Ideas for my next SAK

[AlephZero]

I have the Huntsman, Alox Farmer and Swisschamp...

So, I've been wondering what to get next, should I get another 91mm or maybe go for 111mm. Toolwise I think I already have everything I need so this one is just for the sake of getting a new SAK

So, my fellow multitoolers, let me know your ideas

PS: The Vic Rescue Tool is already on my list...

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

If your going 91mm, why not get one of the cybertools as they have a unique tool?

Or a work champ makes a bloody good backpacking sak IMO

Hmm, you seem to like saws, so why not the latest Soldier? Or a Wenger Ranger-model, now they're still there 

[kirk13]

How about a Wenger 557?

[Taxi Dad]

Victorinox Trekker ! 

[Huntsman]

If you want a small one - Why not try the Viccy Compact. It's fantastic.
Very slim but great tool set for every day (indoor/about town) use - and of course the plus scales. A friend of mine was really impressed recently when I whipped the pen out of the knife to make a note :-)

If you want big - Get a Ranger - They are fanatstic outdoor/campsite knives - Maybe the Patagonia 179 - Lovely bright yellow scales with the rubber grips, nice toolset - but not too wide

Or get a nice wee Wenger Evowood - They are beautiful. Maybe the 14. You'll be surprised how much you like the smaller size if you keep it in a pocket.

Actually just get any Wenger whilst you can - I guess they won't be rare for a while - But they certainly won't be around after next year.

The Compact can wait!!

Yeah, something Wenger seems to be missing in your collection. I don't think they'll disappear from the market very soon as lots of them were made but the prices may go a bit up as the stock declines.

Maybe a nice Ranger 78/79 (phillips/corkscrew) for saw and OHO, or 55/56 for 2HO.

Or a nice Wenger Traveler, they come in different scale variations, 50ft-trad has a lice selection of the models if you wanna take a look. (Third picture and description)

I agree with Nikola, and since you already have a Swisschamp, it's might be a good idea to get a Wenger equivalent, such as the S54.  There are some tool that is Wenger unique, and it'd be nice to own one while a Wenger logo still on it.

[AlephZero]

Thank you, everyone, definitely great ideas... Off to research, keep em coming

[sticktodrum]

Try to pick up the Wenger SI or a Vic original Soldier. Can't have enough alox!

I'm really happy with the +B Carver, it's such a cool setup. However, if you do want the 91mm, I'll second the Cybertool. I have the 34 and it is such a cool toolset. I use it a lot being in IT and always looking for excuses to use it over regular tools...

Maybe you could go for something lighter and more "urban" - basically something that would be a departure from the Huntsman, Farmer and Swisschamp, which are still good urban carries but can handle heavier duties too. Perhaps a Climber, or to echo a previous post, a Compact?

[pfrsantos]

I'd say Climber, too. Or even a Sportsman. Great for office, non-scary factor of 10 and pretty much what you need to have around.

All depends on your usual habitat and needs.

[Foos]

"Non-scary factor" - very well put!! That's a big factor in many urban/office settings.

[AlephZero]

The thing with Climber is (and I'm thinking it's a great SAK), that it's a Huntsman without the saw...

As for my needs, well, they're already pretty much covered, so all the rest is mostly "WANT" factor

Pretty much every SAK you see is just another with/without some tool. I don't imagine a situation at the office where I'm going to need the saw, so the Climber is more than sufficient for me.


Look for some special limited editions, then.

[Foos]

Better yet, order a mod job from one of the modders here. Since this will be a 'for the heck of it' knife, include some tools that aren't on your others and do a custom color!

[Jailbird]

How about a Yeoman? I find it to be almost the perfect tool set in an "urban" environment.

Good call Jailbird - maybe Yeoman only with small blade (or sheepsfoot blade) in place of large blade to make it the ultimate people-friendly 91mm model.

You're right, I just think I'd like something a bit more different Climber is a great SAK

[Fattsgalore]

Just like many of us your at that point where you have what need where you need it. Now its all about pure  enjoyment. It's a good place to be.

If you want a cool 91mm their is almost nothing cooler (with saying that I could think of a dozen cooler ones, but I digress) than a SAK with a digital display.  So I recommend the Victorinox Voyager or Traveller.

Do you own any 58mm?
Any thoughts on a Swisstool or Spirit X?

[Smaug]

You've got enough 91mm to start with. If I had that collection, this is what I'd get next:

* Swisstool Spirit X (with the Scissors) Nothing like a good pliers to round out a multi-tool.

* Rambler or Manager: Gotta have a small one that's REALLY pocket-friendly

* Victorinox '61-style Soldier or Wenger Standard Issue, while they are still available. This'd be a collector's piece.

* Wenger Evo or EvoGrip s16. Adds locking blade to a smallish SAK. Adds self-locking screwdriver. Adds springless scissors. I think this model is only made in the Patagonia Expedition Race version, in yellow. If you don't feel like you need scissors, you could go with the S14 and save some money

* Victorinox Executive. This is a classic in its own right. A decent tool set for its size. Big enough to hold onto better than the small 58mm ones, but still very pocket-friendly.

* Victorinox One-handed Trekker, non-serrated version. This gets you a bit of one-hand-opening goodness, along with the best locking screwdriver in the business.

* If the Trekker or Rescue Tool is too long for your pocket carry, and you're willing to belt carry, consider a Victorinox Workchamp. The Workchamp has SUCH a useful array of tools, including TWO inline Phillips, a locking blade, and a KILLER file.

I'm sure you'll let us know what you end up with.
