Title: More knives Post by JeffH on Jul 28th, 2004 at 9:40pm
Here is a pic of most of my small, but utilitarian and much used collection:
http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4d909b3127cceb360b6b3f57f0000001610 Top: Camp Scissors - scissors, knife, wrench, bottle opener, saw, wire stripper, etc. I use this to cut all my thinner leather items. It comes apart into two to use most of the extras Top Row: 1-Old Timer 18OT; small, light single blade with bolster lock. I used to carry this every day until I got my leatherman Micra. 2-Leatherman Micra; Carry this every day, got it for $4 on ebay by buying a "lot" of 10. Got them for family for Christmas last year. 3-Old Timer 60T; passed on from family member, never used, three blade "stockman" style. 4-Old Timer 194OT; single blade with bolster lock, larger version of 18OT. (Got them at the same time) With leather sheath I made. 5-Opinel #8 with leather sheath I made for it. I absolutely love this knife. Like the Old Timers, it has good steel that will hold an edge. 6-SUPERKNIFE with sheath I made for it. This uses replacable utility blades. It has a bolster lock. Great knife, everybody should get one. Bottom row: 1-Pock-Its sheath; holds flashlight and leatherman tool and accessories and batteries. 2-Leatherman original with sheath. Great tool! 3-Leatherman Wave with sheath. Greateast Tool!! 4-Craftsman multitool with sheath. Made by Schrade (who also makes Old Timer knives). This is a massively strong tool with a good selection of sub-tools. Bottom: Butcher knife that was being thrown away. I use this for chopping duties in the yard that are not big enough for an axe. I serves as a small machete. I carry the Leatharman Micra every day in my pocket to the office and church. When I am working around the yard, house or anywhere building something, I carry the Leatherman wave and Superknife. I keep the Leatherman Original in the Pock-its with a flashlight by the bedside in case of night time emergencies. I carry the Craftsman (Schrade) tool in my satchel to work. I use the Opinel for finer work befitting its noble heritage. I'm not so much a collector as a user. I like to use stuff, and knives come in right handy! Jeff <>< |

Love the leathermans! Greatest tool innovation since man first whacked a tree with a sharp rock.
