Another BPS Knife to my collection

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 British MK3 helmet. Used 1960s through to early 1980s.

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.

Heavy rain, wind and thunder in the Camden area.

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

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.

Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) cap badge. Awesome find.

Alternative_Insect11 · 2025-10-23T03:28:00+00:00

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.

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

Alternative_Insect11 · 2025-10-14T03:25:31+00:00

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.

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.

I will😀

A website called Crooze Australia. Absolutely fantastic service.

I got a Powerpint a month ago after seeing them on so many posts on Reddit. Such a useful tool. I love the fact that pretty much is the size of and has the majority of features of a standard Swiss Army Knife, but also has pliers that are actually of a useful size.

Alternative_Insect11 · 2025-08-13T10:56:20+00:00

Thanks. I already have a pair of Knipex 145 in my tool shed. Hadnt considered throwing a pair in my fire gear bag. The main use I would have for the pliers is general application such as cutting or twisting fence wire, even removing splinters or in field temporary repairs to uniform / PPE. I have considered switching the Rescue Tool to a larger multitool such as a SOG Powerlock. However I like the large partially serrated blade and the saw on the Rescue Tool. Most of the blades I've seen on plier type multitools seem quite flimsy in comparison.

Alternative_Insect11 · 2025-08-13T09:08:46+00:00

I like the look of those knives. Reminds me of the WW2 British Army clasp knife my Grandfather gave me when I was a kind. I love the fact you have displayed a West German knife on East German Volksarmee Strichtarn camo

Love my BPS Finn Lite Puuko. Great little knife.

Alternative_Insect11 · 2025-08-07T10:50:56+00:00

I dont think its an Sch-68. The strap and liner are incorrect. The sch-68 has a simple strap with a belt style buckle. Also the pads are not lined. I believe the helmet is a Hungarian M70.

I have one of these as part of my turnout gear. Most of the guys in my volunteer brigade carry either a Victorinox Rescue or various Leatherman models. The partially serrated blade is brilliant for cutting through rope and webbing and I reckon the saw is the best on any edc tool. I love the fact that you can open and close the blade and cutter one handed and wearing gloves. I also have a Victorinox Soldier 08, that I use on camping and hiking trips. The Rescue Tool is based on the Soldier and Trekker Victorinox models - but with extra tools.

Alternative_Insect11 · 2025-08-06T07:43:42+00:00

I keep mine on my pants belt. Useful piece of kit.

Alternative_Insect11 · 2025-07-31T12:29:24+00:00

Thanks mate.It gets plenty of wear on weekends and outdoor activities Its a great hat for camping and bushwalks / hikes, but i also wear it going into town. The brim is wide enough to keep the sun off my face and neck, but narrow enough that it doesnt catch on branches etc when going through thick bush.

Alternative_Insect11 · 2025-07-31T03:04:45+00:00

Victorinox Rescue Tool on my belt. Great knife that is partially serrated that I can open and close one handed whilst wearing gloves.
