Just nabbed a lightly used Xancudo with the biner hole for $75. I've wanted one of those for a while now.
Those look really neat. I have the Gerber 600BNew toy. Leatherman wave+

I prefer the leatherman brand vs gerber. Due to the 25 year warranty and the sharpness of the blade right out of the package. I’ve found with the gerber we get issues they just have a basic blade profile and takes a few hours to get somewhat of an edge on it. ( probably just because it’s and issued piece of crap vs store bought)Those look really neat. I have the Gerber 600B
Well I just had this discussion on the ESEE FB page but I don't carry it for the blade. I like the exchangeable cutter inserts and the fast slip deploy of the pliers. I carry some form of knife with it. Usually my Benchmade Freek or more recently my ESEE CR2.5 in a sheath.I prefer the leatherman brand vs gerber.

In fact I've probably only used the Gerber blade a dozen times in as many years of carrying it.
A bit of a drive is an understatement. It would be a 16 hour flight, 14 days of quarantine then a 4 hour drive to change than a 2 hour drive back to stop at cabelas.Doesn't really help you now as it would be a bit of a drive to get there, but Cabela's carries it. Although that still might not give you a good feel for it. And I'm not sure I could convince the wife to let me go check it out for you, as it would possibly follow me home too...
Then the guy with the number# ahead of your number would buy the last one and you have to do the reverse to get back to the never ending beachA bit of a drive is an understatement.

Yes. You deserve both, plus some.Will be doing that truck eventually will probably wait out until I can hold it. Might be a Xmas gift to myself for the hard work I’ve been putting in on this last trip. Also possibly looking at getting a new boom stick
Can you post a link to that one?Well it does not have a marlin spike, seems decently priced; Ozark Trail Multiforce multitool. What have your experiences been with this?
Not taking it as a jab.Oh, crap I just saw your post #mailet282 of your wave, that was no way a jab at you.
As per advice from somebody on the Esee FB page to remove the clips and vacuum seal everything for a couple days. ...
The vacuum seal helps the wet forming process to mood the leather to the knife and the leatherman. Normally you would add the design onto the sheath then wet form. And after the leather is dry you glue and stitch everything in placeWhat does the couple of days vacuum seal accomplish?
I guess we will see. Just ordered it. With my mil discount it came to $100. I am still contemplating getting an esee 3 or 5. Already have a Izumi, 4 and Laser Strike.Never heard of them.
With their 100% warranty, any fixed blades will be ESEE for me from now on I think. I mean a guy dropped his 4 in a box he was burning and burned up the knife and ESEE replaced it under warranty....
They've just released the 4 in S35VN as well.

But this new knife will be going in my work day bag and staying there for the most part
You need to downsize at all..?Well with this latest mail call. Looks like I need to reorganize my knife storage. I guess I need to go pick up some more closed cell foam to redo the cutouts.
