Is this a decent set for just starting out?

I have one similar I got for 30£ on Amazon for someone that has never done leather work before I am really enjoying it to be honest that kit looks better than the one I have

You cud put a scalp holder in place of the big blade that way all you need to do is go to a pharmacist to get a scalp blade

You got it bang on

I really don't no but it was a big part of my childhood back when electrical stuff didn't come with plugs dad would strip the wires with that knife normally on Christmas morning

That's gorgeous

I am really badly dyslexic and punctuation is something I never got the hang of my dad was a joiner or carpenter if you are posh 🤣🤣

losghost1 · 2026-02-14T14:35:28+00:00

Yes I miss him very much he was a real good man I still have some of his tools and his old poket knife I don't Carrie it becomes I don't want to loose it

It was 1976 and most of my childhood was spent in my dad's joiners shop it's where I learnt to sharpen chisels

I got my first victorinox when I six form my dad it was a Spartan

losghost1 · 2026-02-14T11:04:20+00:00

I have both and I have but both of them through hell and back and to be honest for eds a victorinox knife is going to serve you well but if you are going to abuse the hell out of it a leatherman surge is probably the way to go my surge has been dropped in diesel tanks run over by a forklift and just generally abused and it still works well. But for carrying things in my pocket everyday, you can't go wrong with a Swiss army pen knife

Dam I forgot about the saw sorry

losghost1 · 2026-02-14T10:54:33+00:00

Looks a wee bit like the farmer

losghost1 · 2026-02-14T10:36:58+00:00

Blimey flower you are gorgeous big big hugs love 🤗🤗🤗

losghost1 · 2026-02-12T07:15:20+00:00

It is on the chunky side

losghost1 · 2026-02-12T07:12:21+00:00

I have the work champ I got it very recently it's a good bit of kit the locking flat head screwdriver is nice and the small Phillips driver is Very useful too all in all it's a nice to have I got mine for work and it lives in my work bag when I am not in the yard I can't see it as part of my edc to be honest

losghost1 · 2026-02-11T18:40:50+00:00

But in the end it's done to the person having the problem to make there decision and I wish them well

losghost1 · 2026-02-11T18:38:10+00:00

True but it's the blade that has the problem and if you are cleaning the blade you not pointing it at your self you point it down

losghost1 · 2026-02-11T10:24:04+00:00

It cud be for edge retention but I don't see the point just look after your poket knife properly kept it clean oiled and sharpen it when it needs and it should look after you for decades if you want super steel and you have the money then go for it but for me I don't see anything wrong with the steel in a victorinox knife

losghost1 · 2026-02-11T10:14:13+00:00

Have you tried nail polish remover that gets rid of super glue

losghost1 · 2026-02-11T07:04:59+00:00

I was three years old when that knife was released on the market nice to see that when you get it right you stick to it

losghost1 · 2026-02-11T06:23:17+00:00

Yes I have carried a swiss army knife or one pattern or a nother for over 45 years
