Well I thought I might be able to squeak a hike in today, despite the weather forecast for rain. Upon arrival to the trail head, I realized I left my camera bag at home, so I decided to rig up something. While doing that, the wind picked up and the skies darkened. So I thought, screw this, I have to do a bit of shopping anyway.

Upon going to my local Canadian Tire store (sorry, I don't know what the U.S. equivalent would be - kind of like a Walmart without clothes or food, I guess) Anyway I happened upon this and grabbed it up and thought I would share it with my keyboard cousins.

I never seen this before and I thought it was kind of neat. NO, YOU CRAZY AMERICANS, IT'S NOT MONOPOLY MONEY! Just good old Canadian currency.
OK, maybe at this point you're asking yourself, "What the hell is he posting pictures of money clips for? It is Saturday night, maybe he's in the sauce" (I am :D) Well, there's a little more to it than that. Take a closer look at the clip.

What does that suggest?

The flip side:

Look a little more interesting now?

Opened up:

Note how there's a curved piece for you finger, something like a choil.

And surprise, surprise! There's even a liner lock. (sorry about the bad picture)

The whole package:

The whole thing only weighs 2.2 oz and uses replaceable blades! Now I don't know if any of you have seen this before. I haven't and I thought it could make a useful addition to a PSK.

Hey, I told you it was not another hike. Anyway, back to my rye and coke.

Looks pretty nifty Doc, how much ?

Ps. My wife said why is it on a Santa hat ?
 
i have seen those, and they look like nice compact versions of the folding contractor knives...but i already have one and don't use it a ton, so i don't really need another.

Mrs. Pit says why. I say why not? :D

Actually, it was the only thing I could find at that moment to contrast the colour of the knife. I don't know why it's still laying around. I told Mrs. Cl...., I mean.........., ah forget it. :D

I picked one up at Walmart in Denver a while back, haven't had a chance to use it yet though.


A recall has been issued for these blades. "During use, the back of the blade of the knife can slide past the blade support, posing a laceration hazard to consumers." I won't be sending mine back, but something to be aware of ...
 
So, how many looneys and twonees was that?
And why did you have the Santa hat at the ready?
Is there a little Newfie we don't know aboot (sic)?

At the store, there was a notice reporting that very thing and it said that these were new production and were not affected in a similar manner. In looking at this knife, I can't possibly see how the blade could slip past the blade support, so I'm sure it's fine. Any chance you can post a picture of yours?

As far as loonies and toonies, there were approximately 3 of each. I don't understand the Newfie reference though. :confused: I mean, I know what a Newfie is - a resident of Newfoundland, which is on our extreme east coast and every Newfie I ever met was a person of sterling character, and funny as hell, to boot. In fact, one of my trio of 3 best friends (excluding my wife, who is much more than that - guess you can tell I've been drinking, eh?) is from Newfoundland. No more needs to be said, but I still don't understand your reference.

San......, I mean Doc :o
 
where you at canadian tire by chance ahaha.

very cool very cool its like pimp meets construction worker, with the clip and the razer... okay im done.
 
My family is from Nova Scotia and whenever someone does something just a little odd (like having Santa hats at the ready in May) they say they may have a little Newfie in them.
 
oh i thought that you found this on the street, then I saw the packaging and that got me confused :)

That makes a bit more sense, I had a hard time trying to figure out why or how they could still be sold if infact they were under recall...

I am on the road right now (at the beach in Huanchaco!) so can't post any photos of it, actually I am not too sure where it is at the moment...
 
Those are pretty cool - but I hate money clips....I'm just an old fashioned wallet guy (and not the kind with a big chain either!).
 
I checked back at CTC today, and the picture comparing the old and new, shows the blade support (supporting the bottom side of the blade) to be much smaller on the old one. Also, the support did not come up as high on the blade as the new on. So no problems.

kgd - you don't have to use it as a money clip, it could just as easily be a pocket clip, or nothing at all. Your choice.

Thanks for the heads up Doc. At my local CTC they are on sale this week for 6.79,so people I know will be getting them for gifts,I stocked up
