Bkreutz Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 SOG http://bestmulti-tool.com/sog-powerassist-multi-tool-review/# I'm on my second one (thought I lost the first one and of course it appeared after I bought the replacement) I find it extremely useful and well made.

Religious Shooter Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I'm guessing since it is a small knife you are replacing you will be using it for EDC. For EDC I use the Leatherman Skeletool CX. http://www.amazon.com/Leatherman-830850-Skeletool-CX-Multitool/dp/B000XU43IC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1433515565&sr=8-1&keywords=skeletool&pebp=1433515558773&perid=1QM2KWPGBZBT3VDQH1YV I also have the regular Skeletool in my range bag. It doesn't have the 154CM blade and the carbon fiber (?) scales of the CX. The Skeletools have changeable bits and are able to have two reversable bits on the tool. Best midsize multi tool for EDC in my book. Also have the Style CS on my keychain. Has scissors, blade, bottle opener, tweezers, etc. Somethings the Skeletools do not have. http://www.amazon.com/Leatherman-831206-Style-Keychain-Multi-Tool/dp/B0037STL7A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1433515763&sr=8-1&keywords=skeletool+style&pebp=1433515758636&perid=15R2P1Q6600YRDSE4KEJ I have Sidekicks (for the cars) and a Surge. But I would not recommend those for EDC since they are too heavy for pocket carry. If I used them for EDC I'd have to carry them on the belt. If I had to do it again I'd buy my CX from KnifeWorks and have my name put on the blade for an additional $8. http://www.knifeworks.com/leathermanskeletoolcxblackcarbonfiberscalenosheath.aspx#.VXG4_U9VhBd I wouldn't put my name on a under $30 EDC blade. But for a $80+ EDC I'd put my name on it in the hopes that I get it back if I misplace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Smith Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 My little pocket knife just fell apart and was thinking about a multi tool anyways.... There are 1,001 choices out there so it would help if you could narrow down a few things. Like how big/little is right for you, are you in the $30 or $130 market, do you want it to do a couple things or a dozen? As an example, I have a Leatherman Skeletool CX and a Style CS. Both handy, both very different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usa259 Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 With EDC for a tool with a knife, does anyone know the Maryland law regarding knife carry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Smith Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) In almost all states, you are limited to a 3" blade for it to be legal. And, oddly enough, some states have carry permits that allow you to carry a gun but not a knife longer than 3".

Round_Gun_Shooter Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Thanks for all the replies and ideas. These suggestions were very helpful... My EDC is a Leatherman Wave with a pocket clip. You have to by the pocket clip as an add on. I have tried the Supertool and I find it too large. I also have an original Leatherman I bought when they first came out. It has lasted a long time. One time I used the cutting blade as a pry and broke the tip. They replaced the blade for me. Great company to deal with http://www.leatherman.com/wave-10.html#start=1 http://www.leatherman.com/quick-release-lanyard-ring-removable-pocket-clip-130.html Great add on is the tool kit. I keep a second wave and tool kit in my shooting bag http://www.leatherman.com/bit-kit-127.html http://www.leatherman.com/bit-driver-extender-131.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlightMurse Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I have a leatherman Juice CS4 and love it. Small enough to carry yet big enough to get jobs done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviesterno Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Leatherman mutt! It's all set up for guns with a leaning brush attachment point, carbon scraper, and torx bits. Even has a bolt override tool and some other great stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
