More Shiners!

Well, by a small miracle I finally have some stuff ready to go. Shiners came back from heat treat yesterday and my fingers are sore today from all the O rings and lanyard tying. But I have about half of them ready to go right now. :)

Shiners are made of CPM S30v steel, 5/32 thick, 3.25" OAL. These simple little keyfob tools feature a screwdriver tip, bottle opener, 1/4" hex drive opening and thick rubber O rings for a secure grip. They run $45 each plus shipping.

Sold Out, thanks.

  2. Got one! Thanks Peter, these are really neat for an avid fisherman an collector of unique tools. I may put treble hooks on it and try it out on Lake Cumberland!

  3. Those look really neat, but they don't do much my trusty atwrench doesn't and I'm a bit short on change at the moment. Guess I'll pass.

  4. I was going to try to hold out for Superbugs and shot glasses, but I couldn't resist. Have to get me a shiner.

  5. Hi Peter,

    Do you know when the MicroSpuds will be ready? They look perfect for a paracord marlinspike...

  6. I just got the Superbugs back from first tumble yesterday. They will have to be touched up on the tips and name stamped then will go out to heat treat. Probably get them done over the weekend and send out Monday.

    MicroSpuds are in heat treat this morning. Probably be a week or so on them.

    Thanks Peter

  8. Unfortunately, a lot of us must be on the same page. The shiners are nifty little tools, but with BigShots and Superbugs coming up, I think I'll leave these to the real collectors.

  9. Microspuds will not have a sharp enough point to be a marlin spike. However, I am toying with the idea of doing a marlin spike tool. Not at all definite but it "could" happen.

  10. Hey there! have you any idea of the price on the superbugs? im thinking of one of each but im running a bit low already..

    ReplyDelete
  11. Superbugs are going to be $45 as well.

  12. A marlin spike tool would be great. A friend made me a titanium one and I use it all the time. It is great for paracord projects. I'd love to have a another marlin spike tool with a knurled body to use on the cord to finish after melting it.

  14. Oh it will be almost impossible to miss them. I made LOTS. ;)

  16. I guess seeing these little guys only leaves me with one question. When do we get a golf tool?

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  29. I'm hoping MicroSpuds will be back from heat treat this week. I really never know though because their schedule varies and right now they are extremely busy.

  30. Shiner is a great tool.

  31. Hi Peter, first timer here...
    I'm very taken by the MicroSpuds.

  32. Missed these because I was out of town. Will there be a second round, or was this the full batch?

    ReplyDelete
  33. I do have more so just email me, peter(at)atwoodknives.com

  34. thanks, Peter! Email sent.

  35. I like the Shiner more than I thought I would. From the pictures, I was dubious at first, but still curious so I ordered one. In person it is a nice weight and size, at least for my hands. Great job Peter, once again. Thanks!

  36. Woo Hoo. Can't wait for mine to arrive. :)

  37. Peter, I would like to have that shiny surface finish on my Shiner like G4 Prybabies and Christmas Keytons have had. Can I achieve it simply by polishing with sandpaper and ScotchBrite pad? Or is it more complicated process?

    ReplyDelete
  38. It is done by tumbling in a finer media and you really can't get anything quite like that at home. They were supposed to finish them that way but there was a miscommunication. Hopefully it is straightened out and I'll be getting that semi polished finish on the next items. They called me today to confirm that that is what I wanted on the MicroSpuds...

    ReplyDelete
  39. I can't decide which finish I like better. I really like them both. :D

    ReplyDelete
  40. The shiner looks like a really nice tool sorry I missed it.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I have more, just email me. :)

    ReplyDelete
  42. A Shiner sold on Ebay, it went for less than $45 dollars... :) I'm glad, tired of people "buying and flipping" Atwood stuff. I haven't won a lottery yet, I'm waiting on the "fixer".
