What did you use your Sak on today?

[Monrogue]

I used The Rogue's pruner blade to cut out the seal on a container of coffee creamer.

So, then "The Rogue" is now official name?
Masterpiece, but seems it just lacks scraper blade

Yeah I'd say I'm going with that name   What would the scraper blade be?

It sounds good - makes great impression 

Uff, sorry about that, I should have said "scraper blade" 
... the above mentioned vic's can opener

btw, I like pruner blade too 

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

You can always get another custom SAK made... 

 

Ha, easier said than done   I could maybe do one a year during tax refund season, but I honestly don't need another one.  If I were to do anything, I would just swap that utility blade from my Mechaneer with the pruner blade from the Rogue.  That may be a cheaper job actually

How much fun am I killing if I say the Rogue already exists?

I won't let you kill my Rogue buzz   Didn't know about that one though.  I actually would have gotten that if it was still in stock possibly.  I like the Rambler (don't own one though), and the Classic (do own one), but I would rather have the nail cleaner tip instead of the SD version.  I'm really not going to use a tiny Classic as a screwdriver, and the nail cleaner tip probably could have been used that way anyway

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 
Btw, now you have to make some ranking  Has "The Rogue" prevailed against "Yeochamp" & Explorer ?
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

Thanks for comparison
Out of the cellidor SAK universe, that color scheme (black on the white/silver with some red added) is my favorite too - there's no doubt
So at least that my choice will be a piece of cake

It is a sweet color scheme indeed

Used the Signature Lite to open the package with the Huntsman, Cadet and Swisstool I received today.

 

[Mr. Whippy]

Used the S557 to open a couple bales of hay and to remove packaging on a jug of "Pet odor remover" 

[derekmac]

Used my Pioneer to cut up foam sheets to ready something for shipping.

[styx]

Recruit to save a purse from a shopping cart. Almost broke the little bugger. Normally I'd have my Spirit on me but  I'm already suited up for date night... OK not suited up but going lighter on knives, tools and lights

[Monrogue]

I used the Rogue a couple times tonight at my wife's great grandmother's 95th birthday party.  I used the scissors to cut a straw shorter for the baby, and the pruner blade to cut the plastic holding a couple of new little drink bottles.

You know it   I try to use it whenever possible.  And thanks for baby girl's birthday wishes

I just used my outrider to clip my birds wings

[hiraethus]

I cut my finger.

Used the awl,and mini screwdriver on my classic16 to reprogram a speed controller on a Tamiya car

Used the wire stripper notch and the bit driver on my Cybertool34 to wire up the plug on the end of a TV antenna cable.

SwissChamp had a busy morning at the club.

Scissors got used to cut targets,then the cap lifter got used to prise open 'scope mountings( why do BSA put sticky tape inside Thier scope mounts ) then the whole knife got used as the weight on the end of a jerry built plumb line to line up a scope.

Back at the club house it got out on a play date with a Huntsman and a ruby Climber with Swiss scenic print.

eCig maintenance.

[RamoN]

Problem: i wanted to fit that key into de clip but the hole is to small



Solution: drill it with the ranger 90 awl, it took about 5 or 6 turns and the awl is capable of grinding very nice




Success! and the awl still (after some heavy use on my part) without a scratch

[Monrogue]

I used the nail file on my Rogue to act as a key for the toilet paper dispenser in one of the bathrooms here at work.  It seems anything would work as long as it was of a similar shape. 

[ducttapetech]

Cap lifter on a 91mm sak works for most of them too.

that's us mobile

I found a new use for the cuticle pusher this week, on my MiniChamp!

Plucking staples out from paper sheets, envelopes etc.....

I'm very glad for this finding and would love to share with you guys, since here in the office it's common to "loose" the proper appliance for that for other people; and some of you might find yourselves in the same need.

Vic, Hurray, !

[PTRSAK]

Put my Micro Toolchest to the ultimate use,  opening a package with another SAK in it.

I have tried several tools in both the Vic Explorer and the Minichamp for that purpose. For most staples I am sticking with that Minichamp's nail cleaner. The pointy tip helps a bit, especially with the smaller ones. I use it almost everyday at office.

Today I have made ​​a small trekking tour. At a break I cut for meinen1 year-old son fruit pieces.

I've found the can opener/small screwdriver tool on 84/91/93/111 mm Vics to be great for staple removal.  I think the best approach with this tool is to go at the staple from the back, inserting the flat Phillips driver into one side of the staple (with the back of the can opener facing out), and then rotating the tool to bend that side of the staple to perpendicular with the paper.  Repeat for the other side, then pop the staple out.  Hopefully this makes sense; it takes a lot longer to explain than it does to do.

I used the Rogue's scissors for some mustache/stray beard whisker trimming.
