Honestly, it will be a challenge for me regardless of the MT factor. I wouldn't be using any SAK for pliers, so it won't factor in much at all. I rely on my Rogueneer for pretty much anything I encounter with the exception of the pliers obviously. I will be attempting to rely on the Compact for all other tasks, and it's the only minimalist SAK with scissors, which is something I've gotta have, especially since my wife asks to use scissors rather regularly...I'll have a similar with my wife always asking for a file, scissors excetera. I relay wish she would carry her own SAK.

Ok, this is just off the top of my head;1) Classic2) Rambler3) Executive4) Bantam5) Recruit6) Pocket Pal7) Cadet Lumberjack9) Tinker10) Spartan11) Waiter12) Compact13) Scientist14) Pioneer/Alox Soldier15) ElectricianI'm sure there are lots others.The hard part is I would consider the DofE acceptable, so it really comes down to what is challenging for you.
You know what'd be a real minimalist challenge? 58's only.

I'm sure she can look after herself. But you, not so much. You may be right there She probably could handle it herself, but she's come to expect and rely on the fact that I always have a knife and scissors on me. Time to hand over the Rogueneer then. Edit: And the OHT.

When does the challenge start? I'm ready with my Pioneer
Quote from: arizonaranchman on September 29, 2014, 04:33:19 PMWhen does the challenge start? I'm ready with my Pioneer Ok, ok...I'll do a Pioneer like AZR but....The legal stuff....I reserve the right to use my Wenger cigar cutter when I have a cigar and to photograph aforementioned cutter with my cigar for the Cigar Thread....furthermore I reserve the right to trade the minimalist Pioneer for a Wenger SI on Wenger Wed if I so desire...other rights and privileges may be granted if not prohibited by law including drinking, carousing and being loud/obnoxious while carrying the minimalist EDC choice.

To go full old school minimalist (while still keeping our clothes on) is anyone up to pairing their minimalist SAK with a minimalist flashlight? A 5mm LED only month?
Ok, I am in with my compact 1911. What I am wondering is, are you out the moment you grab a dedicated tool your out, or if I go camping or hunting, I can't use my bushknife, saw and tomahawk?Nate

I am already thinking farmer or 111mm PE trekker to enter in that scenario, which is pretty much what I would carry on a EDC basis.
It's all nasal snuff. Plain in the box, and flavoured in the tins. At last count I'd got over 60 flavours to choose from Forced to choose between blueberry and toffee, I'd probably go for toffee (though the rum and raisin is very nice too) unless it was for all day and I'd ditch both and stick to the plain
I don't have a farmer or PE OHT. I have a SOSAK OHT, and that is one of the few shelf queens I have. Nate

Could you tell just by nose, which one is which?
To me, it seems using a dedicated tool for a specific task wouldn't take away from the challenge. I'm going to need pliers and other tools for house projects, but I'll leave them in the toolbox until they're needed. Does that sound about right?
I'm good to go <snip>I'll bounce between sets based on what I think I can get away with at the time, though I will have back up in the car too Yes, there is a pliers tool in each set. I will try to manage without it, but I need to cover that somehow. I have kept the tools simple, remebering I'd normally have a Diesel or MP400 or Spirit or .......
LOL!!!Nice legal talk.Nate
