Maybe mags can make a #3 and send #2 to me for proper disposal.  :whistle:

I EDC my '99 Soldier.
But where this topic was made, it was only like 10 years old.  :D

Mechy, do you EDC anything rare?
I sometimes carry my 1950 Soldier.
84mm Golfer and Climber too.

Ribbed Cadet.

Uhm...

Might forget one here.

Other than the Swiss shArK there are some other I carry and use regularly: the red OC First Mate and the green (OD) SwissBianco Carver. And of course the MTo Pioneer X!

But the one rare SAK that I truly EDC is the green (OD) alox Vagabond!

I have no idea what's rare and what's not  :dunno: Here's some that I carry that might be...

Wenger brushed stainless Traveler
Wenger brushed stainless Pocket Tool Chest
SwissBuck Sidekick
Original Outdoorsman
Climber Small
Salesman
Voyager Lite

I also have a factory made buffalo horn Huntsman, and a 1996 British Olympic team Spartan. I have offered them up for sale in the past, but they didn't sell at the price I thought they were worth, so I'm planning on making those two users too.

Ha, it took me a minute to realize how old the topic was. I saw my name as author and thought, "I didn't post that  :think:"

Then I realized I did, it's just been awhile  :whistle:

Well there is the 1950's Drawer :)

Can I get some information on this cabinet? I would love to have something like this, but I don't know where to begin searching! My father has a giant map cabinet, but it's pretty unrefined...

I don't know what jaydar's cabinet is. Anytime I see a wooden cabinet like that, I'm reminded of Gerstner tool boxes. If you're in the US, those may be worth looking into as an alternative.

I have a few unique (in the true meaning of the word ie 1 of 1) prototype MTs, and quite a few that are very rare indeed (only single digit numbers known in the MTo realm), but I wouldn't EDC any of them.

It's not just because of their rarity and fear of losing them (although that is a serious concern with any rare object).  Some are simply unfinished/incomplete, others aren't very usable as development hadn't been finished when they were made (that is the nature of prototypes and proof-of-concept objects).

Vic Voyageur was my EDC for about 5 years before starting a new job where blades are a big No-no so I had to swap it out for a Jetsetter on weekdays.

Weekend carry is a rotation between the Pioneer X (heavy use days), Compact (normal use days) and the Voyageur for special occasions/dressed up carry.

Work EDC: LM Raptor/Bladeless Pioneer X Mod

Weekend EDC: LM Free P2 or Vic Pioneer X/Vic Rambler/Olight I1R EOS Pro Ti/ Atwood R37Pry

These days I focus on collecting oddball Pharmacy/Medical Advert Victorinox Classics.

I carry from time to time a Swissbianco microfarmer silver alox and a first release black farmer, standard models that I carry are economy lumberjack, GAK 2, VW Spartan. So some rare and some just hard to find.

My EDC SAK is a black Electrician.  It's not a rare model, but it is an uncommon colour variation.  Most of the other SAKs that I carry regularly are either mods I built myself or have at least had new scales fitted.  None are stock. 8)

Rather than go through the hassle of officially licencing my one i will do what most good clone makers do and change the model name, mine will now be called the " Farmer without the openers "  and subsequently withdraw this black sheep from the Buschroder club, i tend not to hang around clubs i'm not welcome in  :hatsoff:

Regarding the OP, i sometimes carry this one..there is only one in existence, the Farmer without openers, although technically mine is a Pioneer with a saw and no openers i found that name to be a bit too longwinded :cheers:
