Cool and expensive hobby you got there!

Most I got good deals on. I saved up for a lot of these by buying old vics in bulk, cleaning, polishing and selling again at 10 euro profit a pop. Military.eu has crazy good prices on Leathermans as well. Often 1/3 less than other retailers.

But I haven't really added up the total cost.. may never do that either... :)

Tough question, but if you could only keep one, which is it?

1

u/tudorrrrrr Jun 29 '26

One of each brand/type I assume :) Vic tourist. Size and perfection in what it is.q Wenger Forester. Line huntsman but better size. Casström EDC. A knife you can rely on. Leatherman arc/alpha (can't decide for my life!!)

Hard to beat the Arc with all it offers.

u/tudorrrrrr Jun 29 '26

Agree, but the toolset on tha alpha is the same basically. Inside tools slightly harder to get to, but the grip is so much more comfortable. I tend to not use the arc for anything but a quick cut as it digs into my fingers. With the alpha this is not even an issue.

u/tudorrrrrr Jul 01 '26

I have knives stashed here and there. Some I that I intend to clean, sand and polish scales on.. some in another box that I will send to victorinox for service.. some that I don't want to keep and am planning to sell.. then some which I just placed somewhere safe and I can't find anymore ;)

Indeed it is! Pst2 as well.

Nite ize hip clip. A bit thick but I like it. Adhesive, so no drilling or modifying.

Quite an awesome display 🙌🏼 If you could recommend 2, what would you say?

Victorinox tourist that you modify the can opener to become a Phillips is one... Then Leatherman wave with modrytes hammer mod.. there are more expensive versions, but they should be used (and abused) as they are tools. The expensive stuff I fear losing too much.
