Bought a leatherman

Monday, November 21st, 2005

Last friday, I bought a Leatherman multitool and, since it was quite expensive, I have to tell everybody about it. No better way than to abuse my log for such a goal, is there?

I got me the Leatherman Charge Ti which has, like, a gazillion tools in it. I’m not sure I’ve already found everything on there. The fixed Lanyard ring is especially well hidden. Maybe there’s a prize for anybody who finds it? It’s plated with the most useless Titanium plaques ever, but they sure look spiffy! It got a pretty good review on Equipped to Survive too.

Anyway; I’d been thinking about buying one for a long time, but I always thought them kind of expensive. My previous pocket knife was a Victorinox Nomad . A great knife, which I’ll probably still frequently use, but which kind of lacked a bit in features (didn’t even have a philips screwdriver).

The Leatherman Charge Ti cost me €170,-. Too much probably because I’ve seen it on the internet for less, but what the hell. I’m happy with it and it was money well spent. Comes with a 25 year garantuee, so I won’t have to buy a new one anytime soon (unless I lose it, which is not highly unlikely too happen).
