Any idea's? I've seen the cheap looking knockoffs on ebay but cannot find the real deal here in the states.

You might try e-mailing, or calling, Patrick at BCB Survival USA. He's been helpful to me in past.

They are BCB's relatively new "offical US distributor" and are pretty much up and running. Website http://bcbsurvivalusa.com/ says, "If you have a special request, please let us know." Don't know their ability to "order on demand" from BCB UK, but won't hurt to try.

Why would you want a BCB tool instead of a Leatherman Wave or Charge Ti? <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Thanks I didnt realize they had a US site.

I have a leatherman (whatever model came out as a standarad prior to the wave) that is an EDC (man i've started with the acronymns and i've only been here a week) along with my benchmade folder. I want one of these for the bottom of my PSK.

If I'm looking at the tool to which you're referring – the Hunter's Tool – the size/weight data listed:

Length: open 18cm (7"), closed 11cm (41/2")
Weight: 372g (13oz)

I'm refering to this...
The description only states its the size of a credit card. Which to me seems to be 3.25" X 2.125". I've found the same tool online elsewhere but the size seems to be scaled down to roughly 2.75x 1.5 or so.

There are a handful of on-line stores, but all appear to be in the UK.

As far as tool size, the ruler along right-hand side appears to be in centimeters (the longest marks/lines denoting one cm). Projecting the scale to the entire length x width, appears your guess of 2.75-in x 1.5-in is close.

Here's US seller of what appears to be the identical tool. Width is incorrectly listed in description. Think it should be 2-3/4" x 1 1/2".
