Used the Tinker blade to unpack, reseal and unpack again my brand new kendo armor package.
Used the Tinker blade to unjam the binding machine (again) than cut my finger (again).  :whistle:

My colleagues started laughing like crazy when I went to the bathroom to wash the blood off the knife first, than from the tweezers, than wiped the water off it, and after than started to wash and bandage my copiously bleeding finger... priorities  :facepalm:

Explorer got some good use today opening various toys from our baby girl's first birthday party.  Small blade, scissors and the Phillips driver saw action.

I used the scissors on the Explorer to open a bag of parts for a gift we got my older daughter for Christmas to finally put it together :whistle:  Also had to use the straight pin and then toothpick to unclog a nipple on one of the baby's bottles.  Thankfully those should be going away soon.

Oh it is :D  Taking a bunch of pics of it was fun too.  It's rather photogenic, and the lighting here at work is so much better for taking pics than at home.

Well, technically this wasn't today... it was  few days back.  But I had to replace a board in a piece of equipment. 

I used the scissors to snip out some wires that were being replaced with the new board.  I also used the scissors to cut some zip ties to remove the old wiring and get it read for the new. 

I used the various screwdrivers to remove parts (and of course replace them later).

I used the main blade to gently pry back some tape over a connector.  I then used the magnifying glass to get a good look at the connector to see if it was just slide in or if there are a minute latch of some sort.

I used the pliers to gently pull out the ribbon cable from the old board and then press it back into the new one.

I used the fish de-hooker to help slide some of cables through some narrow areas. 

And I used the flat head screwdriver in the bitdriver to 'push home' some of the connectors that were being a touch stubborn.

Ah, I see now.  I originally was going to have the can opener, then decided I'd rather have a secondary small blade as I find it quite useful.  However, I would rather had had the utility blade from the Alox Electrician, but decided not to spring for one as I already owned a Pioneer Rancher, which has the pruner blade.  I probably should have just sprung for the utility blade and it would have been that much more perfect to me :tu:

 :D  A happy coincidence that those were the labels that needed to be removed.  I figured you guys would catch that instantly.  A 3" 4-way scraper would have been a bit of overkill for the job, plus why open perfectly good merchandise when I already had a tool handy?

I know that feeling , it's really hard to decide which blade or tool left out. In mind I'm trying to do a 3-4 layer SAK, but then it always came out with at least 6 layers  :facepalm:
Btw, now you have to make some ranking  :pok: Has "The Rogue" prevailed against "Yeochamp" & Explorer ? :D
And, are you missing there some of back-layer & scale tools?

Yeah it's hard to decide.  I do the same, and end up with more layers than originally planned.  The Rogue is basically my perfect custom Alox.  I do wish I'd just gone ahead and paid the few extra bucks to have the Electrician's utility blade (which I do have on my Mechaneer, and possibly could have sent in with the other parts to have him put that blade on the Rogue and the pruner blade on the Mechaneer...hindsight's 20/20 as they say).  Honestly, the pruner blade is sufficient, and at one point I actually preferred it to the Electrician's utility blade, but I just like the shape and how it cut tape to open boxes at work.  It was better for making precise cuts too.  Anyway, I love The Rogue, and am super pleased to have gotten it made. 

As for how it ranks among my main SAKs, the Yeochamp, Explorer and Mechaneer...that's tough.  I could easily say it is and likely will be my favorite, but that could be the newness factor.  I am sure that the Mechaneer has been replaced as my favorite Alox though.  I may actually not even end up carrying it much anymore as I'm trying to limit my EDC lineups.  I actually think I may prefer my new Explorer Plus to my Yeochamp as well, but that could be because I got my initials engraved on the main blade.  Another factor in favor of the cellidor models is, as you mentioned, the scale and back tools.  I love the sort of total package of the cellidor models I have, but I can honestly say I rarely use the back or scale tools.  This makes my Rogue that much more likely to be my favorite due to it's smooth, sleek design.  It has all the tools I really want/need in a SAK, and it looks awesome in my favorite color scheme of black/red :tu:
