Nice, thanks for the link Threedogs.

Do you guys know where I can pick up an anvil without having to remortgage my house? Seems they're quite collectable ornaments now, which sucks for someone who wants to use one for it's intended purpose.

Bunnings do a little 10kg one but I'd imagine it's pretty useless. There's a guy in Mitcham selling a bunch of thick I beam cutoffs cheap that might suit for a beginner like myself though.

Also, finally bit the bullet and got a leatherman multitool. Had been sceptical up to now but I have to say I'm impressed by the overall quality. The knife, rope knife(serrated) and saw are pretty damn good and it has a 25yr warranty. what do you guys reckon on them?

I've used my leatherman every day for the last 4 years and I still love it. Keep the blades sharp and it is so handy. It's always in my pocket.

I received a Leatherman "KICK" from 4WD monthly years ago as part of a subscription.
Probably use it once a week for one job or another on the patrol.
Very Handy always in the centre console

@ Irish cant go wrong with a leatherman tool IMO, you'll be handing it down.
Plus its fully re-buildable

I have both the sidekick and OHT models and love them both, very sturdy and are both used regularly and kept basically razor sharp.

I like that little Tanto, I think that will get added to the collection.

@Growler, the torx screws are both tight, just set slightly higher than notmal


Never underestimate the power of the tap, let it flow through you.

Yeah but in survival you may need something that can take a hammering.
OD would know more but still a great looking knife IMO

Might find something in this shop,,,,http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/MTech-USA...-/111832872859

I posted a slightly different version of this knife earlier in the thread and it rocks, very tough, sturdy knife. Am keen on getting this version as well.

The baby "chisel" Tanto is a good size as either a back up knife or for an EDC / Survival / Bug Out kit due to its size, full tang for strength and can be used for multiple purposes.

I'm still waiting for mine to be delivered and will do a test run on it.

Hi all. Have followed this thread for a while but now have the desire to post.

I currently have this knife and love it. However, I have had to replace it once before (lost it) and now they seem to be off the market. Was a good price.. Something like $40-$50 and would be keen to pick up another one or two if I ever found them...

If anyone sees one up for sale somewhere in Aus, it would be great if you could let me know

Cheers!
