I will buy the Trailmaster today, I will give some rest to my actual EDC Leatherman Wave, and I will have with me as EDC´s the Trailmaster ( Utility folder ) and my BM31 ( Tactical, flipper and fun ).

Can you give me some advise of the way of carry of this knife ( Trailmaster ), I don´t think that it is a good idea to have it free in the pocket, because of the size....

Can you recomend me a pocket sheath, o sheath that I can clip into my pocket in order to have the trailmaster into the sheath into my front pocket ?

Thank you

You're replacing a Leatherman Wave with a Victorinox one-handed Trailmaster?

So, did you really not have any use for a pair of pliers?

If you use pliers then perhaps you might want to look at the
Victorinox WorkChamp (US model #53761)

There is also a thread started by you over in the Review section asking the same question with several replies already:

SAK Trailmaster
 
Thank you for the info, I put that tread too ( SAK Trailmaster ) in the other section.

one of the reasons of changing the wave for the trailmaster is because the main blade of the wave is only for right people and I am lefty.
Talking about the pilers I use it a little but I have a Gerber in my truck in the toolbox and I will have the Wave in my work bag.... or neer to my work space.

Thank you for the info ..

I have a one handed trailmaster (marketed as the military model from victorinox, here by swiss army brands as the "one handed trailmaster"). Its a good knife, but takes a little getting use to. It is much heavier than the trailmaster so you will want to carry it in a sheath. You can find sheaths for it on ebay, 1sks, other places, ect. (do a search). The mechanism is not like a regular walker lock, it works off a backspring instead of a stop pin, so there is some resistence (not too bad though). There is some very slight vertical play as it is done much like the shrade linerlocks. The front tip is serrated, and the rest of the blade sharpened on one side only. When I first got it I was apprehensive of the knife, but after messing with it found it to be pretty easy to open. It does take some getting use to. And for the lefties its good as the liner lock opens the same way a lefy would!!

Over all its a good knife for the money!!! cant go wrong, a little more solidly built than I had thought before seeing it. I think you two will be happy together!!! :) oh and did I mention the screwdriver on it is stout and locks?
