These tools share two traits: great aesthetics and abysmal quality control. I don't have time for the full saga, but I’ve essentially rebuilt, modified, and tuned the lot.

• Gerber Scout: Running on washers with zero blade play and a near "drop-shut" action reminiscent of a Spyderco. Replaced the springs and brought the edge to a 18° DPS mirror polish.

• BlackHawk Multi-tool: Eliminated handle play and fixed the slip joints for a snappier feel. Added ultra-thin Teflon washers for smoothness, then deep-cleaned and re-lubed. The Tanto blade is now at a 20° DPS mirror polish.

• Twosun Prybar: Used a Dremel to reshape the bottle opener so it actually functions. Also sanded the scales to ensure they sit perfectly flush with the frame.

P.S. I do not recommend buying any of these unless you’re into modding and tweaking you stuff.
