  • Gerber Legend 800 Multitool

    The one I got from a PX the year after it was released is epic. Have carried it for 23 years. It has seen everything and outside of scraping the knife sharpish again, has never been maintained. I misplaced it for a bit (under friends driver’s seat for about a year) and couldn’t find a replacement “upgrade”. Did the Leatherman wave2 for a bit. Couldn’t take it, hit up eBay, got 3 more Gerber L800s (later release, still in boxes)…so bad. They just felt cheaper. When we stumbled upon my old Gerber, I kept the new ones for parts. Replace my knife with a new one…it already has rust dots on it. My old one after decades of abuse and being sharpened to half it’s starting width, doesn’t have a spot of rust on it.

    ANYWAY…yeah…what OP said.



  • Everyone I know in tech uses android. People that want capable handheld devices choose android. People that want a basic device that does what the company says and nothing else go Apple. Even I suggest Apple to old people and luddites, it protects itself from them. Oh, and people easily manipulated by social pressures (OMG I need the right colored text bubble!) will deeply overpay for a subpar device.
