When I was a kid, I spent a lot of time around boats and the water, fishing. While in High School, I occasionally earned money refinishing antique furniture. My summer job after High School and while in college was in a decaying factory, mostly doing maintenance work. In all of these activities, a handy knife is a huge asset. Back in those days, this is the knife I carried. I lost a couple of them through the years. They used to be available at a reasonable price anywhere hunting and fishing goods were sold, they were good size with a comfortable handle, rugged, and they came apart for thorough cleaning. They came sharp, stayed reasonably sharp, and were easy to sharpen when necessary.
I'm still the guy in the office with the knife to borrow, but now I carry a Victorinox Tinker Swiss Army Knife. The Phillips screwdriver and other tools in that model trumps the ability to dissassemble and extreme ruggedness of the EKA for my purposes now. At test sites, I carry a Leatherman multitool in a belt sheath, which I usually keep in my messenger bag for tougher tasks while in the office.
I have had this tool for many years. Here is some more info on this tool: forum.multitool.org/index.php?topic=3088.0

Straight out of Jos Weyers' big bag of Lockpicking and Key Impressioning tricks. These are the kind of tools he uses to break world records with.
This picture was taken at the request of Deviant Ollam and might make it into his upcoming book on Lockpicking techniques.

* Citizen Promaster watch
* Leatherman Squirt PS4 multitool
* RoseArt pen red/black ink 0.5mm pencil
* Manker E02 AAA LED flashlight
I get asked where I bought the pen, but I don't recall, as I believe I bought it back in the 1990's, probably at a stationary store or luggage and gifts shop...
I'm still playing with extension tubes, with varying results. I suspect they will work best (for me anyway) indoors with subjects at a nice height on a table using a focusing rack. The flowers were courtesy of Mother;s Day and the multitool was shot at our regular U3A Digital Photo Group meeting. The soft focus rose was accidental but I liked the result.
Going clockwise from top left:
The Mirror of Ink by Jorges Luis Borges, Pocket Penguins 70th Anniversary Edition.
The Spacehounds of IPC by E.E. 'Doc' Smith. Favorite line so far: "Clam it, ape, or I'll climb up you like a squirrel!"
A couple of pencils, a couple of sharpeners and a half-empty box of Nurophen Cold and Flu.
A post-it pad and pen I keep meaning to give as a gift.
That black dot by the pen is the lens from a crappy 35mm point-and-shoot camera that I'm using in my ongoing attempts to attach an M42 mount 50mm lens to my k800i phone's camera.
Beside it are a couple of bookmarks that I never use and a travel tub of sunscreen from way back when the sun used to shine.
A bunch of pencils, pens, markers, oil pastels, black ink and some string from when I used the bag for carrying my college stuff. Some of it hasn't been used in five years or so.
Bag within a bag! My camera bag, a Lowe Pro something-something containing various rolls of film and an 80-205mm Olympus lens.
My Praktica FX. I'm learning how to operate a full-manual camera properly.
Beside that on the blue bag is an Arduino microcontroller. My local Hackerspace runs a weekly Arduino and Processing workgroup. I may have accidentally left the built-like-a-tank Praktica on top of it though, hope it's ok.
Below that is my pencil case for use at Pubscrawl (folk meet up to consume alcohol and draw things), then an almost-empty antiperspirant and water.
Green Tea bag and a small pile of Stuff I Need To Sort Through. Birthday cards, bills, etc.
beside that is a pile of misc. stuff from the bottom of the bag that needs to be dumped (including an expired car tax disc. What the hell? I don't drive, let alone OWN a car...)
Bottom-left is a Boots CD of film scans that need looking at, then going up, Volume One of Doom Patrol (Grant Morrison's run) and, heh, Apparat. Lending them to a guy who needs to read more Morrison and Ellis.
And the bag! A 45 Liter Kestra that's mostly still intact after much abuse.
Below that are a couple of sketchbooks for Pubscrawl and a moleskine squared mini notebook from a three pack and a moleksine mini accordion folder. I tend to jot things on fiddly scraps of paper so it's proven to be quite handy.
Stupid Sony-Ericsson Proprietary Connector to USB cable.
And finally, a pair of wrist bands and gloves for medieval weaponry class, though we've only been using training sticks so far so I haven't had a chance to wear them yet.
So that's it, a horrible train-wreck of stuff I mostly barely use. There should be a cheap multitool in there somewhere but I must have misplaced it at some point. I usually have a messenger bag but that's currently holding the overspill from the last time I went through my jacket pockets... Yeah. My back hates me.
Amazing craftsmanship…

Some time ago Frida (yo, go and check her photostream!) asked me for this. I don't really do such things, but since she shared some funny things about herself I decided to give it a try. So, ladies and gentleman, here it is. 16 weird things you didn't know about me. Enjoy! :-)
0. I always carry a multitool or a knife. Or both. First, I like these things. Second - I really find them useful.
1. My phone is big as a brick. Everyone who sees it thinks so. But it's just a smartphone with lots of useful features. And I don't mind it's weight or size.
2. My favourite sketch is Monty Python's Dead Parrot. I laugh my head off every time I see it! ;)
3. I would definitely prefer to have a 50 years old TLR with some magnificent optics (say, Hasselblad, Rollei) than a newest and coolest digital SLR. It's not that I like TLR over SLR, I just love old cameras!
4. My desk at work is almost empty. I lock everything in the drawers when I go home. It's not my company policy, I just like to have my desk clean and tidy. 100% contrary to my desk at home.... :D
5. My first car was a Trabant. It was already old when I got it, it was noisy, looked not really good. But I liked that car very much. Some stupid Corsa driver "just didn't see me" when I was waiting on the red light and suddenly my beloved car was history. :(
6. I can't imagine a week without chocolate. And bitter is my favourite!
7. I can leave home without my wallet, without my phone. But I feel like I was naked without my watch.
8. I would like to learn to dance perfectly some day.
9. When I'm angry I curse and swear a lot. But fortunately, a whole lot more in my mind than aloud. ;)
A. I would like to learn Russian some day. Not that I see any practical use of it for me in particular, but I'd like to, just for fun.
B. I still have a dream from my childhood - I want to be a pilot. Not an airline one, but just having my own a plane and being able to fly it whenever I want.
C. Some day I might go back to learning to play harmonica once again.
D. I'm a solitaire by nature. I do like people's company but sometimes I just get tired of it. Also, when I do something important I'd rather be alone.
E. Obligatory musical taste info: my favourite bands are Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Iron Maiden.
F. I do not owe a TV, by choice. I watch TV only when I'm on vacation and there is a tv set in a hotel room.

