Well, Ebay is out since I don't have an account with them and for some reason their mobile thing doesn't work on my phone (I get browser jacking pop ups whenever I use the mobile side and it's annoying.)

I'll check out my local hardware stores since I know I've seen the little displays with these things on them there.

I did get it pretty much all back together (after much colorful language and curses upon whatever moron decided to put six thousand spacers in the damn thing.), so now all I've got to do is fiddle with the spacers for the pliers side and I'll be back in business.

By which I mean this tool will go back into the drawer I pulled it from and never see the light of day again.

I was one of eBay's first customers, way back in the dawn of the internet.  I still have my account and still use it.  Just ask and I'll pick up what you want and drop-ship it to you.  You can pay me back however you want to do it.

I've pretty much got the Lansky mini multi tool back together, so no worries on that.

ETA: Tool is back together. Had to remove a couple of the spacers in order to get it back together, but it's at least back together.

I am never trying to disassemble this tool again. I should've never done so in the first place.

In better news, I picked up a Mora Garberg a couple weeks ago.

Friend of mine from YouTube was offloading some of his collection and offered up the Garberg to me at a heck of a deal. Knife Center has the one I got for about 110 bucks, but I got mine for way, way less than that.

Only Mora I've ever owned previous to this is a Mora Companion NT2C sent me years ago (2016 I think ?), so now I've got an original Mora and one of the newer full tang ones.

I keep a pair of stainless Mora's, one serrated, in the trunk of each vehicle.  There if I need one but not apt to run me afoul of any laws or regs regarding weapons on military bases or federal facilities or crossing borders.

I'll probably pick up a couple more Moras to do that myself.

Though I may only be able to keep one in BlueHawk and Momma Chimp's Explorer since Eldest Sister Chimpski works at the local high school and having one in her truck might be an issue.

Found a local guy on Facebook selling a Petrified Fish 868 Bunta folder at 150 bucks.

Retail on Knife Center for the same knife is $32.99.

Part of me wants to comment on the post informing him of the extreme markup he's got on it, but the other part of me is saying to stay out of it and let someone else comment first.

I'd rather not see anyone get ripped off their hard earned money, but I also don't want to start crap with someone online.

Facebook already hates me for asking someone to take a dollar sign off a post in a group before they got the group nuked because it wasn't a sales group. Someone flagged that and FB claimed I was "bullying" by asking the person to do that.

It's a nice knife, but massively inflated on the price and I'd hate for someone to get ripped off.

The knife in question:

So what would y'all do in this situation?

[Lodewijk]

I have accepted my fate. This is my favorite style to pair with a SAK.

The first two are old but I just got the Dart in... same frame and hardware as a Fox 599, which I really like. I'll have to knock the scales down with sandpaper tonight so it doesn't shred all my pockets.



Chimpski, I'd probably leave it alone if it was me. Everybody's got the internet now and a price check would be the first step anyone worth helping would take.

I see WTS posts on other forums and just drive on. Gotta believe the Invisible Hand will sort it all out.

Good point.

I went back to Facebook to check the post and I guess the guy took it down. That or Facebook flagged it and yanked it themselves.

It's a nice knife, but nowhere near as pricey as the guy was making it out to be.

Lodewijk I carry a SAK primarily too. I tend to pair it with a folding utility a razor knife like the Gerber EAB. I want a fixed blade razor knife K , but can't find one I really like. Something like this ,but not this.

Only razor knives I've ever used were those Sheffield ones from Walmart and those were folders.

I have zero knowledge on fixed razor knives.

[Lodewijk]

I have seen a few custom ones on like Etsy that are non-folding "fixed" handles taking a utility blade like the EAB, but they aren't the most common thing I agree.

Interesting concept. I wonder how hard it would be to DIY something like that.

[Rednex]

I was on my tablet and  the link was to ETSY for one of those custom ones, it didn't work .I'm thinking once i get my workshop set up I might get a folding razor knife take the handle off and see if i can slab 3 pieces of steel together to make a fixed handle and screw, bolt,weld the folding blade holder onto it. Or same idea but use a scalpel handle and just use scalpel blades instead of razor blades.

Then a Kydex sheath for it.
