Interesting stuff Dave, thanks for posting. Not sure when I'll get to it, but do you mind if your picture gets used in a future Multitool Encyclopedia article?
Looks like my NATO one has the same number as yours (Image removed from quote.)
Great stuff Dave Your a lucky guy I know the 5110 meens hand tools , but why doesnt my RAF Vic Hunter start with that No wait my vic hunter should have 5110 on it but it isnt the whole Nato stock number but rather the Section/Reference number, So my Vic says 27C/7018504 on the blade but the NSN is 5110-99-701-8504. They aren't RAF or they would be pre-fixed by 27C/Multimats rather nice Australian Army Swisstool reads 5110-25-1475018 also with the broad arrow so I would say it doesnt necessarily meen yours are British although you bought one from a squaddie so that one obviously is .I suppose Canadien military stamp theres with the broad arrow too ? Thanks for sharing Dave Dunc
Correct me if I'm Wrong, but isn't the "^" also used by former british colonies/protectorates?
I received another Core from Nuphoria today as part of a trade, and it too has the NATO markings as in the op.So I have two again now Dunc
Hang on Dunc - you've already got one? Did you part with it?
Which NATO countries issued the Core? I'd never heard of that. You learn something new everyday. I can't imagine the US Military issuing MT's on a large scale though. It would have been nice but when I was in if you wanted something like that you bought it yourself. From what I read on various forums it still seems to be the same. That might change from individual unit to unit though.1Jump2Many

They issued him a Gerber MT too. But I think that was just that particular unit. I don't know what model Gerber it was.1Jump2Many
