I've got a couple of the 'pussers dirks' still that are getting punted for 30 quid a pop. :o We used to just get them from the 'ready use store', if I'd known how things would go I'd have grabbed a shitload of them to flog. :lol:

Its a nostalgia thing now more than anything, there are some handy tools on it, but better multitools out there.

Its not really a multitool, more of a multi-pick knife like a SAK...... Only built like a battleship

My Dad used to work for The Grey Funnel Line...... Thats why I want one.

I'll have a rummage mate, I know I've got 1 and about 90% sure I've got a second, if I can find it I'll send you it. It might take a wee while, my crap is scattered round the place.

Agreed Deeps,there are better tools.I much prefer the SAK now.Although back in the day my pussers dirk easily smashed open tin cans when we were starving hungry!

The SAK has more uses definitely. I think I've 'spun the dit' on here before but I was glad I'd lost my SAK and had a pussers dirk in my pocket the day I got my finger caught in the blades of a hedge cutter, I was able to force the blades off with the marlin spike. I might have struggled with a SAK although I've avoided the issue by not sticking my fingers in a hedge cutter.
