What's your favorite 2-Layer SAK?

Or the most useful? I don't care what size, I'm just curious. From my "collection" I think the Cadet is superb, the Tinker is awesome. That's all I've really got experience with.

So far. LOL! So what do ya'll think?

I think you should send me one so I'll be well and thoroughly punished for being wrong.

You certainly can't talk about 2 layer knives without looking at the Compact.

A tough question. In contention (in my head at least) is the Sportsman, Compact and Scientist. Right here, right now, it's the Compact but that could change at any time if I'm honest.

84mm: Voyageur
91mm: Scientist
93mm: Sailor

Best overall? Voyageur, definitely.

Alox Rambler

Victorinox Soldier/Pioneer, by far the best with it's much beefier tools and the awl of awesomeness!!!

Reinier · **Reply #14 on:** March 13, 2011, 11:39:22 PM

Oh, I forgot my actual favorite: the Executive

Soldier/Pioneer.

?eter · **Reply #20 on:** March 14, 2011, 06:56:12 AM

Soldier/pioneer is a very well considered set of tools for general use. It covers most bases for me at work. It's only when I'm camping that I miss having a saw

Cyclone82 · **Reply #21 on:** March 14, 2011, 07:51:17 AM

Tinker
Cadet
Pioneer with key ring

HawkeyX · **Reply #23 on:** March 14, 2011, 10:39:32 AM

Although I am enjoying my Mechanic Jr right now, i'd have to say Tinker small wins the overall 2 layer for me

gustophersmob · **Reply #24 on:** March 14, 2011, 02:17:29 PM

Definitely the Cadet, although followed closely by the Alox Soldier/SI

APS · **Reply #25 on:** March 14, 2011, 02:18:02 PM

Adventurer for me. Not too thick, pinch-openable locking blade, just the right tools. It can be uncomfortable sideways at the bottom of a pocket but I have glued a clip onto it.

alelser · **Reply #26 on:** March 14, 2011, 02:32:08 PM

I'm a geologist so I feel nekkid without a loupe, so I'm with Neil and others: SCIENTIST!

Sazabi · **Reply #27 on:** March 14, 2011, 03:22:20 PM

It is a hard question to answer: I really like my Compact, Cadet, Sportsman, Tinker, and Spartan, not to mention my Pioneers/Soldiers/DAKs and Rambler. I suppose if I had to choose only one, though, I would pick the Cadet, trailed very closely by the Sportsman or Spartan.

Jmora · **Reply #28 on:** March 14, 2011, 04:49:15 PM

another vote for the compact. It is so perfect for EDC, that it gets even a bit boring knowing that that is the one I'll be carrying from day to day.
Pioneer/soldier is also cool.

Bladester · **Reply #29 on:** March 14, 2011, 05:59:25 PM

Difficult question! Some really good ones have already been mentioned: Soldier/Pioneer, Tinker. I was thinking of the Scientist - great tool selection in a 2-layer package. But, the question is what is you favorite. Not most used or most utilitarian.

So, my favorite would be my gray Woodsman. Definitely not the most useful, in fact, mine isn't even a user. However, I enjoy carrying it around, looking at it in a quiet moment. Not the most useful, not the one I carry the most, but the one I LIKE the best. I guess it would be my favorite.
