I’m still waiting for those EMT shears and hoping they’ll be a good addition to my first aid kit.
I’m using mine to make a diagonal cut on the end of 550 paracord so that I can melt it and shape it into a point to get it through tight spots when cord wrapping knife handles. If they’ll cut paracord at a steep angle I think they’ll be fine for your EMT needs, they have one blade serrated and one bevelled so once you start a cut it grips the material and doesn’t stip as much as plain edges would.
I like this ‘lightning’ carbon fibre with copper thread. I can’t help imagine it will be like a floppy friction folder in practice…
Be a great start for a really thick bladed friction folder!
Some of the YouTube channels, Tuffthumbz mostly, were complaining about working with the Lightning Strike carbon fibre because it leaves tiny spikes of copper if you aren’t very careful about finishing, the more you sand it smooth the more the copper wires appear and the more you have to sand.
I’m not a great fan of Carbon Fibre but the Uni-directional can make interesting “contour map” lines on knife scales.
I still use the Navy 2001 Atwood knockoff on my keychain. I gave my Gerber Shard to a friend because the missus said she didn’t like it on the keychain.
This Nite Ize keychain tool looks interesting. It’s in the same price range as most of the tools here except with 2 day Prime shipping if you live in the USA.
I like the name. ^^ I think it’s not good placement of the spring clip, for bottle opening and as a nut opener (Wrench? Spanner?). Though most of these tools don’t look very comfortable to use.
The neat little pry tool with the measurements marked off on it, with the notched “wrench” in the middle? Not original, I’ve had one exactly like that since the late 1980’s. Not wearing the EDC name though.
I don’t have one of these neat pry bars so I have to ask:
should I order a standard one http://www.aliexpress.com/item/EDC-Tool-Stainless-Steel-MINI-Pry-Bar-FREE-SHIPPING/1596457018.html
Or something else which is more fancy?
I have a huge heavy foldingknife (in leopard style) which I got for two dollar in my maxpedition bag so I have something to abuse and pry but you know you can never have enough of this stuff…
I guess it depends. Do you think you would use a pry bar with the extra features (e.g. bottle opener, wrench)? For me it will just sit in the tool box with my other tools, so I don’t mind a plain simple bar.
The original CountyComm Widgy pry bars are made from heat treated D9 steel, the EDC ones are stainless steel, I haven’t compared one for one but both will save a broken knife blade.

And for titanium fans here’s an ebay search.
Titanium goodies.
I found the original carbon fibre key holder on Kickstarter, called ‘Switchy’:

Does anyone know what these two cutaways might be for?

Ahh, thank you! ^^

Elishewitz Custon Creations
Reminds me of burnt woodgrain, it’s all carbon.
Elishewitz starts at $650 for linerlocks so I’m out of the target market segment. 
why no? why crying?

That’s nice. ^^
See post #20 about kitten tails. ;_;

Hmmm good point. In the photo it looks like it’s just begging to trap your finger. I’m not sure I’m ready to be called ‘lefty’ quite yet.

I wonder about the runtime and the weird “don’t use rechargeable batteries” warning.
Looks like a Glo-Toob. I wonder how it compares…

A classic design then!
I saw this on DX, like the Böker Vox Access tool. Looks perfect for ruining your nails. :bigsmile:
‘Faux-Toob’ missing its insides, for storage (??). I like that it has authentic Taobao url but the aluminium threaded section seems a strange choice:
Some interesting pocket tools here
Chloe. If your ever in Australia please feel free to visit my daughter. I think you know why?
She would love to do your nails.

Plugging for missymups now? Shameless!
That shade of pink looks a bit off. Therefore those nails can’t be Chloe’s.

Counterfeit 18650s, 2,<a href=“http://
The DX watermark and lack of sliced tomatoes (and the state of the nails) told me it couldn’t be Chloe’s fingers.
Speaking of tomatoes, could we get another fun tomato massacre? :bigsmile:

Oh, I have started growing tomatoes, baby plum tomatoes. ^^ But not for massacring! They are too cute, little plants growing… (pic added)
I didn’t know this site. They seem to have a lot of CountyComm stuff. It would be funny if they started selling EDCGear! :bigsmile:

Be sure to check your tomato crop carefully for caterpillars. :bigsmile:
O_O is that a caterpillar?! I am growing them inside. Caterpillars scare me. :ghost:
