The CyberTool 34 is the CyberTool 29‘s bigger brother, adding scissors, pliers and a multi purpose hook. This particular one has translucent onyx scales. I thought those scales would be translucent black, but they turned out to be more like reddish brown… These scales have a slot for a small set of tweezers, like the
