Pocket Tools for Knives

[robinbj]

I adjust and take apart knives regularly to clean the blades or lubricate the pivots. I have a really nice desk set of pin vise screwdrivers for that purpose. But at shows, or my other job where I sell knives, I find myself lugging around a bulk of tools.

Anybody know of a good pocket set of screwdriver bits and pin vise that would allow for adjustments on the fly? Something chest pocket sized?

Wiha makes industrial quality hardened bits. If you go to the big auction site and type Wiha sets
in the search bar you'll find various compact sets for sale.

I was looking at both the "big auction site" and "the big river" for a while and found going right to the Wiha home site was less expensive to purchase the sets of bits that I bought. They have a sale section and I finally jumped and ordered them at the end of last week and they are scheduled to be delivered today.

Here's what I carry (though not just for knives). It's a Wiha driver and an assortment of Wiha micro-bits. The driver has a magnetic tip and is about the size of a skinny Sharpie. The hollow handle of the driver holds 9 bits, and I made a leather "roll" to carry more bits . The roll folds up and fits inside the mini Altoids tin. They come in handy for knives, eye glasses, or anything with small screws.

Wiha sells the driver with a variety of bit sets, and the also sell the driver by itself, and people can buy whatever individual micro bits they want to go with it. They have a wide variety of micro bits.

I just contacted Wiha, they are sending me a super kit of all the bits and tools, including the pinvise you have pictured and an extender...thanks for the suggestion!
