Is this forum an admission that a SAK is a multitool?

I was thinking more along the lines of SwissTools and Spirits when I requested creation of this forum.

I read SOSAK at http://Knifeforums.com to get my "SAK fix."

Def is an experienced addiction facilittor.you should see how much of my money he's gotten for SOSAK and I am not really a huge fan of saks.

You aren't a huge fan yet. We'll fix that soon enough, have you seen the pretty new Stayglo models?

SAKs are multi tool pocket knives.

I think we need a 12 step forum for multitoolaholics.

My name is Colubrid and i am a multitoolaholic

Hmmm.....Different tools for different jobs I guess. Also depends on the person. I gave a lady a purple Clasic, and now she can't figure out how she lived without it. Now she is eyeing my Cybertool. Did I just create another adict?

Anyway, a SAK rides in the pocket alot better than most multitools, so one on the belt, one in the pocket, and go take on the day!!!

If SAKs aren't multitools, I have no reason to be here. $:-\$

Well, I do have a Spirit and a Pocketgrip though.....

I really don't see how you can't call something like the Swisschamp xlt a multitool. It can do as much if not alittle more than a LM Charge. The Charge has a bit driver, so does the SC XLT. The XLT even holds three more double sided bits on the tool. While the LM has the diamond sided file the file on the XLT can hold it's own. I like the XLT scissors over the LM's anyday. And the large flathead on both tools work equally well. Both tools have really good saws but I like the VIC can opener over the LM. Both tools have eyeglass screwdrivers that work good but the XLT's can be removed so it's easier to use. Now that brings use to the pliers. The Charge wins in that department hands down. But the XLT pliers are still usefull even if they aren't very big and strong. So after compairing all the implements on both tools the only thing the Charge has that the XLT doesn't is a serrated knife blade. But the XLT still has another 14. I don't think you can't call it a multiool just because it's not designed around full sized pliers.

Interesting point... I think the differentiation here is that a SAK is "based" on a knife, while the standard multitool is based on pliers.... at least in most cases, but then I voted NO on the SAK/Multitool poll...

I guess the bottom line about what you call them is effective.

prime77 · **Reply #15 on:** October 31, 2006, 10:04:57 PM

I agree that they are both effective tools. There have been a number of times were I had my Charge but wished I had my XLT. There is just not enough room on my belt and not enough pants pockets

I like how you defined the difference Def...owning no SAK yet I didn't vote but I agree with you.

So YOU are the one person left on Earth without a SAK! Well I can see we'll have to fix that...

Hmm... does the PocketGrip count as a SAK? If not, then I don't have one either.

We'll have to start a club... Non Owners of Swiss Army Knives... or NoSak
