...

So, apparently, I am not a super smart man. I have owned a pliers-based multitool since the late 90s or so. I purchased this with one of my first paychecks from the hardware store I was working at after school when I was 16 (I think?). I never carried or used it much except what I described above, that I came to think of it as my "guitar tool" and kept it with my guitar stuff. It has stayed in my guitar bag all these years and I've never used it for anything else.

The weird thing is that if someone had asked me if I owned a multitool in all those years, I would have said "No, I don't" without hesitation or any intent to deceive or lie. For some reason it just... didn't count.  :think:  :dunno:

At any rate, I believe I bought this Gerber in 1998 when I was 16 years old. It is marked as made in the USA and patent pending, etc. I think (?) it's an MP600, or maybe the predecessor to the MP600. But I thought I would post it here and I'm sure y'all will let me know if it is a different model.

Either way, it's in great shape, the sharp tools are very sharp, and the pliers still slide in and out of the handles with ease. Just thought I would share!

Well, I guess that's what happens when it sits in its pouch in a bag and only gets used a few times per year.... for 25+ years!

So... is it a MP600?

Also, I think I like this tool better than the brand new Leatherman Curl that managed to put a deep gouge in it's own pliers head just by opening and closing it a couple of times...

I'm no Gerber expert by a very long shot, but I believe you have the Multiplier, which is the predecessor of the MP600.

Oh no, I’ve posted in the wrong thread!

That makes sense though. I was never aware of any model number or name. It was just “a Gerber.”

It had been a while, and decided to show once again the one that started my black oxide collection and first true EDC; this is my modified MP600 Basic, after doing gardening chores ( pulling vines from trimmer's head, pulling weeds from trimmer's head and pots, cutting dried banana leaves, cutting branches and saplings, cutting trimmer line and wire) and, its sheath (loving it for its quick deployment, small footprint, ease of use and, since it has the 2.25" clip, how I can clip it at my pant's waist).
