WARNING : Nerdy excess of photos and BS ahead
I think the Spyerco Cricket is a permanent fixture now (at work or any other time).
I have just started to rotate out the Manix and gone back to the Ti handled Boker 440C shown. I am sure the Manix will come back around.
The Cricket destroyed a product the other day. I was holding it in one hand after it had expertly opened some P in the A packaging and closing the Cricket in the other hand and it reached over with its talon like hook and the deed was done. He looked at me like a new dog that had killed his first bird.
Bad dog. You killed that product.
He looked at me with pride as if to say yah but it was quick.
The rest of the mess has been there on the belt at work for years and years.
The long blades on the SAKs I reground to chisel (single bevel) one left; one right with fairly wide angle edge grind. Precision pliers on one and scissors on the other. Note the different location on the handle of the philips screw drivers. I use both. Well thats another pair.
The Japanese single bevel, wood handled knife I usually dont carry but it is in my bag under the bench. Super sharp for clean cuts in really soft rubber products and the SAK Bantam right near it is used for the same thing but is super shallow ground and double bevel. Oil the knife and it is like surgery. The SAK Bantam ALWAYS rides in the belt pouch with the other SAKs. Thats one more pair (soft rubber cutters).
The huge handled abomination to God and Man is the most recent work EDC ; Ti Lite turned Razel. Think of it as a two fisted chisel I can even use to take burs off steel products. Very wide angle edge grind on both edges. Shoot me if I start carrying a pair of these. No really; dont hesitate just pull the trigger.
The last one is the tiniest flush cutting nippers I could find. Brilliant and very well made (stout pivot; much better than my last pair which were larger). Does / gets in, where the SAK scissors cant. I guess thats another pair.
OK Ill stop now; this excess is . . . well . . . excessive.
PS: the Knipex pliers wrench and the precision pliers on the SAK is another pair
