Today I BOUGHT

[DrDuck]

I've been using a king chrome box cutter around the camp to open vacuum bags I put raw and sous vide food in.

So I thought I'd get a multitool or pocket knife to take camping.

Trouble was, I could not decide between a Leatherman Surge and Spyderco Chaparral FRN lighweght folding knife. The Leatherman has pretty good straight and serrated blades, and a range of other potentially useful tools and of course the nice pliers. On the other hand the Spyderco is a beautiful bit of gear, very light and thin with a very slicey blade of great quality steel.

So I did the sensible thing and bought them both.

I'm glad I did, the Leatherman has plenty of uses, and the little Spyderco is shaving sharp.

(forgot to extend the scissors for the pic)

Very nice Dr Duck, tools to last a lifetime.

your purchase of a Leatherman jogged a memory that I had one floating around in a drawer somewhere. Just found it - it is the original design given to me way back when (more than 20 years ago). I just had a look on the Leatherman website to see if they still make them and they have a commemorative version (exactly the same but with Tim Leatherman's signature engraved) listed at $349 . Admittedly mine has been around the traps but $349!!

This one going straight into the pool room. May even sell the detectors and take up knife collecting.

Hope you enjoy yours though. Quality product.

Leatherman do have a lifetime guarantee, I believe. I had a Leatherman Sidekick for many years then one day I found that the spring that hold the tools folded had broken. So I stopped using it.

Then while looking at some Leatherman stuff on a web site, I noted that it said lifetime guarantee, so I asked the question and was told to send it to a Sydney office. A few days later I received a note asking did I want it repaired or replaced and after replying that I didn't care they sent me a brand new replacement.

I guess the new/replace choice is in case there is some sentimental attachment to the knife.

I myself could let loose with a whole heap of stuff that would make the average polly gape in awe,
