That's really cool. Some might see a tool as just a tool, many here, myself included attach memories both happy and sad to a knife but the same applies to most anything that invokes memories. I like yours alot :thumbsup: 🙂

Thanks mate! She's what they would call old school;clunky,heavy,non-locking etc. but I like it because if this!
Yeah I could go buy a new/better one,but it wouldn't come with the memories of a great mate and the times,both good and bad, we shared
in our younger days and some of the (sometimes) stupid things we did all in the name of catching a fish!

Saw this quote many years ago written on headstone in an old bush graveyard.
"No-one is ever gone so long as we remember them;for it is they that made us who we are."
 
When the FREE series came out I jumped on the P4, it had mixed reviews with what I think were more negative than positive at first. I noticed after it had been out for a while the initial negatives started to sway. I like the P4 but my needs today in our furniture store are pretty much met with what the P2 has to offer. I started with the original PST and loved that, lost it, got the Super Tool 200, then the original Wave and thought I had found Nirvana. Lost the original Wave, got the 2nd Gen and carried until I tried the Surge then drastically downsized to the Skeletool and thought this is it :D

Then the Charge and it became my all time favorite, so you can see, I've rode the Leatherman Wave (pun intended) as of today, it's the Charge and P2 that I find myself carrying often with the Skeletool mixed in and any one of the previous MT's I mentioned are amazing. Today, it's the P2 and it does what I need but am sure I'll switch back to some of the others I listed;)

Nice 1 Paul!
My first ever was a kick still use it. Charge is still 1 of my favourites. The free series are just so user friendly even the t2, I was considering a P2 but the P4 was a much more cost effective purchase.
Skeletool for me today.
 
Local weather conditions are not suitable for fishing at the moment due to heavy rainfall,road closures,flooding etc.
So,time to go through the tackle box and make up some rigs.
Leatherman Tool is on the job! :thumbsup:
This one is dated 1195 inside the handle.
Needle nose pliers are great for attaching split rings to some lures I made from old tablespoons and bottle openers!
Yes they look hokey,but they do catch fish.The one with single hook has numerous catches,and the battle scars to prove it!
Last time I got a fish on this one it was so bent up and twisted it looked like Uri Geller had been at it!
(I didnt lose the fish though!)
Orange bottle opener is a Barra magnet and will have the treble replaced with a large single hook.
Scissors used to cut line for little whiting rigs on the foam holder.
Alvey bakelite tacklebox was my Dads.

Carried light today, the Skeletool cut dust cover (dust covers are decorative at best) under a reclining Chaise so I could access the interior arm to repair the damage that a customers child did while horsing around. The phillip end pushed a T20 out of it's rubber case so I could use it to install support brackets to improve on the factory construction. The chaise arm is better now than when it left the factory :thumbsup: 🙂

My resurgence into carrying multi tools again is because I've gotten back into my Handyman business. When I'm at our store I have tools placed throughout so running to get a tool is at a minimum. That's just not an option when doing handyman work, or I should say, it's not the best option. Having a multi tool is :thumbsup:

An old friend...lost and now added back into the fold🙂

They come in so handy. The wife had me tighten the frame of the bed this morning, hadn't even had a coffee😯. Have hex bolts but some of the bracket screws were loose, free was on the tallboy so I didn't have to go back out to the garage like I did for my Allen key😁
