Multi Tool Mania ( Leatherman MUT, ST 300, Charge TTI , Wave, Skeletool, Wingman, & Kick )

Let me know what you think of it, for £10 they are a bargain.
Paul Chen produces some very affordable and generally good quality Japanese and Chinese swords The Multitasker was a re-badging I suspect but if both he and Fiskars put their names on them then that’s O.K. by me.
I have a Fiskars X5 Axe that Gerber sell as the Back Paxe II The Multutasker also uses the Gerber slide opening system.

I haven’t hard used it but it’s lasted a couple of years of occasional use around the house and car. When I first got it I gave everywhere on it a good wipe down and lube up with my favourite non-oil, Sentry Solutions Tuf-Glide, it lubricates and leaves a non sticky layer as it evaporates to protect. It’s worked because it’s in as new condition.
The Tuf-Cloth is good as well, basically a cloth in a tub or bag that has Tuf-Glide on it.
The products are not cheap but they work very well.

Been goofing off looking at Swiss Army Knifes…. I ran across this

It’s the SAK Champ

They are a bit costly as SAK’s go… But @ $35 ( New ) I couldn’t pass it up…

I admire my SwissChamp, but I end up carrying my Compact instead. All the tools I actually use in a two layer knife.

Arrived today

Nice ones, how about Climbers photos?

Received this today….

Victorinox spirit with tools set combo is awesome. Some says that it is even better than leatherman newwave and charge tti.

But that is matter of personal preference. I think Victorinox does have better blade materials.

The things aesthetics are off the chart. The workmanship is excellent. But the ease of access for those wanting a ‘one handed’ tool. Just not there.

Yes indeed even Ganzo G301 beats Victorinox in easy of use :)

Apparently SAK/ Victorinox have a almost cult like following. When I rated the Spirit X as poor ease of access… Sphincters tightened around the world. :smiley:

You are correct and they are unreal(or they did not tried others) if claiming different but no matter of poor ease of access for tools it is one hell of a sturdy tool...

If you will want to sell it for decent price PM me.

Sweet, thanks for sharing those, Dale! I have several Victorinox on the way myself. So far I’ve found every model I want in black. I ordered the Explorer and instantly regretted not having the pliers, so I’m looking at either a Champ or Mechanic if I can find one in black. Still loving the Tinker.

Still debating a Victorinox SwissTool/Spirit or the Charge TTi. The Spirit looks beautiful but I would almost be afraid to scratch it, where I don’t seem to mind beating up on my Leatherman tools.

Can’t do that… I’ve been lusting over these things for a year. :slight_smile:

Here’s my collection as of today:
(Finally figuring out the new camera and homemade light box)

My sister makes these great survival kits, and the two odd-balls in the picture were dug out of her kits :slight_smile:

Also don't forget about an excellent Victorinox pocket skinning knife that is used by hunters all around the globe:

It is well worth the money.

But it has almost all necessary tools for regular guy for edc(extra strong saw go through roebuck bone without problems), and wine and beer bottle opener...

I like to Vic’s with extra large and wide blade, slightly wider blade than in the one you posted, luminarium iaculator.

But I do find them a bit pricey :D!

Doing a bit of research… I’m surprised Vic is still using 420 & 440a steel. At those prices you’d think they would have upgraded to S30V steel
