"That certainly is a nice collection. Brought back memories of when I was collecting them. All but three are now gone. Those three are a small H1 Ladybug, a 20V Dragonfly, and a VG10 Centofante Memory."

Just as the title implied, I'm looking for a good set of Torx drivers. There are plethora of them, so I figured I'd ask the pros and see what you guys recommended (for knife servicing at least). I'm…Continue

"This is a very nice collection... For some reason I keep delaying purchasing the PM2 (okay, part of the reason is the price -- but part of the reason is that I'm afraid I have built it up in my head too much), but I plan to get the…"

"Sweet! That is a real sharp (punny) looking knife! congrats!"
Featureddead_left_knife_guy replied to Brian's discussion Just ordered a new knife!

"Thank you, everyone! I actually settled on three purchases. The first two are Wiha sets (thanks to your recommendations) and the third is an unheard of brand, but it's highly rated on Amazon and it's a VERY good set. …"
"Obviously some of the handled versions can get quite pricey, but they are quality tools. I have the small arm L set.
Can't remember what I paid way back when ... but they seem to be going for under $19 on Amazon. I used these to…"
"hmmmm. I had not heard of Wiha before seeing this discussion.
They certainly do look good; just a little on the pricey side. But you get what you pay for!
And all are single size dedicated drivers. No "bits"... I…"
"I will give a second vote for Wiha.

The 36291 set is good for knives.
