new stuffs:

this is the first one i've run across since i've been keeping an eye out (for a few years) that was a true left handed model so i sold my current carry knife to pay for this one.





Next up, I've been wanting a swiss army knife for a while and after much deliberation I found one that had the tools that would suit my needs. I can't necessarily say I'll use all of them but I know for sure each one could possibly be used at some point or another.




Also, I've been looking into getting a new multi-tool since the one I had before was pure bollocks when it came to using the pliers. The way it folded out left hardly any surface area for your hands when squeezing down. The design of the Gerber actually pushes the pliers out of the handle instead of swinging it around so you have 100% positive surface area to grip down. I'm not totally decided on whether I'm going to continue to carry this or not but since I've been carrying it for a few weeks I have used it quite a bit so it will probably stay.




and last but certainly not least, a light. I've been wanting to get a good light that was bright yet compact and here it is. I bought a G3 from cabela's but it was too big to carry. So naturally I found a G2 body online and stuck the lamp from the g3 into the g2 so that I can have an excuse to upgrade the G3 lamp to a cree LED. anyway...



Oh yeah. And I sold my G34 and have a G19 on the way. It should be much easier to carry and much less of a hassle to conceal. Pics of the G19 when it comes in. :bigok:

And I sold my 1911. Initially I sold it to pick up a couple AK kits to build a rifle and pistol kit but I told the wife I sold it try to pay off my truck sooner and she called my bluff and told me to make sure I buy a money order for my truck payment. That'll happen soon, just not as soon as I'd hoped. :rofl: wned:

 

wow theres a lot of numbers that i have no clue what they mean

 

 

I used to have


and


(except they were needlenose)

i miss them :wtc: That gerber was SICK.

 

I have the needle nose one like this too. It stays in my tackle box though.

 

That is a nice knife, I usually carry an easy open quarter serrated. I stopped pocketing the multi, as i never use it.

What was the price on the knife?

 

I paid 130. The guy said it was used and it is a 2000 model but I don't see any noticeable usage or even carry wear. They're 220 on Emerson's site and I've never seen any left handed models anywhere but there. That's why I jumped on it when I saw a used one. I hated to sell my Microtech I'd been carrying but the Emerson is more of a "user" so I don't mind the trade off.

 

not a fan of leatherman?

 

Leatherman doesn't have a blunt tip multi-tool that I know of.

Also, as stated above, the design of the Gerber vs. that of the Leatherman lends more positive clamping force with the pliers. That's to say, the leatherman's tools fold outward from the handle (so if you're squeezing the handle you're squeezing onto the tools and also empty space) whereas the tools on the gerber fold from the inside so you're only grabbing bare metal whenever you're squeezing.

It's hard to explain and I can't find a picture of a Leatherman to compare.

Here's a picture of the multi I was carrying. It's no Leatherman but the design is the same. You can tell the difference here.

 

yeah but the big difference there is the ability to hide the plier part of the tool with the leatherman and not the gerber. But I suppose if that isn't important to you then it really doesn't matter to begin with.
