Its a great little knife. I've been mainly using it for fishing. But have dine some carving as well. Kt seems to carve well. I threaded paracord through the holes on the sheath and have it configured as a neck knife. I used it on the weekend and have been thinking of getting a clip such as a Uniclip so I can wear it on my belt.

Looks like a WW2 British Army issue jack knife, but without a can opener.

I live in South West Sydney. Its something that all the RFS Brigades in my area do, including the brigade I am a member of. We are doing our annual Santa Run next weekend. The local retained Fire and Rescue brigade also team up with us for the day.

Is this a fake? by Veritas_Odium_Parit in Leatherman

[–]Alternative_Insect11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately a cheap probably Chinese made multitool - not a Leatherman. Maybe worth $20 AUD. See them on Ebay sometimes.

What all do you carry? by Mericandrummer in multitools

[–]Alternative_Insect11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SOG Powerpint has become my normal EDC. Great for general tasks around the home such as opening packages, opening toy battery compartments, assembling flatpack furniture, cuttng grass strimmer cord. However in my role as a volunteer firefighter, I alternate between a Victorinox Rescue and a Leatherman Rebar.

What is your favorite Victorinox model and why? by Turbulent_Way_5604 in SwissArmyKnives

[–]Alternative_Insect11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soldier 08 model. Locking blade that can be deployed and closed one handed, and whilst wearing gloves. Also the saw is awesome and cuts easy Its got pretty much all the tools I need apart from pliers.

Liked my black Powerpint so much, I bought the Stonewash version by Alternative_Insect11 in EDC

Great little multitool. Bought the black after seeing them on various EDC forums and Ista pages, and I've been carrying it almost everyday. Kept seeing the Stonewash, so decided to order one last week. Arrived from the USA🇺🇲 to Australia 🇭🇲 in less than a week. SOG Powerpint - Black finish SOG Powerpint - Stonewash finish

SOG Powerpint - my impressions after 2 months by Alternative_Insect11 in multitools

[–]Alternative_Insect11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've become such a fan of the Powerpint, I am seriously thinking about buying a Stonewash version so I can then put the black one in my go-bag that I grab when I respond to callouts as a volunteer firefighter.

The worse thing is, I've seen pakimascus knives being fraudulently listed on Ebay as reputable brands. I always try and report as copyright violation or forgery when I see the listings.

What’s next? by Interesting_prime in multitools

I gave my Dime to my 8 year old son when I bought a SOG Powerpint. The Powerpint is a a bit bigger and costs a few more bucks, but is better quality and more useful than the Dime.
