The Official Atwood collectors thread.

[Monocrom]

So far, only have an Original Prybaby.

Awesome tool though.

[localguy]

I have a G3 Prybaby, Blue Anodized Titanium Ghost, and blue 5 flute lanslide.

have zero Atwood left... sold em long ago... the one that I regret selling is my old Damascus booger. the guy that purchased pitched a bitch about condition. so I immediately offered to take it back... unfortunately he declined and kept it.

The ONLY atwood that really interests me are the Ghosts - and I've never bothered

I scored a blue ano Ti Pest tonight, the first Atwood in a loooong time for me. I just had to bump this up. I will post my couple pieces when the Pest comes in. I am a bit concerned it will be too large for EDC. Can anyone comment on that? I know they're brand new but I've seen a few familiar handles in PPT recently.

I own a Wingnut and a Microspud. I EDC the Wingnut on my shop keys.

The Pest is a bit bigger than a typical house-key, but smaller than most newer-type car keys. And in titanium, it feels feather-light!

I measured my Prybaby and it's about the same size so I think it'll be ok. For some reason I thought it was longer. I reaaaaally want a Keyton, but I had to bite on the chance for a Pest in case I miss the Keytons. It's a similar design so it should work well for me.

I don't have a Prybaby with me, but I think the Pest may be just a bit smaller (shorter?)....I've been wanting a Keyton, too

EDIT: Yeah, it is a few millimeters shorter than the Prybaby.

Holy Cats I just got a UV Pest too! I wanted so badly to get two blue ones yesterday and give one to a buddy who had bought me a G3 Prybaby, but it was one per. By some stroke of fortune, I checked at the right time today, and got a UV! Now I can keep one and give him one. I am so excited, he's gonna be stoked. It's funny how I can go months without even seeing a link or if I do they are for something I don't especially need, and now two cool things in two days. Amazing.



I spent way too much money this month, yikes.

[Monocrom]

I have to be honest, the Pest is the first Atwood design I've really liked in quite some time.

My very humble Atwood collection:




An adjustable leather cord necklace I made with two Ti 5 Flute Lanslides, a G3 Prybaby, a green ano Ti Perfbaby, and a stamped Ti UV Pest. Hope you like 'em!

Sweet pic.

Let's keep this thread going! =D

Okay . . . Update time. I ended up selling my Original Prybaby to someone far more addicted to Atwood tools than I.

In fact, I realized I liked my Atwood Ti Pest better than any other Atwoods out there. By quite a big margin.

Wish I could pull off this trick with watches, but I ended up not getting into collecting Atwood tools. I love my Pest best of all.

[mcmc]

Hehe, first off, what are some of the watches you have?

Back on topic - I've heard several people say that they like the Pest. Would you care to elaborate on what all you like about it? It seems that it actually has some of the least of the actual number of functions of the Atwoods (pry, bottle opener) - so is it the aesthetics? Do the 2 circular holes have a special secret function?

How much did your original PB go for? I always kicked myself for not getting one back in the day, before it got hot. I remember thinking it was "expensive." Probably a fraction of what they actually go for nowadays though huh!

As far as watches go, I have a small collection. My main issue is that I'm extremely picky about watches. (Even surprising myself.) My Citizen BM7080-03E model has almost completely monopolized my wrist for nearly 2 years now.

Least number of functions, but that gives the Pest a very clean and almost classic look to it. When you add a ton of functions, you usually get very funky looking Atwood tools. No special secret to the two circular holes. The large one is great for use with one of the bigger McGizmo clips. I sold mine for what it originally cost from Peter. I wanted it to go to an enthusiast who would really enjoy it, instead of trying to flip it for a profit. So, that's what I did.

[nbp]

Man I gotta post an updated pic too.

I like the look of my Pest but I rarely carry it. The same with my Perfbaby. My Ti G2 Keyton is EDCd, and I often use my steel G2 Keyton or G3 (I think) Prybaby. That one is super handy with a lot packed in a tiny package.

Recently added a BottleBug to the EDC.

[nbp]

Where is everyone?

Just got a new one in from Peter and needed to post an updated pic of my tools. Yes, they get carried, the ano'd Ti tools show wear!

Ti Perfbaby, Ti Pest, steel G3 Prybaby, steel G2 Keyton, Ti G5 Prybaby, Ti Keyton with 4 trits in hole, Ti 5 Flute Lanslides, Ti Ribbed Lanslide, steel Ribbed lanslide

The two on the the Ti McGizmo ring with the Mako go in my pocket for EDC.

I've picked up a few Atwoods during the last 6 months; I've been trying to be selective and just grab those Ti items as they flash by me. I'll see if i can setup a photo to display them appropriately.

Currently I have a Brass Bedbug (I missed the Ti Bedbugs), G5 Prybaby, a newer style Ti whistle, a Wedgie (my all time favorite and daily EDC), a G2 Roid Ketyton, a few assorted Lanslides (and one Ti Strider spanner).

I'm currently hunting for a MicroSpud: I like to tie paracord during meetings and the spud would keep me from opening a marlin spike during meetings. I don't know why, but the spike seems to make people nervous at the meetings.
