No. Flat black fibre sideplates, but otherwise similar .
Likely an earlier pattern.

Utility knife, can opener and a weapon pin remover (avoiding to use a projectile tip)
I used to have one very similar to that many years ago - but I seem to recall the blade was flat, not curved up at the end. Lost in the mists of time.

The other parts for the rifle I didn't upload pictures yet
Knights Armament iron sights (not sure if genuine or replica)
AN-PEQ 15 replica, the one that actually replicates the real one functions so IR illuminator and pointer and visible laser for zeroing the IR laser.
Not quite accurate replica cause the illuminator focus it's not adjustable and the adjustment knobs for the illuminator are just screws like the lasers ones.
Materials too real one has a fiberglass body that one nylon.
Anyways real ones are worth 2 paycheck and a proper replica is around 400 euro so I'm happy with it
ACOG 4x32 replica with logos
Put a Tennerbrex killflash replica on it
A very nice scope, people use them on real guns too cause they actually keep zero but they complain about they're not as durable as real trijicon ACOG.
(70 vs many hundredths of euro) They do idiot destructive tests like hammering on the optical fiber and put them in water later but they don't do that on the real one
Guess why

Further to which, the blade sharpened up very well indeed using budding knife methods involving a flat leather wood-based strop after a single-sided hand whetting on a Carborundum stone.
A Tina water stone would have been better, but I've forgotten where mine is......

Arrived yesterday but was having way too much character building fun fixing the oven. More Milwaukee stuff in M12 flavour since PowerToolMate had 10% off and already good prices.
Installation driver with swappable heads should save me trying to contort myself in different positions and I don't bend well now
Another 6 inch sander in 2.5mm orbit this time as I was very impressed with the 5mm but my existing M18 feels so crude in comparison now. Also a couple more 5ah High Output batteries as most of my recent purchases have been M12

A friend was an avid collector of model rally cars. He loved talking about them and could tell you the competition history of the real car.
When he died the family were arguing who would get what car. Some of them were signed by the drivers or rare and quite valuable.
His family never came near him when he was alive and were only there to see what they could get.
So before they sealed the coffin another mate stuffed as many of the model cars as he could in the box with him. He knew the undertaker and said it was Normans last wishes.
Once their crocodile tears dried up the family of moochers started to wonder where the model cars went. They still don't know they are buried with Norman!

Might keep an eye out for those calipers, ideal for use in the house/office for the odd quick check

They are plastic bodied. Probably better spending the extra few £ on the metal version.
They do have an appetite for batteries!

I'm just guessing that the plastic might be a glass-reinforced thermoplastic, in which case it should be fairly rigid and reasonably consistent in measurements, and if it's not mistreated, it should be quite useful. If it's a cheaper, less rigid plastic, it may not give you very consistent results. I would check it for accuracy against a known high-end caliper or a gauge block. If it's off a touch, you can just add or subtract an adjustment factor to get you back in the ball park.
