I love the SOG tools tool. It's just such a shame they are not built in the USA anymore 😔

Other than the cost saving, what benefits do you think the ST300 has over the Surge? In other words, if you have a Surge accessable, what makes you reach for the ST300?

@@MultitoolsandBlades i like the super tool 300 because it's all one tool know small bits to lose it's also nice and free and it's got very good drivers it's also lighter than the surge but I still like the leatherman surge with bit kits and ratchet driver thanks for your reply

@toolsnthings5539 Yes, I did another video specifically regarding this and it has been confirmed by Robert Elsener from Victorinox. th-cam.com/video/33oKHHJneOU/w-d-xo.html

No plastic

I sincerely agree with everything you said

Nicely done, Sir.

That stings. At least you had a good run with it. Check out the video HOW TO BREAK IN A LEATHERMAN MULTITOOL on the Yonatan24 channel

I will sell it eventually, but only after I get my hands on a gold TiNi plated one to replace it.

The shield with cross was used by Wenger from 1940 to 1964 is the earliest form. After that, there were variations. To date the tool, best to use the tang stamp variation on the blade tang. These were changed frequently as the die wore out. Just google "Wenger Tang Stamps" to get more info. Unfortunately, due to some even in Wengers's history, not much information about older models is known

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic. Good or bad sheath, you can always swap it for a better one. The tool is terrible, though. Steer clear of this one.

@@MultitoolsandBlades I wasn't being sarcastic. Thanks for posting the review, but the sheath is obviously tough and when the first thing you say is false (I notice you don't even argue about it), why should I watch the rest?

@nicholasjkane, I appreciate the feedback. I'll do better next time. I've never been a fan of nylon sheaths, but my critique was for the belt mount. If your intention was to store the tool in a backpack, bugout bag, or toolbox, then the nylon will hold up fine. But if you have it on a belt as a first responder or if you work on a ranch for daily use, the thin plastic clip that attaches to your belt is not going to last. They could have made the plastic a lot wider. Or better, used a closed woven nylon to thread the belt through, so it can't come off without removing the belt. I welcome you to disagree, I even implore it. But from where I'm standing, it's the same cheap chinese made sheath that comes with their budget tools.

@@MultitoolsandBlades I'll take your word for it on the clip. Reliked your review :-).

For a good example, expect to pay about $150

@@MultitoolsandBlades I have model K351

I am 100% with you on that one. But if you see how much Butch Vallotton custom knives sell for, it's a fair price. Still my favourite Spyderco

I wanted to focus more on the tools rather than the sheaths (which can easily be replaced) in order to keep the video down to just a few minutes. My experience working in Leatherman warranty is that they were all bad quality, even the new Ainsworth "premuim" sheaths have rivet issues. Can't judge a tool by the sheath. Check out my video on the Early Winters Catalogue leatherman if you have a few minutes free.

No, I'm not at the moment. And yes, you are required to obtain a special permit prior to importing these into Australia.

@@MultitoolsandBladesmakes sense. I may have mistook your accent.

@Dan12345 I'm Aussie, but live abroad part of the year

There is one similar to this on eBay at the moment for US$384, but keep looking, and you can find them in different conditions and at different prices.

I'd like to see that, too. But I'm not using these rare tools to find out

@@MultitoolsandBlades , i'll try it on an aluminum can

@garyg2 stay tuned, I'll have a new Swiss-Tech video coming out soon with an even rarer model. I'll do a sheer test on that video for you.

Do check, I've since seen a person selling a whole batch of stamped 08 on eBay for $$$$$$$

I wouldn't recommend modifying this model, due to the riveted construction it will never be right again. I'd be looking more at the SOG PowerPint for what you were thinking.

Just be mindful that if it breaks and you claim under warranty, Leatherman will replace the Blast with the Wingman model

Ou talvez forneça uma opção serrilhada ou lisa, semelhante ao que Wenger ofereceu em alguns modelos.

@@MultitoolsandBlades talvez, a serrilhada é ruim de amolar

Nunca tive esse problema com um Victorinox serrilhado. Eu carrego diariamente um Swisstool Spirit X antigo com uma lâmina combinada semelhante e essas serrilhas continuam funcionando.

@@MultitoolsandBlades como faz a afiação dela ?

Nunca tive necessidade disso, mesmo depois de cem usos.

Gracias por compartir. Aún lo usas?

@@MultitoolsandBlades Si amigo aun trabaja como el primer día .

