Some new toys

[DavidW]

I bought a Leatherman Juice S2. I bought it to replace my Wave. It works so much better that I took my Micra off my keychain also. It's much smaller than the Wave and that was what I was after. It doesn't come with a sheath but fits in the pocket like a Swiss Army knife. There's a spear point blade, bottle/can opener and scissors accessable without having to open the pliers. But you have to open the bottle/can opener to get at the scissors.

The pliers open like any other leatherman. Once that is doen the 3 flatheads and one phillips screwdrivers are accessable. There's a lanyard ring too. But I never use those. None of the tools lock. Not even the knife. But they do open and close with a very satisfying click. Much better than previous Leathermans. I still carry my CR Small Sebenza if I need a locking blade folder.

I found a neat little knife shop here in Lakeland, FL. It's run out of a shed. It's only open Thu, Fri and Sat. I took a quick look and found a Spyderco Ladybug II. The one with the serrated sheaps foot blade. I've been wanting one for a while and almost ordered directly from the Spyderco website. But for $20 it was mine right now. I wanted it to cut up boxes and other small tasks. It does it wonderfully. I thought it would replace my regular Ladybug. But I ended up keeping both on the keychain. Call me 'Biff the cardboard box slayer'.

My camera is charging. I'll have some picks tonight.

David, I have a Spyderco Ladybug that I have used as my EDK for a few years now and really like it, but if you can handle a knife that's a little bit bigger check out the Ken Onion "Chive" see previous post.

David, I just reread my previous post and I think "handle" was a poor choice of words.What I meant was "if carrying a somewhat larger knife is okay"
