This apparently:

And:

Seems to be a more hardcore kind of Swis Army knife multi-tool type thing.

I've got a Gerber. It's not as fancy as that model, though. Try online, they're abundant in North America.

Yah... last resort, perhaps one of us can buy one & ship it to you... might be expensive, though... be better to find it over where you are.  Hint: try looking for "sporting goods" or "hunting" outlets where you live, then go visit them if they are close enough and ask them where you could get such a beautiful creature.  (I have a Gerber, as well... XD I luv it!!)

Damn, that thing looks like it would make a nasty torture device.

I've got a vague feeling that I've seen one in either Bluewater or Lakeside (most likely the former) I'll keep an eye out next time I'm there.

You could almost design a Shivan ship based on that thing....

Please by all means, it has to be a minelayer though  :p

I'm gonna try Hoxford street (lewisham pronounciation) later in the day.
Thanks for the tips guys.

Hmmm. I had to go to Bluewater yesterday but I couldn't remember where I'd seen it before. I saw a few similar things by Leatherman but nothing by Gerber.

It's kind of like a wander, but with a more definite idea of a destination ;)

You think British is hard? Try learning Newfanese (http://everything2.org/?node_id=859845)!
