That's disturbing.
???
There are some... odd implications for giving their employees a fricking knife.
Okay? What are they?
They're asking to get the higher ups knifed.
Gotta weed out the weaker employees somehow
A Leatherman is an expensive, quality multitool that happens to have a knife for when you need to cut things
You ragebaiting frick
Most of those tools look like knives.
Moron
That is not the same model of Leatherman as in OPs pic
Aren't all these swiss army knives now basically just novelties at this point? Like, the outdoorsy and handyman types just buy the actual quality tools.
Like, there's no reason for these things. It's why they come out with stupid models like pic rel
They're generally made for quick fixes and when you're remote. The 16999 was made as an expensive gag that some people legitimately bought. But even Victorinox (aka the Swiss army knife people) got into making the same format as Leatherman once it was popularized. Frankly more than anything if you get one of the Victorinox cards it has everything you need for daily stuff: scissors, dull blade for boxes, tweezers, "toothpick," tiny screwdriver
pliers/screwdriver/bottle opener work well enough on the chance you're caught out
the blades and scissors on these things are always dogshit and you'll wish you had just put regular ones of those in your glovebox too
corkscrew, file, and anything else are a total meme
I mean yes but the point of a multi tool is that it's in your person at any given time. Sure I have a better pair of pliers or a better screwdriver but they're large and I keep them in my garage. My leatherman literally always leaves the house with me.
>Like, the outdoorsy and handyman types just buy the actual quality tools.
The outdoorsy types who actually hike or go on an hour long bike ride and the like do not want to carry an entire toolbox as that's impractical and a lot of excess and unnecessary weight. While other tools might work better, those are not suited to carrying with you due to constraints on weight, size or both.
Particularly when a good part of the time a smaller tool will suffice just fine than a full size one.
frick you leatherman
And only men would want one.
Now maybe their programming will cut the mustard
Cut it out Carlos
>All exits are now locked.
>You have twenty minutes to complete the downsizing protocol.
Ah the REAL way shows are greenlit at cn.
i thought we baby bears was cancelled
There probably won't be a season 3 but they still have to finish the remaining season 2 episodes (likely in post-production by now)
I believe that is the Leatherman Sidekick, nice bit of hardware assembled in the US of A.
Test
I can somewhat see what they're going for with this but still it is odd as frick.
Imagine being some animator at cn and then suddenly they send you this tool for you, I mean it's cool for stuff at home but what does it have to do with working in cartoons?
If you're an adult and have adult responsibilities then a Leatherman is useful to you
If you don't have adult responsibilities then even the bottle opener is still useful to you
But yes it's a weird thing to give to a cartoon show runner if they don't ask for it
Multitools are pretty much the epitome of gifts you give when you don't know what to give.
AAAAA IS THAT 'SWISS ARMY' UTILITY KNIFE AND TOOL KIT
I'M LOSING MY MIND
DO THEY HAVE LOICENSES TO EVEN OWN THHOSE SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED
>im working on baby bears! i got a knife!
lmao
it's what they're gonna use on zaslav
Speak hands for me
That looks like a multitool, not just a knife.
Not a bad gift, really.
Lucky, still waiting for my Christmas gift from Titmouse. They gave me a bunch of promotional clothing last time :3
If you've never received a multitool as a Christmas gift, it's because your dad doesn't love you and gave up early.
Sure is nice of Zaslav to give employees something to slit their wrists with when their productions are canceled.
If it increases the chances of someone killing Zaslav, I'm for it.
That's nothing, man.
>Was barbacking a vampire movie premiere
>prepping
>guy walks in with a box
>his boss comes in
>they open the box
>they freak out and run out
>look in
>just fricking dozens of jackknives with the movie title on the handle
>took one out, opened it
>6" blade
>illegal as frick
>kept it
>other guys came back in and quickly got the box of illegal knives out before people came from the premiere
promotional gift frick ups are great
Do you still have it?
did I keep the illegal promotional knife? Of course notmaybebut if you're a cop, no
Post pics or I don't believe you
>6" blade
>illegal as frick
Where the frick do you live? even California isn't that bad.
At the time NYC which also made nunchucks illegal from 1974-2018
nunhucks are actually dangerous in the right hands. You're not supposed to twirl them around like a toy, they were made to choke people to death.
lel they were garrotes? I figured it was because kids were fricking themselves up trying to be Mikey
that makes so much fricking sense.
Must be bri'ish
The frick is even going on in CN after they moved buildings?
working for HBO Max
Making pilots for new shows and Cartoon Cartoons shorts mostly
I have used a Skeletool as an everyday carry for years and years now. I never leave home without it, and I have a spare in my car. It's slim and has the most useful tools that are needed in a pinch, and if you need anything more than this you probably need to use a proper tool.
Hope Zaslav isn't planning a trip to the animation building anytime soon, I'm sure the starving artists there won't be afraid to use these
Oh wow it's actually branded too, that's cool.
lol while cool it implies a real sick problem with the heteronormative patriarchy among CN execs.
More likely it implies a real sick deal that the CN execs found on a bulk order of leathermans.
I promise you the reason this was the 'gift' was because they found a way to get them cheaper than a stupid hat or towel or something.
That's cool and all, but it's a pretty weird gift to hand out to cartoon people because most of them have no practical skills and probably shouldn't be trusted with anything more dangerous than a pencil.
I wish my company would give out nice Leatherman multi-tools.
had a good chuckle at them branding it with their logos and everything
It's a vibe.
Why is there Pikachu art on the wall?
You're upset about this...?
This is a joke right? You're all pretending to be scandalized to troll us all? You're merely pretending to be moronic?
>You're upset about this...?
More confused or bewildered, honestly.
Nice Leatherman. Looks like the Bar if I'm not mistaken.
If my job gave me a knife I would violently rape multiple people. I cant believe a company that makes childrens shows (cartoons) would hand out such a thing.
Well of course, they going to prepare for the next ides of march.
How else are they going to reenact the stabbing with Zaslav in Caesar’s place?
That's not a knife it's a multitool. Onions bugmen and zoomers don't know anything about being handy.
