Anyone carry safari trooper
on: June 10, 2013, 02:23:49 AM

Well, I stayed away from sak collecting for awhile, hard on the wallet, but had a week moment today and bought a safari trooper from tim's shop when I realised I had no 108 mm...

Since all of my "collection" gets pocket time, my question is: Does anyone carry one on a regular basis, and how does it work for you?

Thanx.

I don't EDC a Safari Trooper but a 108mm Solo. I like the size of the blade, the heavy duty scales and of course the super snap of the main blade.

Trooper is my go-to outdoor sak. Size has never been an issue. Only "complaint" is the lack of easy-to-use flat head screwdriver. Might be different if I had the sawguard.

I used to carry a safari trooper for the very ample blade. but it's rather limited in it's offerings tho

A modded 108 would be very nice.  I'd be happy with the blade layer, saw layer and scissors added.

Now that would be NICE, a pathfinder with a added pair of scissors! Nothing on the backside, just the blade, saw and scissors, SWEET! JR

I've got one for woodland carry, as pocket knives really don't come anymore robust! :)

They are a bit too limited for EDC imo however :-\
Give in, buy several Farmer's!!!!!!

Got it in today.  Came with saw guard (props to tim). A little long for most pockets, but works good in cargo and carpenter shorts which is what I wear in the woods. I wonder why these didn't become more popular, they're robust and sturdy as hell.

The tools feel a little odd eh, but for sure you need a 108 in the collection.  I love the main blade and awl on them.  You can add in a corkscrew driver too.  I havent modded one yet, but I really want to add scissors.

You know, I think I might have seen scissors (from classic or executive) put in place of the awl...not sure, so don't quote me on it.