It is an all too common situation - you fancy a beer, take a bottle from the fridge and then have to search for the bottle opener. Worse still, you take a few bottles with you on a picnic and damn – you’ve left the opener at home along with your multitool.
The crown cap is an excellent way to keep the contents of a bottle fresh and to stop the gas escaping. There are ways to remove one without the correct tool but they all have an element of risk to them and you often end up with a bruised hand or a broken bottle whichever way you try.
Now, San Miguel has come up with an ingenious solution to the problem with a cap that both seals the bottle and is easy to remove. Just pull the green tab and the cap comes away with very little force. ¿Quieres una botella de cerveza – abre facil?

The MacGyver multi-tool, nuff said. Thanks to coworker Nathan Swanson. Would be interested in whomever made this, so I can give proper credit.
My pocket in my pocket, to hold things in reserve that don't need to be pulled out right away from the rest of the pocket, and its holdings. I like to think I have Coyote in my pocket, but he might not like to think so, though he looks happy for now.
1.3713. With the usual instructions on how to use the can opener, which we never will use, and the wood saw and usual excellent required scissors.
No instructions on how to use the scissors or the wood saw!
The Huntsman is similar to the Fieldmaster which has the more useful Phillips head screwdriver rather than the seldom-used corkscrew, since all our wines now had screwcaps...
If I had known that, I may have bought the Fieldmaster at the same price on eBay or Amazon.
See more on SALE now...

With the toothpick labelled and a paper clip screwed into the corkscrew and a pin pushed into the rather tight hole...
see onscreen NOTES...
I look forward to cutting up our firewood next camping trip, LOL...
I always just break it or break large sticks under the wheel of Smoky or in the 'roo bar or towbar. Actually, I never required a SAK on our travels that I can remember!
See the Limited Edition #3627 Damast below with less tools and no small blade, corkscrew, toothpick or Tweezers!!!!

There is even a Huntsman Lite, see p116 I the Victorinox Book..
The Victorinox Huntsman is one of the most popular Victorinox Swiss Army Knives, after the #SAKSpartan. (Which was just delivered from Amazon, 27-09-24)
The wood saw and scissors combined with the two standard knife blades and openers, equips the Huntsman with the most popular tools and the ability to handle most cutting chores.
This tool configuration has been manufactured in different forms and sizes for well over a hundred years. At one stage a similar tool configuration to the Huntsman used the Woodsman name - See History below.
The Rainier model/variation was a Huntsman with a partially serrated blade (See Variations below) - This model is no longer available.
Done for the Macro Mondays "Members Choice - Metal" theme. Invented by Timothy S. Leatherman in 1983, this amazing multi-tool was 8 years in its development. Since then, the Leatherman with its variety of fold out tools, has sold over 30 million units worldwide.
The tool in the image above is one of the older, original versions, given to me by my son. The scale is about 3x life size.

Happy Macro Monday!
I replaced my old icon photo that was taken in 2003. This is what I look like when I head out on the trail these days. The thing around my neck is my homemade aspirator (aka "pooter") for sucking bugs into an in-line container. Since I spend so much time down on my knees looking for beetles I consider knee pads essential. Rubber boots are a necessity in the cloud forest. My belt pouch is full of collecting vials, 100% DEET, a white plastic collecting sheet, various small hand tools. The belt also holds water bottle, canister of powerful bear spray, binoculars, flashlight, multitool, and, once I find it in my luggage, a hatchet. Lunch and rain wear is in a separate bag.

MM June 3, 2013 - TV Shows
Secret agent MacGyver prefers his Swiss Army knife and duct tape to solve all the sticky situations he finds himself getting into. I never watched the show myself and only really know about it from the SNL spoofs.
I'm now away from home and away from my usual Nikon with it's macro lens (and my Swiss Army knife and duct tape). For the next ~8 weeks I'll be re-learning my P&S Sony.

Sam Walton custom folding pocket knife.
Had packed up most of my gadget drawer things for upcoming move, but when going through some totes looking for paracord/accessories for a knot project, I came across this one and pocketed it.
I'd only kept my Leatherman Juice Pro to EDC (everyday carry) since packing things up within the last couple of months and was missing having a one-hand opening knife for quick tasks, although the multitool still gets used frequently.
The loop of paracord is tied with a two-strand stopper knot www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncakEc7WAT8 and cow/ring/girth hitched onto one of the spacing pillars of the knife since it doesn't have a lanyard hole.
Red 1.4mm cord was used to tie the three pass gaucho interweave knot around a wooden lanyard bead.
For those wondering who this Sam Walton custom knife maker is, it's just a play on a name with Walton being the Walmart founder, where this budget friendly edc folder can be found in the sporting goods department.
