Here's my newest, a replica of the Heuliez Yeoman Mechanic. A Victorinox custom from around 2011 for Heuliez (a french manufacturer), it was never offered to the general public until Swissbianco made his with some notable differences; the Swissbianco had the hook with file, and the mag lens/phillips layer in the middle which made it even better. It also had the then new larger mag lens with the clear frame. The Heuliez replica differs from the real ones in that it does not have the "Heuliez"- branded scales, the scissors pivot is not dimpled, and the eyeglass driver is hex instead of round. 2nd picture is with the Swissbianco replica for comparison.

How many are out there; let's see those Vagabonds, Mates, and customs otherwise!

Here's mine (getting ready to be a stowaway tomorrow @ work!): Vagabond "Plus", with pen scale and red-capped tweezers.

Bladeless MP400 bluntnose.

As I work in knife/blade-free environments, this is my preferred kit: MP600 Bladeless, 4" Crescent wrench, Milwaukee pliers wrench, Leatherman Removable Bit Kit, and assorted jigsaw blades. Also T8 wrench for remobable cutters in an OE Gerber Pro Scout sheath.

My newly re-scaled Deluxe Climber; a great 91mm sadly D/C'd.

Here's a quick hack/mod I made, in case someone wants the idea. I like the modularity and ease of use of the MOLLE/PALS system; I wanted a MOLLE sheath to carry my smaller tools (Rebar, Fuse, Kick, Crunch) when needed, but did not wanted the Leatherman ones; the nylon wears quickly as also the hook and loop, and even the medium is auite large for my kit. After three failed ones, it became "blacklisted". Since the "new" nylon ones came to the market, I longed for the new material and closure be used on the MOLLE ones to no avail so, I finally made my interpretation of what a functional, slim, no-frills and durable MOLLE/PALS sheath for the Leatherman should be.

Just received this neat load for the collection, and wanted to share to see how everyone feels of the Zytel series; I'm just discovering it (because of my Knifeless ... it has become "a rabbit's hole"!) and find them to be a great, simple and very functional basic EDC tools. From L-R: black oxide Fuse, '09 Kick (never used but without packaging), NIB Kick clip and bolt, and '06 Kick (to add scissors).

Here's my new-to-me Spartan Lite, a great SAK to have at home, especially by the bedside, as it helps in looking around the room (or the Kid's!) without waking or startling anyone up. And having the 3D Phillips is "the icing on the cake". Thinking about making a "Climber Lite", just to have scissors too!.

My new-to-me modified Knifeless Fuse, which will alternate EDC duties with my Bladeless MP600. Bought this Knifeless as a parts donor but seeing its good condition after cleaning, decided to reprofile the broken small flat driver (it also has a couple of missing teeth in the metal saw edge of the file), and add a micro driver. Like it a lot, and will be using it without remorse as EDC!

It was the DLC/stainless turn to get accessorized; I really like this color!

My modified Knifeless Fuse, performing as expected.

Talking with a pal about the MP series, we came with the discussion of the differences between these two models: the Snap On/Gerber colab. and the basic/Pro Scout Gerber. The samples share a lots of similarities, but one notable difference between his and mines; while with his SMT97R the handles come closer together than the MP, mines are the same. Castings appears to be the same in mines, and I fault the taller combo blade of the SMT97R as compared to the MP's but, I'd like to know if anyone else had noticed this. Pictures are of mine, showing what appears to be the same basic geometry and form between them (I only see different the "wrench in S" logo and cross checked grip area in the Snap On's, and no logo and striated grip for the regular Gerber). Does anyone else's come closer, are the same?

Here's my Centerdrive, testament of what a brute tool it can be.

Just got an almost unused Coyote /Black Signal; here it is flanked by some others I have (and yes, I like the platform very much, thank you!).

My new-to-me, early Gerber 700 Urban Legend (L), and my 800 Legend(R). Notice the "Gerber USA" on pliers head, and Micra-style tweezers of the 700; latter ones did not had the "USA", and used flat-style tweezers. Also, the early ones had angled edges on the replaceable cutters, versus the flatter latter ones.

edit- The 700/800 were the first outside accessible, butterfly type multitools from Gerber; the first butterfly was the MPT, which was similar to the PST of that era.

Just made another bladeless; "Classic" Silver Bladeless with blunt-nose pliers head.

Quite compact, comprehensive, and doesn't weight a lot.

My OE MP600 Bladeless, and my "Classic Silver" MP600 Bladeless clone.

Although I know the only "perfect" SAK (or anything for that matter) exists in a very specific timeframe in a specific moment at every stage of life, I'm convinced that these two sadly discontinued models, are the closest to that conception for my urban EDC. Is either one the same to you; what's your "perfect", everyday 91mm?

Here's a tool that should've existed, would've sold well, and would've been great: smaller, more compact and more manageable than the MP600; great for pocket-carry, with the same full-size implements like the MP600. A bit lighter, with a more needlenose pliers head over the MP600. Perfect for no-knives/blades environments.
