I think it needed to be delayed to keep things interesting.

Nah it didn't. Sorry once again for delaying it.

Recieved the box today from Pete.
I was like a kid with a xmas present.
One item in particular took my fancy, so i grabbed it and replaced it with a nice Damascus knife.
Hope someone likes it.
Ill be sending it off to the next lucky guy next week.

Hi All.
Sea Monster picked up the box on Wednesday on his way through.
We had a nice chat and a cuppa before he made his way home through Sydney.

It got me thinking, we should have a few get togethers (for those willing) as we are all similar in many ways with our love of multi tools.

I know many people are reluctant to communicate in person, privacy being a prime drive on the internet.

But meeting at a set safe location (cafe) could be interesting and fun.

Anyhoo
Thanks for including me in this little game of surprise box.

I did indeed enjoy a cup of coffee with Valkie and his wife, which was nice of them as I'd been on the road a few days and probably looked like I hunted backpackers for sport....

I've had a chance to sit down with the box, lots of interesting stuff I'd never seen before, lots to be tempted with.

I've already had a few conversations with myself about the options :P, but I think I'm going to settle on a torch, as it seems I'm always looking for one, having another handy can't hurt!

I've got some rare items* to add to the box....I'm sure we've got more aussies somewhere?


*Rare if you live in Australia, they probably sell them everywhere in the USA, but I've never seen them on the shelf here :P

Sounds like a plan.
I have just started working again for a while to help them out.
But I will be backing off to 3 days a week in a month or two.

Just let me know and If possible Ill be there.

Cheers

Colour me green.
I loved the UK and have visited several times.
However, now being retired, I may never see the old place again in my lifetime.

HEY! Aussies!  :pok: I've still got this box o' treats taking up valuable real estate!

If we can't find some more people who want to get on the surprise box train (woo! woo!) this stuff is going to end up as part of an MT.O sponsored trial and review  :whistle:

Who would ever have imagined it would be so hard to give away free stuff? :dunno:
Somebody really needs to step up and accept this very generous offer from your friends at MTO that assuredly still has plenty of cool stuff in it before Sea Monster sets it on fire or performs some other diabolical experiments on good multitools and knives.  As entertaining as that might be, I would really like to see someone who would appreciate them and use them get a chance at them before that happens.

Hey Aussies, any moment on your box?   Ours is moving along nicely.  It took some time but its enjoying traveling and like the box sent to y'all, its growing.  HAHAHA.   So much for thinking the box would somehow empty.

Split it again and make a Canada box for our friends in the Great White North?
