October 30 day minimalist SAK challenge
on: September 07, 2016, 11:14:52 PM
To commemorate the two year anniversary of the challenge that started it all, October will be Minimalist SAK month.  No more :multi: or  :climber:, just one or two layers of Swiss goodness to see you through to Halloween. >:D

A few basic rules:
  • 1 or 2 layers only.
  • 58-130mm, they're all good.
  • Any handle material - cellidor, nylon, alox, stag, whatever.
  • Both modified and stock knives are allowed.
  • No other multis or knives allowed.  Dedicated tools are OK if you need them for a particular job (pliers, saw, etc.)
  • You don't have to stick with one knife for the month, as long as all the ones you do use are within the rules

Starting on 1st Oct, post one pic per day for the 30 days and you'll get a badge and, if I can keep track of the entries, a shot at winning a non-minimal SAK - I'll post pics of it once it arrives.

The prize:

That rule #6 makes this easy, just gotta make 8 different single layer knives out of a SwissChamp.  :whistle:  :P

"Would having a MiniChamp on my keyring disqualify me?"

I don't think I can do it...  :think: Althought the last few months I've exclusively carried my 2 layer electrician. But half the amount of time I also had a multi on me or at least near by. This is gonna be fun, and challenging.  :tu:

This month, pairing my traditional slip-joint and rebar, felt like the puzzles complete.  :cheers: I think I'll most likely carry on. "But don't quote me on that"  :rofl:

I do consider myself a minimalist of sorts. But if I had to have one, it'd be a leatherman  :multi:

Or four two layer knives. :pok: :pok:  One per day though, so if you want to trim your nails and you've got a pair of pliers and a fish scaler, you're smurfed. :P

Yes it would disqualify you.

Yep, like the lobster said.  But if you must have scissors and a nail file, get a Compact and give it a go.  What's the worst that can happen? :pok:

You guys know I already bought myself a Champion for a birthday present for later this month and now you're trying to prevent me from playing with it until December.  You're both evil.
