Simple EDC : Leatherman ES4 Serrated blade

Finally found Leatherman ES4 with torx screw.

directly ground the blade to be "V" shaped blade and add serration to it.

Next maybe try to find junk E4 and grab the tiny flathead screwdriver and 3D screwdriver or the awl on P4. Ruller + nailfile in S4 looks good in place of the current file.

as an electrician i found that the file can only be use in this case :

- you found rusted part (screw/plate) that need to be filed to make better connection.

- no other else

a pick-tool, if possible to be add, is a great tool, useful when soldering, etc.

so many thing i want to add, a lot of idea, but hard to be implemented.

Simple Edc : Vic Minichamp Mod ?

i was thinking to add full serration to the emergency blade (so it become fully serated blade, kind of saw blade), and cut the cuticle pusher become a big flat head driver (or prying tool, or picker tool?)
but, are these good ideas ?

Simple Edc : Squirt PS4 Mod ?

Just finished adding V-grind and serration on the small knife of PS4.
It looks good, and works better

next will be adding Squirt S4 ruller (and nailfile) + squirt E4 3D Phillip head in place of PS4 file.

but the question then : should i do this mod in Squirt ES4 or in PS4 ?

well, basically i have both, PS4 and ES4 with torx assembly screws. this opens up a lot idea for modification. still thinking..thinking..

Simple Edc : Piranha vs Pocketwrench ?

After few months carrying and comparing both, i finally choose Pocketwrench as my wrench edc and let Piranha go.

Reason behind this decision were:
- my Piranha is metric one, with some limited wrench size, Pocketwrench can do more
- the open end of Piranha flexs with heavy use removing tight screw, Pocketwrench does not flex at all, thanks to the metal loop
- i never use bottle opener, but i do use (and like to bring) ruller
- i missed the double screwdriver bit in Piranha, but after adding a long double screwdriver bit (and rubber o-ring) in Pocketwrench, i never miss it at all
- prybar? rarely use it, yet Pocketwrench have it
- price? i can get two Pocketwrenches for a single Piranha
- size and thickness are the same
- Pocketwrench have better ergonomic when tightening screw, bigger screw = longer arm = more torque. On Piranha, this can vary depend on screw size.
- box ripper notch in Piranha was never mean to cut something. once i grind it sharp, then it work as it is. rarely use it as i always carry another pocket knife.

So, Bye-bye Piranha...

Simple Photography : just pull the trigger..

I sell some of my old stuff :
- Lumix GH1 + 14mm f2.5
- Mamiya C330 + 80mm Blue Dot f2.8
- Fuji X100
got some money, and just pull a trigger on sigma dp2m of ebay. At $799, i couldn't resist anymore.
Hopefully this can last for a while, like my old RD1.
