Building a (better) Golfer

[jazzbass]

Despite Victorinox's attempt to call everything a "Golfer", I've never felt the Golfer knives they did make were quite up to the name. The early ones (Compacts) are great, but there's nothing special about them that makes them golf specific. Then they came out with the ones in the 90s with the divot tool, which was a nice change. But - that golfer was a two layer knife with a divot tool, blade, and scissors. No can/bottle bottle opener of any type! I don't know about you, but a tool to open a cold beer after 18 holes is just as important (if not more) than a tool to fix divots.

So I got divot tool golfer to mod, and started thinking - what would be the perfect golf knife? Start with these layers:

• Large blade/divot tool
• Can opener/caplifter layer
• Plus scales

What else would you put in it and why? Corkscrew or Phillips on the back? Scissors? Metal file? Mag glass/Phillips? Wood saw? Right now I'm thinking metal file and corkscrew, but would like to hear other suggestions.

Needs a saw to clear away the brush!!

You must golf like I do if you're worried about clearing brush.

Front
1-Large blade/ combotool
2- Woodsaw/ divot tool
3-scissors

Back
1-Corkscrew/mini driver
2- multipurpose hook w/nail file
3- blank (maybe a second hook )

'plus' scales

the woodsaw/divot tool fits on a blade spring layer and i am assuming its the right size for the hook

why? well its all self explanatory

OK, you got me - how do you put a wood saw and the divot tool in the same layer? 

It doesn't look like the backspring is right for it - do you use a different spring? Maybe from the blade layer?

I like the idea of:

Blade/divot with corkscrew
metal file with small screwdriver
opener layer with awl

But I'm no golfer so what do I know?
