Vero Engineering Ti Neuron & Mini Fulcrum - Small Details Review - Double Detent Slipjoint & Pry Bar

Today we're taking a small-details look at a pretty neat little double-detent slip joint: the Neuron from Vero Engineering. It has one of the best and most-enjoyable fidget actions of any double-detent knife I've handled, but as a *knife* it has a couple significant flaws that may or may not be deal breakers for you. Let me know what you think! As an added bonus, we'll also be taking a look at the Mini Fulcrum pry-bar and screw driver at the end! Spoiler alert: it too has some fatal flaws. AND BEFORE YOU LEAVE A COMMENT, I understand now that the keyring add-on does indeed still hold the bits! Big thanks to Joeseph Vero for offering these up for passaround, @leftyedc organizing the whole thing, and @NeevesKnives for sending it my way! You can check out Vero and the Neuron/Fulcrum at...
