One of the items I first saw at the 2008 SHOT Show in Las Vegas that I was really looking forward to was the introduction of pocket clips on New Ranger models. For the last few years, folks have been modding various models with pocket clips to keep them handy without wearing a sheath, but this is the first time they’ve been available directly from the factory.
Some time ago I mentioned in the SOSAK BLOG that there was going to be a get together of SOSAK and Multitool.org members in the UK- here's how it went, as written by Micky D!
Mike demands nothing less than complete obedience from his lackeys!
Many of Wenger's NewRanger Swiss Army knives arguably fall into the multitool category due to having full-size pliers. The pliers fold out of the knife. The pliers are a moderate needlenose (more needle than the Swisstools or the WengerGrip). When closed, nothing sticks out (unlike on the WengerGrip or PocketGrip).
Continuing the coverage of the knives that SOSAK members have modded for the Wenger Booth at the Outdoor Retailers Show this month, we have Mike Granborg's entry.
Credit for this article is a bit involved- I’ve never been thrilled with the “electronic” SAKs that Victorinox started cranking out a few years ago, but I decided despite my personal feelings, I should at least look into them in order to deliver a well rounded look at SAKs. So, a call to Tim at Felinevet resulted in a used 512mb SwissMemory model, which had obviously served someone well for some time. The idea of the upgrade came from Master Modder Spork, who had gotten the idea from Vic_Man, the polish came from Rotokid... you get the idea!
Last month we showed you the Wenger mod done by Scott Kiser at The Knife Co-operative, and this month we have a couple more. This beauty was done by Tom Meeker, aka Rotokid!
In the past few months I have asked members if they have had any information regarding a few oddities I have come across, and there have been a couple of members who have gone above and beyond to solve a few mysteries for everyone's benefit.
For some time now I have wanted to get one of the Pock-Its sheaths as a method of carrying a few of the doodads I often carry every day, and especially at work. I don’t have enough stuff for some of the Maxpedition bags I’ve had, but I do have a little much to put in my pockets, and too much to put on my belt without looking like Batman!
It’s almost upon us- the Great Maine getaway, where SOSAK and
Multitool.org members will gather to spend a weekend in a cabin on the
shores of Lake Sebago. I’ve published reports on both the UK Meetup
and the infamous SOSAKramento, not to mention a bit from PWYP (although
that wasn’t a SOSAK thing!) but I’m really looking forward to Maine.
Why? Simple- because I’m going to this one!