@Brainlixr Check out my recent video on the original Crescent Toolzall made by Cooper Industries

I have a Blur also, but I'm not a fan. If I had to choose between all three, I'd go with the barenuckle too

@MultitoolsandBlades At gun shows here in Washington state Kershaw has a booth and they sell some factory blems good stuff USA for really cheap ,my favorite is the leek,I want a Rainbow Leek...lol

We don't have gun shows here, but the Sydney Knife Show is next weekend! 👌 What is your favourite Kershaw, if you could have only one? Mine is the Launch1

@MultitoolsandBlades I'm not familiar with all but I will check out the Launch 1 for sure,Kershaw is out of Oregon very close to here and Australia must be fantastic place to live.I think the Leek is my favorite?

@onearnedbandit See my video on the Gerber MPT which was the Military Provisional Tool. The MPT was released to the Military before this, but not available to the public until just after the Multi-Plier came out to the public. So this was their first commercially available tool you could purchase. Fun fact: Leatherman outsourced partial manufacturing and sharpening to Gerber in their early days. Gerber could see the quantities grow month on month which prompted Gerber to enter the multitool race.

@@MultitoolsandBlades Thank-you that's what I thought

My absolute favourite daily carry. Don't bother trying to fix it, just send it in under warranty and they will give you a new one that works perfectly.

How intriguing. Can I ask what colour the LED yours has?

its clear / white

Shhh! Don't tell anyone.

I film on my balcony for natural light. I live just above a cafe and the mothers love to bring their offspring to make noise. It's always windy as I'm close to the harbour.

By far, the best of all the Leatherman scissors.

@BeginnersLuckXJ To answer that, I need to know if the handles are loose when the pliers are open, or are they perfect as plier?

@@MultitoolsandBlades They hold open and lock into place just fine when using the pliers. It's just when it's closed that the handles are loose.

Okay, that is how they are supposed to be. Tighten them any more and they will be perfect when closed but then too tight in the open plier position. Using Leatherman's factory maintenance tools, I've tried to find the sweet spot these, but it always falls one way or the other. Great fidget tool.

@@MultitoolsandBlades Good to know! Thanks!

When I posted this video, these were only available in large.

Sorry about your dad passing. These paratools were sold at the Eddie Bauer clothing stores with the sheath included. But I couldn't tell you if the sheaths were made by SOG or commissioned by EB. Keep them together.

Thanks for sharing your SOG warranty experience with us. A little bit of love has won them a loyal customer. Hope that never changes

Hard to say as they do not come up that often for sale. Last one I saw sold for $3,500 on eBay

I don't mind Gerber trying new things, but I feel they never get any one tool just right. Every tool of theirs has one or two good things and many flawed things.

@@MultitoolsandBlades that is exactly what I mean, they don’t really give it 100% on any design.

I love this tool, too. I sadly misplaced it for many months, only to discover it was attached to my keys. I carry a Nite-Ize Skull key now, which has similar features but doesn't need to be removed from the keys.

@jmg-sw5xr good to know more are out there but very rare in deed. If you check out my macro photography video on this piece, you can definately see it is a maltese cross as the sides are not straight. But it doesn't really matter, it's a beautiful knife and I wish more people could enjoy them. Thanks for watching 🙂

@MultitoolsandBlades I've had a closer look at mine and yes, it appears to be a maltese cross. It's a shame I can't repair this inlay or replace it as I actually use this knife and it may get even more worn. Apart from a victorinox, I've struggled to find another knife as sturdy and with this level of quality anywhere else. Maybe CK should make some more...

Your feedback is appreciated. Thank you

​@@MultitoolsandBladesStill love your channel.

I do like this too, but I don't think it's worth the $$$ the owners are asking for these second hand. If you like big folding knives, I'll be doing a video on my Benchmade 808 Loco soon

Oh, you are so lucky. I wish I had the first model 😪

@@MultitoolsandBlades I bought it right after I saw it come out but it's black. It didn't come with the saw blade so I ordered that extra and added it but that's not black. I couldn't find a black saw blade.

@stevanoutdoor question, does the black oxide come off on your hands?

@@MultitoolsandBlades No. But it's not like I used the tool for a long time. But it's not the smooth coating you see today. It feels grippy but I can imagine with long use it will leave some marks. It's more like the coating on the USN mark 2 made by Ontario and Camillus.

Thanks @dirkdiggler812 what makes you think this is forged? I couldn't find any information about that online. It doesn't look forged to me imo. The other two versions of this (AR and MRO) had plastic handles, correct?

I agree about the swisstool, I carry a Spirit MXBS everyday.

I've seen better conditioned ones, but I had to rescue this from the garage sale for $5. You are correct. Manufacturing moved to SA in 1988. This has the older style okapi figure pre 1961 but they never changed much about the tool over the decades.

No, just "Vintage Excalibur Knife". The Tracker is more like a Buck 110 copy
