The two most popular types? Buck Knives and Leatherman Tools. Who wouldn’t want a high quality, useful tool or blade that will last their lifetime?

Check out what Nate C., from Seabrook, Texas said about his Leatherman Freestyle’s:

Leatherman Freestyle

I was looking for some groomsmen gifts for my upcoming wedding, and decided on the Leatherman Freestyle from LazerDesigns.com because of their great pricing and customer service. The order showed up on time and everyone loved their gifts. All of my groomsmen said it’s the best gift they’ve ever received for a wedding!

What does a guy with a laser machine give to his wife for Mother’s Day?

As you can imagine, expectations are high for an amazing gift when you own laser machines! I’ve used up my allowance of engraved pens and carabiners with names on them (just ask my sisters).

So what did I give my wife for Mother’s Day? Aside from a surprise candlelit dinner and cleaning the house (ok, I admit, a small section of the house), among other things, here they are:

Engraved Bamboo Spoon

An large, engraved bamboo spoon - just what every mom needs! Not your ordinary spoon - smooth finish, long handle, large scoop

Engraved keepsake box

Engraved keepsake box with a photo of a hiking trip.

Why I switched from a Buck Nobleman to a Buck Redpoint knife

I’ve carried my trusty Buck Nobleman in my pocket for years. With my initials and clipart laser etched onto it (see photo) when I misplaced it, it would always turn up eventually.

Things I like about the Buck Nobleman as an every day carry pocket knife:

  • The blade keeps an edge fairly well.
  • It slides in and out of pocket easy, nothing catches.
  • Small enough it does not bulge and I can still fit my hand in pocket around it to get at bluetooth earpiece.
  • Easy one hand open and close with thumb notch.

But after seeing a customer order the Buck Redpoint, I started to reconsider. After trying out the Redpoint for a day, I made the leap.

Why? Things I like about the Buck Redpoint as an every day carry pocket knife:

  • Serrated blade! Part smooth, part serrated. This was the main reason
  • Fits in pocket with room to fit my hand – though not quite as much room as the Nobleman allowed
  • Includes Buck Knives’ “safespin opening” technology – pretty cool, easy open
  • The Redpoint blade uses 750 steel, compared to Nobleman’s 327

Plus, the Redpoint has nice big area to laser on its super sharp blade!

What is your favorite knife to carry or use and why? Is yours personalized?

Update 4/26/2012: I still carry the Buck Nobleman sometimes, when I want a sleeker, thinner and different styled knife. I’ve also upgraded to a Buck Flashpoint from the Buck Redpoint, read my review on Buck Flashpoint here.

Mother’s Day Gift Idea – she may be mad at first!

Personalized Micra

Looking for a Mothers Day Gift?  Or perhaps an outside-the-box baby shower present?  Or maybe you find yourself frustrated by toy packaging and those little plastic pieces that hold tags on clothing.  Two words for you. Leatherman. Micra.  A small multitool you can carry on your keychain that has a multitude of practical uses.  Listen up!  Adrienne, over at Baby Toolkit recommends it….here is just the beginning of her list of things she has done with the Micra

  • opened countless boxes, cartons, envelopes, shrink wrapped objects, and blister packs
  • broken down boxes for storage and recycling
  • cut paper dolls and puzzles for squirming children
  • removed retail tags and hanging threads
  • cut and filed fingernails, ours and BabyGeek’s

Visit her post for the rest of the list!

Personalized Leatherman Style

This little tool is also on Parenthackers toolkit list thanks to Adrienne’s recommendation

A reviewer on shopping.com received a Leatherman Micra as a Mothers Day gift.  At first she was a bit disgruntled, but as she used the tool, her perspective changed  “Every mom could sure use one of these! I’m not “mad” at my husband anymore for getting me this. ”

Add a unique element by having the receivers name, a significant date or quote expertly laser etched on the tool.  Make it an identifier for your keys by having your name and phone number engraved!

However you choose to personalize the Micra, it is bound to be a hit! Also see other small, keychain size Leatherman Tools like the Micra in colors, the Squirts and the new Style and Style CS (full list).
