Cool, made me hungry too!

I think this is the one… Under 8", made in 'merica, has clip.

very nice but illegal to wear or have in germany!
stupid german law…......that sucks! -
Turned out that making new scales for the Griptilian is way harder than for a regular, fully-lined knife. The liner demands it's own cut-outs and so does the axis-lock mechanism. Decided to try out scalemaking on an easier project and splurged for the Kevin Wilkins custom scales since the stock ones are horrible
The end result is a really expensive but hopefully super-nice Benchmade.. Got the black ones with a red anodized spacer.
Pics when they get here.
On a side note, getting to know stuff that custom knife makers do is not good for the "want"-side in me. Already thinking about getting a Leafstorm at some point and a small handmade fixed blade would be nice (as if I had any use for something like that
) and and and…. -
I have Wilkinsgrips on my Mini-Grip with the pool-green G10 spacer and I love that knife. Turns a great production knife into something even better. Nice blades gents.

Giles bought a few knives and had them shipped to my house. Offered to sharpen and tune them up without realizing how small they were
Belt sander with 2000 grit belt
Plus teeny tiny knives
Equals cooked thumbs
Giles, you're all set. They'll all split a hair in half now

The knife in the last picture is easily everything I've ever wanted in a tactical knife. Love the Zero Tolerance 0560
I have been a Rick Hinderer fan/collector/user for a quite a while now. I have had a few gen 2 and 3 XM-18s but I haven't been able to play with the ZT 0560 yet.
I am a huge spanto blade fan though so if ZT offered one with the Hinderer Spanto I would buy immediately.
Also that knife looks new, have you had a chance to put it through its paces at all?

So, can anyone recommend some nice multi tools less than $100?
-
Including pliers: Victorinox Spirit, Leatherman Skeletool CX
Without pliers: Victorinox Swiss Army Knife
I never go anywhere without my Victorinox Electrician. It's the one knife that I've carried everyday for over a year without changing to something else. When I need pliers, I have a SOG Micro Tool Clip or SOG PowerAssist. If I had to do it again, I would get the Spirit and Skeletool though
I cannot emphasize how helpful the Electrician has been though. Much more useful in my day to day life than any other tool

Skeletool might be a keeper. I was looking for something nice for gift for a good friend. Need to see if I can pick it up anywhere closeby!

I would go for this one, if for no other reason than the premium steel on the knife and non serrated blade (I hate serrations with a passion, don't own a single knife with them)
