I have two, so it must be :foot:

Here is a recent thread of mine in the General Forum with some smallish photos including a Buck Alpha Hunter folder (with hook) and a small Buck Mayo collaboration - http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=692691

Many camping stores have Buck knives here, and to the general public it would be one of the more recognized brands of knives that are readily available in Australia. :thumbup:

I've yet to come across anything more than Chinese made Winchesters, and overpriced Leathermans...then again, I live in the Sydney Metropolitan area

The new Leathermans don't use as good a steel as they used to. If you see SOG multi-tools in Australia, those are the ones to get. They use a better grade steel and seem to be more precision.

PS. some of the SOG multi-tools have two power-assist knife blades that open while the main tool is closed. Leathermn doesn't have that.
