Now on a serious note...Will there be counselling services available for those who've taken up this utterly mad challenge? The pressure and stress on those doing this will be nothing short of enormous. I'm speaking of the true knife knuts here who are used to many if not dozens of models they rotate through regularly. The strain of going with ONE minimalist SAK for a MONTH will take them right up to the brink of madness - and some beyond the breaking point I fear. The spectators watching this will be in for an incredible show of fortitude and sacrifice to say the least. So I ask that those with the guts to watch what's about to take place - please help out with encouragement and cheers. This could really get ugly, especially as the days drag on and temptations soar with each day, hour and minute. Best of luck to all...
Resting a well used LD10 and Wenger EvoWood 10 for these two pristine little babies. If I get on well with the Waiter this month I will probably get a Compact. 84mm single layer SAK and 5mm LED. I have taken off the Classic Alox and Rally that live on my two bunches of keys, E05 also removed there.
Challenge accepted.

Day one, and I haven't even got anything Swiss Case Scout Jr, Nitecore T0 (5mm LED), and a pair of 4LN mini vise grips
Quote from: enki_ck on October 01, 2014, 01:41:54 AMTwo questions. 1) Dedicated tools are allowed, right? Like if I need a screwdriver or pair of pliers at home/workshop that won't be considered a failure?2) Can I get a pass for one day some time in the next month to use a bunch of SAK saws (and only saws) to do a saw comparison test? I think both of those situations are fine. Neither are really EDC type scenarios, one is a task where one would often get dedicated tools, and the other is a special test.Besides, it wouldn't disqualify for the GAW anyway!

Wait a sec, we are suppose to have a minimal tourch too?Nate
First SAK failure: the small driver on the can opener didn't quite have the reach needed to tighten some terminal screws on a PCB. Could have done with a Technician instead of my Pioneer but had to get a small flat driver. I had to grab a pair of pliers from the toolbox while I was there to help grip some stuff in the back of the cabinet I was working on. Normally would have a Spirit or Rebar on me.
