OH or not
on: April 29, 2010, 05:05:00 AM
This is my collection of Forester SAKs. The camo model is moded one. I quess it is easy to tell that they are my favorite SAKs. I like them all and they have use for all different situations, but I still like regular blade more, mainly for the feel of the SAK when it is closed (no hump on the blade). The closest one is my newest one and I would rate them as they stand (closest one is the highest).

I agree on not particularly liking the "hump" of the blade on OH models..I recently got a 111mm Hunter and really like the feel of it over my OHTs.

Without a pocket clip, the OH feature on SAKs is kind of negated...people have found inventive ways of carrying their OHTs where they can be easily accessed one handed and thus opened one handed, but as they are you'll be fishing around in your pocket for it, or taking it out of a sheath.

This is what made my preference:
We were fishing down on a river in Tennessee. We caught a bunch of stripers, had fun, and rowed in after dark.  I was climbing up the hill to the house through an overgrown field; my hands full of rods, life vests, etc.  Halfway up I get caught in this thorn bush.  the whole left side of my body was caught, every move was painful.  I fished out my Tinker, then quickly realized I had no way of opening it, my other hand was buried in thorns.  I SOMEHOW managed to get the blade open (I think with the aid of my teeth) and proceeded to hack my way free.
I swore at that moment that I'd never be without a OH blade again.
OH all the way!

The hump does make using other tools uncomfortable, but I'm willing to put up with it for the OHO ability. Quite often when I need a knife I'm already holding whatever needed to be cut, so only have one hand available to retrieve and open knife.
