What is a Yeoman with a saw?
Reply #30 on: December 17, 2016, 05:22:27 AM
Was in the same position as you... carried the explorer for a while... ideal for the urban environment... but felt it was occupying a lot of pocket space... Then it got me thinking... would sure be nice if it had a saw... ideal for both urban and the outdoors... then came my modded woodsman... and then finally the Yeoman WS...

These days the Yeoman WS is my pocket carry around the house though... :facepalm:

Yeoman is still it for me...

Here is mine which I modded myself... I call it the Yeoman WS...

(Image removed from quote.)

Basically a compact version of the Woodsman... :cheers:

That one seems ideal to me.  All it needs are plus scales...  :drool:
Mine does have plus scales... The mod is based on a compact... just added a few layers, chucked the awl on the saw layer and walla... :cheers:

Wait...the openers layer is thicker than the saw layer...did you thin down the awl?

Yes, only just a bit though... minute difference in width...

I just wrote an email to SwissBianco asking that he consider making a Yeoman with woodsaw.  I mentioned it might be a good seller.
Hopefully some of you would buy it, I know I would.

Cool, we have two orders, well three.  I'd buy two, one to use and one to keep pristine (darn collector mentality).  :cheers:

Ah.. ah.. ah... can't wait...

The models that SwissbBianco carry:
Yeoman
Yeoman Mechanic
Yeoman MS
Cyber Yeoman

Yeoman WS would be a good addition. And so is a Yeoman + WS + MS... Call it a Yeoman Ranger?

Hope you don't me posting this side-by-side photo of your two knives jaya_man.
I'm trying to decide which I would want and I STILL vote for the left one, your Yeoman WS.  :drool:

Don't mind at all... To some, the combo tool is a minus... probably it doesn't have the prying power... In my case, I don't mind at all...

So essentially your Woodsman has 3 more implements...the backside small screwdriver and the frontside can opener and small blade.
Are they both 4 layer?

Yes.. woodsman has 3 more implements...

Yeoman WS is 4 layers... Woodsman is 5 layers...

Might want to check your Yeoman... If it doesn't have the file on the hook, then it is the earlier version...

Can't help it. Here are my Yeomans... Both custom with reverse layers similar to SwissBianco (inline phillips layer in the middle).



The Orange G10 Yeoman is my very first mod...

I'm digging the Yeoman too.
Mine doesn't have the file on the hook I can see through the packaging....too afraid to open it as it's pristine, old style.  :facepalm:

I have a gently used Yeoman arriving today, not in box or package, so at least I can use it.  Had to pay a pretty penny for it though.

Same layout of layers on my two customs, but with the shorter Phillips driver and larger magnifying glass

Unless I'm mistaken, though, the only one of these that you can actually currently buy from SwissBianco (and only if you're in the USA, the Canadian site that services international customers doesn't have it) is the Cyber Yeoman:

Would love a Yeoman with metal saw/file, especially if it had the fine screwdriver on the backside of the file/saw layer

You got it, I find the awl far more useful than the hook:
