I was still a little discombobbiulated Saturday morning and managed to leave the house without my usual watch and pocketknives. (Not to worry, I had the Leatherman on my belt!)
This resulted in my looking at knives at the Tri-State Gun Show and lo, the Kershaw "SelectFire" #1920 caught my eye. Somewhat silly name aside, you could hardly find a pocketknife more suited to the geeky/tech-y set:
Nice blade -- of course -- and a flip-out 1/4 hex diver that accepts standard bits, four of them already on board in spring-loaded holders, two straight blade...
...and two Philips. Along with inch and metric rules and a bottle opener. (The bottle-opened cutout allows the bit holder to fit flush when stowed -- it has very positive detents at open, closed and 90 degrees.) At the normal 10% off, I could hardly pass it up. It is made overseas, so that may be an issue for some buyers. It's a good knife, I have found Kershaw's product support to be outstanding and that added up to me buying one.
I recently purchased a multi-tool from Cattleman Cutlery that features spring-loaded pliers, crescent-style wrench, knife blade and three bits (2 straight, one phillips). It's pretty nice.
ReplyDeleteNice, if odd, little setup... :-)
