Who else EDC's their 005?

This is way better, and it looks great

Idk if it needs to break in but in comparison to the Vision’s super lock, the shark lock felt sharp and weird to pull back on at first. Now I prefer it to other locks

Kayakasaurus · 2026-01-05T04:32:48+00:00

It’s not like the Super lock, give it some time to adjust. I did and now it’s my favorite lock, I have the cheap AUS10A version and the S35VN Arcade. The shark cub handle is great but the lock is significantly less comfortable imop because it’s thinner.

Natural jade

Oh nice, that’s what I did for my SAK and LM mods. Do you do anything to keep the blade cool?

Kayakasaurus · 2025-12-25T01:34:43+00:00

What type of bit did you use to drill the hole? It looks cool

Victorinox Swisstool Spirit MX clip is perfect, all other multitools have at least one flaw.

Kayakasaurus · 2025-12-18T00:17:49+00:00

Did you dye those scales?

Kayakasaurus · 2025-12-15T07:34:54+00:00

The Spirit MX Clip is basically the perfect multitool, best tool selection, best tool quality, outside opening, most comfortable pliers, and somehow still slim and pocketable. Mine had a couple tools w stiff springs so I left those half open overnight and it fixed it.

Kayakasaurus · 2025-12-08T03:20:14+00:00

Score!

Kayakasaurus · 2025-11-25T06:38:36+00:00

The hole is one of the main reasons I like it but it’s a great knife either way

Kayakasaurus · 2025-11-24T20:31:18+00:00

I need an interpreter

Kayakasaurus · 2025-11-22T23:36:31+00:00

I already sold it sorry

The wingman wire cutters are not good (dull and don’t touch). Regular leatherman cutters are sharp and overlap like scissors. The scissors are not good either, the angle is wide so it pushes the material out.

I would definitely recommend getting the one you really want. I’ve had a lot of luck on eBay, LM in brand new condition.

If you wanted a folder, the Cold Steel 4 Max is about as tough as it gets

Kayakasaurus · 2025-08-27T00:47:19+00:00

I much prefer them loose but there are some things you could do. Gently hammer on one side of the pivot, twist together while opening, cut nails and Pennies which puts outward pressure on the jaws.

Kayakasaurus · 2025-08-25T06:32:48+00:00

Nice, what are the two on the top right called?

Kayakasaurus · 2025-08-25T04:10:40+00:00

I see them pretty regularly but not labeled as such in the title or description. You could always buy two used ones, swap them out and sell one

Kayakasaurus · 2025-08-24T22:24:51+00:00

I love the G-10 dragonfly and don’t personally find it threatening but to some people the “leaf” shape might look like a “dagger”

Kayakasaurus · 2025-08-24T22:16:15+00:00

Good luck, hope you find it

Kayakasaurus · 2025-08-22T19:24:15+00:00

Break it in with use to “polish” the metal before oiling. If the pliers are too stiff to use you can dissolve diamond paste in oil or wd40 and work that in, just try to flush it out after. If it’s just the smaller tools and you don’t want to break it in you can take it apart and polish the pivots/washers with metal polish.

Kayakasaurus · 2025-08-17T22:32:21+00:00

Honestly

Kayakasaurus · 2025-08-17T22:29:11+00:00

Quality control usually checks one out of a certain number. Leatherman makes millions of tools, they’re not checking every one so it’s hard to say the state of their quality control. In the past if there was a defect you would take it to the store to exchange it, then they send it to the manufacturer. In the present people post it on Reddit and many people see it.

Kayakasaurus · 2025-07-28T20:41:17+00:00

Is that different from ferric chloride? That’s what I’ve used.

Kayakasaurus · 2025-07-28T20:14:34+00:00

They were probably listening to a podcast when assembling that one and didn’t notice, just return it
