www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/…/48-22-1990Milwaukee makes one, in several sizes and blade shapes even.

I bought one to cut down on waste with disposable blades and it works great for tearing up packaging and boxes. The steel is supposedly pretty soft, but it’s also around 20 bucks depending on size and blade shape.

The non assisted opening mechanism is probably my least favorite thing about the knife, if I’m honest, but it’s not horrible or anything.

Do you find yourself using it, and what for?

I almost always find myself using a full arms’ span of cord, which for me is around 5.5 feet, so I generally carry two of that length, one wrapped up, and one in a loop with a diamond knot, which I find convenient in place of a carabiner.

Ooo, I like that short one. I think I’ll use that. Thanks for the link.

I’ve been eyeing the signal for when I actually know i’m working with my hands. I always carry a sog powerpint, and I use the heck out of it. It’s the smallest tool that can actually do real work, so if you want something smaller, check them out. Oh, and you could get them on aliexpress for like 30 bucks last time I checked.

I have a champ from the 90s, and the tools are all great, but I mostly find myself needing pliers and a blade. It’s great for.outdoors though.

I actually just finished cleaning up a Swiss army knife I found in a house I was cleaning out. I had the scales off, because it was super nasty, and they were solid in the back, so i’m guessing it’s oldish, which might explain why I can’t figure out which model it is. Everything sizeable I find has the hook, and mine, unfortunately, does not.

You seem to know a lot about them. Any idea what it is, or where I could look to figure it out?

Thanks! I checked the wiki, which I didn’t.know existed, and it’s a 7 layer champion, from between 1977 and 1985. Apparently that model had a lot of changes in its lineup, the older models did not have hooks, and the even older models only had 6 layers.

You have a recommendation on butane inserts? I’ve gone through a few, and they’re great until they don’t work, and that doesn’t seem to take too long.

Check out the sog powerpint. You can get them really cheap from aliexpress, and the pliers are pretty great. They also have a bit holder. I carry a dewalt flip and switch to go with it.

You can even start with an old laptop and external drives. Plenty of people shuck them anyway, so you’re not exactly overpaying. They’ll just be a bit slow. But if you’re mostly planning on streaming video that doesn’t matter too much.

If you do have a little to spend, you can do a ‘naskiller’ build. Just search for it and pick one. Basically some people put together lists of cheap, reliable used hardware you can get to build a pretty great nas, with different flavors. ‘Quiet’ ‘fast’ ‘compact’. I built one and went all out. I think it was about 600 bucks without the drives. Build up from there.
