Anyone interested in survival?

In my opinion for the money I'd say a Buck is good work knife. I'd stay away from anything gerber, I've seen plenty of their products fly into pieces on job sites. I've carry the 'SuperTool 300' at work. I use my Wave for more around the house stuff.

I alternate between my Leatherman Wave and Leatherman OHT. I'm totally sold on Leatherman. I actually made an effort to like the Gerbers since everyone raves about them but I always wind up putting them in my knife collection and going back to the Leatherman. I even have the MUT for when I go shooting, everything you need for an AR.

My wife is cool about the guns, her dad was a gun guy and she understands that I need to have a wide range of shooting experiences.

My wife is OK with guns too. In her night stand is single gun safe with a 380 Bersa Thunder with pearl pink grips. In my nightstand is a identical safe with a 9mm Ruger P-95. We use the nightstand safes and a big safe because we have a lot of grandchildren. She just thinks that a safe full of guns is enough guns. Every time that I want another gun, it is harder to get her blessing.

What is MUT? I do not have a AR, but I do have a AK.

I've got a Ruger P-95 too. That's the firearm my father gave me.

I've also have a Marlin model .444, a Remington 870 pump action 12 gauge, a 721 Remington in a .30-06 and and a colt .45 M1911. The other four were my granddads hunting rifles and his shotgun.

A MUT is a tool made by leatherman for servicing firearms in the field, I believe it was built around the AR in mind. Although I think it has other generic tools for servicing firearms in general. I'm not completely sure as I don't own one.

The MUT is a multi tool made for working on the AR 15. I keep it in my range bag for minor repairs, tightening things and cleaning.

Nice, my wife shoots my guns, one of these days we'll have to go shopping for one of her own, probably a 9mm even though she is pretty good with the 45. The Ruger P95 is a sweet gun, but I'm kind of a Ruger fan boy!

My wife has a interesting story to go with her Bersa. She knows that having to shoot someone to protect yourself is a last resort option. But she says if she has to, that she will. Then someone is going to have to explain to ether God or the police, why they got shot by a girl with a pink gun.

The P-95 is one of my favorite guns, even if it is a little dated. I like handguns with hammers.

 

[Rayner]

I like my P-95 too, my has a nightsights on the front and rear sights. It has a gray and black non reflective powder coated Finnish.

My .45 has dark blued finnished with a performce hammer and trigger.

Is your .45 a Ruger too? Do you have a 1911? I used to have a striker fired Springfield .45. While it performed flawlessly, it looked spacey. It reminded me of Buck Rogers. My 1911 looks classic. It reminds me of the Texas Rangers. Or victory.

 

[Rayner]

My .45 isn't a Ruger, the only Ruger I've got is the P-95. My .45 is a 1911. It holds 7 rounds and Weighs close to 4 pounds loaded. The barrel is 7 inches long if I'm not mistaken. It looks fairly classic with the expection of the performce trigger and hammer.

Among other things my granddad was a avid hunter, firearms collector and he even did some gunsmithing. The 721 Remington I've got my granddad actually made a custom wooden stock for it and cut the fluting into bolt and machine all of hardware to mount his hunting telescope over the bolt. The scope he put on it is a redfield 2 1/2 times magnification scope.

I have a 1991 and a 1911. The 1911 was my dad's sidearm from WWII. I shoot the 1991, obviously, don't want to risk shooting the 1911 for fear I might break something.

 

[Manuheleku]

When my carpal tunnel isn't acting up I like to bring out my Ruger Super Redhawk 44 magnum. About all I want to handle! My buddy has a Desert Eagle 50 cal, that's a bit too much!

 

[Rayner]

It's neat that you have you're dad's 1911. It's a piece of history. My 1911 my granddad carried thru jungles of Vietnam and when he went hunting.

I was curious too, so I Googled. It's a pretty interesting tool, though a bit tall in the price:

Sometimes you can find them cheaper on Ebay

 

[Rayner]

I'm not going to lie, that looks like it would be fun too play and stim with.

Bought this one years ago, some of the tools on it are useless and I've yet to require an emergency screwdriver in the wild But it might do for urban living or a machine repair emergency. This is a generic one, believe it was about thirty dollars at the time:

I never thought about it before, but if I am fiddling around with something, it is usually my Leatherman. That is more than likely because I always have it with me. When I fold it up and unfold it, it makes a slight mechanical sound that I find comforting.

 

[Judge]

Guilty as charged. The way I sometimes handle tools I'm so fond of, I think I might be arrested!

A leatherman, or Victorinox Swiss Army Knife....whatever. I love the way they feel in my palm.

 

[Rayner]

I often will fold and unfold my leatherman too, I exactly know what sound you're talking about. If pay close attention you will notice that when the pliers are almost entirely open that you can feel some resistance. It's that resistance that holds the tool open or closed.

I like the way both my leatherman and my pocket knife feel in my hand. My pocket knife has a anodized aluminum handle that's very smooth yet not very slick. Like I said before my Benchmade is like my pocket sword.

Pocket knives,multitools, and Swiss army Knives are somewhat mechanical in nature there is that appeal.

Small pocket sized tools also have an aesthetic about them that users either like or don't like and they have very strong tactile qualities about them. Not to much mention the practical and utilitarian aspect of the tools.

I carry a newer version of the leatherman that you do on me every day too . Comparing the 'MUT' the 'Super tool 300' I carry at first I didn't really like the aesthetic of the 'MUT' but then I realized that there are similarities to my pocket knife that both the MUT and my Benchmade have in common. Now I do sort of like the aesthetic of the 'MUT' especially when you think about the 'MUT' being a tool that supposed to appeal to Law enforcement and soldiers.

I'm probably the only one but I have used the both the Phillips and flat head screw driver, to adjust the frame inside my backpack, I've used it on camp stoves and I've used the screw drivers to fix the broken latches and hinges on the 'red roofs' on my two treks at philmont scout ranch.

[Rayner]

I've got a question for you judge do you carry a pocket knife on you regular basis?

If you do what kind of knife tool/tool is it? The Rayner is curious.
