multi-tool

the only way that an ESEE multi could compete for belt space with my SOG is to have either of the following
1. all the capabilities in 3/4 the space (I figure breaking reality has to be an everyday thing for those guys)
2. fit and finish from the days when that mattered, but at a modern price-point (again, not really possible)

and it would need to have swappable tools. Screwdrivers and the like are my urban survival tool, not a demo-punch and wood saw, but I'd like the option.
 
I need to know when the folder is coming out so I can sell my other folders.

Pelton and I have had way too many beers in the last few weeks discussing this and we are actually working on some initial ideas to be markted through the DPX line. Won't be a Rowen made tool but it will be unique. Not sure when all this will take place though.

Gee imagine that. You too had too many beers and came up w/ another brilliant idea. I'm sensing a trend here.:p
 
I think a tool like the Gerber Artifact and the various Atwood tools would be awesome (I know I'd buy one or two). If it were made by Rowen it would be even better. :thumbup:

Yeah wayfinder15 had one of those really cool. Maybe the most tool capability you can get for the money.
 
I took my HEST,RC-3, & Izula and hinged them all together. Totally useless but 1 of a kind. :eek:
 
I really doubt you could do much to improve the Leathermans and SOGs and Swisstools out there. The powerlock is about as reliable and advanced as a simple multitool gets. You can pick up a Leatherman Kick for 20 bucks, there really isn't any room for another high quality low budget multitool. Not to mention I just picked up an original first gen leatherman, with LEATHERMAN POCKET SURVIVAL TOOL engraved on the side. Total Bravo Alpha. Jeff one day I'm gonna drink way too many beers with you and Pelton... I've spent the last 3 weeks sitting on my ass drawing up knife and leatherwork designs drinking copious amounts of Steel Reserve by myself in my apartment.

That's no way to spend life. You have to think big, come up with wild-ass ideas and hang around with crazy women to really live.

haha, whitewater season kicks off in the next two weeks-crazy bitches bombing class 5 rapids completely hammered, stoned, even tripping, spending 5 days at a time drinking George Dickle whiskey by the handle and Oly's by the case. Common whitewater rafting saying is, "ye can't say you've been drinkin all day unless you start when you first wake up!" as one pours two or three shots' worth of Jack into their coffee mugs to help ease the hangover in the morning. Last trip we had a pack of coyotes run through our camp, everyone was too drunk to really even move, but somehow 15/25 of us had our pistols on us-we all fired til empty, managing not to kill anyone but somehow also missing all the coyotes. I have no problems with the wild ass ideas or the crazy women, it's just having the money to pull it all off (or remembering the wild ass ideas) when all is said and done.

Simple, bring a camera ;):D great for remembering what you won't. And capturing what you probably don't wanna remember :D

ya, until your kayak gets upside down in a class 4 rapid and your camera gets drenched under torrential crushing water from all directions... woops... that happened 5-6 times to my A630, thankfully it worked long enough to get the pictures on the computer. Unfortunately eddie sex on a raft takes at LEAST 2 hands so it's hard to run the camera at the same time. The A650 I bought to replace the 30 costed me 400 dollars and died 3 weeks after that due to Lens Error, AKA, Canon's crappy lens servo croaked and they wouldn't replace it because they said I abused the camera. It was brand new... Meh, tax return will buy me a T2i-magnesium armored compact body, 70D processor, 18 megapixels, flippy screen... 850 dollar price tag? hell yes! I need to get that Canon water camera too, that's another 350 bucks :/ it'll be worth it in the end I think, but after filing taxes I realized I only made 4,000 dollars this year (ouch) and spent almost half of that on cameras :(
 
PS Jeff, tell that RYP guy to get his Hostile Environment Fighting Tool in the works, he justified an entire trip to Afghanistan to design it and now he's sitting around with the likes of you getting drunk!
