It's beutifully made and small enough to carry in your pocket. It's one of those things that you get because think it is going to be usefull, and then end up using it more than you ever imagined.

I am unfamiliar with this, what is it? and where did you get it please!

The miniSOPT has become an absolute EDC item for me. Fantastically usefull. Basically, if I am not going through a metal detector that day, it is in my pocket.

didn't recognize the short hand.

Sheez, after seeing some of the pics/collections you guys have, my measly SS whistle, lefty PryBaby XL and Electric Blue Area 51 Keyton seem like a humble collection. Too humble to warrant a pic, so I think I'll stick my head back in the sand until I have a few more....

cy · #**126** 05-07-2007, 01:41 PM

codeman.... didn't know you was a lefty...

got a lefty std prybaby for $36.50 ($1.50 for shipping) shipped conus if you want it. please PM if interested...

Gadget Guy · #**127** 06-14-2007, 01:54 PM

I just received this as a gift from Peter. He knew that I've been looking for a original Prybaby for a year now and he said this one came from the second or third batch! I don't know what else to say but:

Thank you Peter!

I was even more lucky because he found this while he was cleaning his shop and my guess is there aren't too many in this size! Sorry for the bad photo!

It's about 4-3/4" OAL.

Codeman · #**128** 06-14-2007, 03:03 PM

Nice score, GG.

Thanks for the offer, cy, but I think I'll pass. I've already got more than I know what to do with.

Thanks! That is the one piece that I wanted more than anything because of the history. Now I just have to find a person willing to part with a prototype Prybaby. My understanding is that there were only 24 of them made!

Here is a picture of it:

Pics in post #1 updated.

Codeman · #**131** 06-15-2007, 11:25 AM

Great pics, powernoodle!

Good luck on finding a proto, GG. I lucked into a prototype of Benchmade's 730CFHS a few years ago, almost a year after they had gone into production for a limited run of only 500 knives. It was NIB and I got it for SRP, to boot. As daunting a task as it may seem, one may be out there waiting for you.

Thanks! The sad part is that the people who have them probably don't know what they have!

Oh, great. As if I don't collect enough things already, I stumbled onto this thread. As a result, I placed my order this morning for a SS tactical whistle and original prybaby. Thanks, guys

souptree · #**134** 06-29-2007, 11:09 AM

Gorgeous photos, powernoodle. I just noticed the new ones.

Dynacolt · #**135** 07-11-2007, 05:41 AM

I just managed to get in before the few last MiniSOPTs were snaffled.
What a perfectly cute and robust critter it is!!
And Peter was really helpful and prompt and... what more can I say? The whole experience of purchasing one of his tools gives a more valuable feel to it, and Geeeeez - that tiny edge is sharp

Thanks for this thread Powernoodle - without it I wouldn't have discovered Peter's tools, and would've had to find a probably less-purposeful reason to further deplete my wallet.

Dave.

GregY · #**136** 07-11-2007, 03:36 PM

Heaven help me, I just ordered my first Atwood tool. I will soon add a Prybaby to my keychain. And so it begins...

I feel your pain

. I recently purchased a SS tactical whistle and an original prybaby. Very nice tools. Well made. Must...stop...the...urge

1MillionCandlePOWER · #**138** 07-12-2007, 10:02 AM

i have been reading this and wondering exactly how usful is the Prybaby to warrant a $40 price tag?

Because i'm on borderline of buying one, but man $40?

Mad1 · #**139** 07-12-2007, 06:05 PM

You wont regret it put it like that.

I've used my Prybaby alot at work.

Thats not a Prybaby, thats the Pry Daddy!

knifebright · #**141** 08-16-2007, 03:19 PM

Ok i'll play
here are mine to date. I'm crossing my fingers on a SOPT talonite and a keyton some day.
we've got a sumo, micro bug out bar, 4 inch wedgie, spanner baby, keychain edition prybaby, and a bogger!

zigziggityzoo · #**142** 09-19-2007, 07:32 AM

If anyone doesn't want one of their atwoods, Please PM! I really want a SOPT or MiniSOPT, Booger, and maybe even a Prybaby XL.

I even sent an e-mail to Peter, no response yet. I want one of these!

Dynacolt · #**143** 09-21-2007, 03:27 AM

Just got my BugBite - another perfectly conceived and created Atwood piece!!
Aaarrrghh... Need more, need more....

Dave.

Bushman5 · #**144** 09-22-2007, 04:23 AM

what is the tool in the upper left corner???

knifebright · #**145** 09-22-2007, 11:42 PM

NOT exactly sure from the pic but its either a Strider SMF or SNG. Kinda like this

matthewdanger · #**146** 09-26-2007, 07:29 AM

Clicking on this thread was a BAD idea! I already had a passing familiarity with Atwood tools from seeing them on various forums. Now, I am jonesing for one bad!

I guess now I just wait for one to become available on his site. Must... be... patient...

coloradogps · #**147** 09-26-2007, 08:36 AM

Be patient and you will find some.

I started with a PryBaby now I have about 20 of them.

They are way cool!

The latest ones like the Crawdaddy and BottleBug are very innovative.

Your wallet will get some good exercise....

matthewdanger · #**148** 09-26-2007, 08:49 AM

The Crawdaddy is the one that pushed me over the edge. I hope I can get one from the next run. The G2 Prybaby is pretty slick too... well, they're all slick.
