Is the black with red shield Cadet a not for US model like the Pioneer version?

Colts comparo pics have me wanting one.

Black Cadet with red shield is a special only for Denmark.
There is a web shop that ship over-seas. (I dont know if it´s o.k. to link.)

Tha Cadet absolutely disapears in the pocket until you need but is sturdy enough for EDC stuff. Great but not exactly hand filling.

I bet you are allowed to PM me the link.  :tu:

If scissors arn't a deal breaker,then a Tinker,be it big or small,will be hard to beat.

But you should really get the following:
Tinker
Explorer
M1961,be it a Soldier or a Pioneer
Farmer
SwissChamp

Gee. Thanks for making it soooo much easier Kirk :rofl:. On Amazon I think the large tinker is cheaper than the small which isn't cool because I sort of want the small one more.

I didn't say  you had to get them all at once,even though this is MTo

Don't forget giving our good friend Syph some business :facepalm:
Yes, I highly recommend doing so.  You'll see my latest Syph custom in a week or so :)

My suggestion is a Wenger SI. Tough and useful but thin too and very comfortable to handle. A design classic!

Tinker or Pioneer would be my recommendation, though anything from Kirky's list would be good.  As would a Mountaineer, Cybertool 34, Ranger, XAVT...

After getting my Cybertool today in the mail I need to agree with Harry.

Get a Cybertool I already love mine.

Yes I know it is nothing like you said you wanted being big and such but whatever deal with it.  :pok:

Or if you want 1 awesome Sak to beat all saks, just get the black Pioneer, red shield, which is going for 28 euros at the moment, in Germany. Looks cool, pocketable, inexpensive so you won't feel bad using it... and the blade is awesome.

They ship to the US?

I really want to get a Mountaineer... I'd much prefer the metal file / nail file to a tiny saw. Since nobody would ever use a SAK saw for serious wood chopping, it's a mystery why it's on so many knives, while the metal file is such a rarity.

I can't justify the purchase of a mountaineer, however, as I have a Craftsman, which has everything I want. Pliars are awesome. Of course, it's quite chunky.

If I didn't have any any other Saks, I'd pick up a mountaineer if the price was reasonable. Funny how some Saks are inexplicably expensive.

Yep, I love my Mountaineer and whilst I think the wood saw is a great piece of kit keep coming back to the metal file for some reason. Mind you in a fire I'd still save my Fisherman first so what do I know ? :think:

I like it, just as crisp and snappy as I was hoping. Believe it or not, the awl was actually something I was most excited about. I've yet to have a decent awl on any of my tools, and now this is likely going to be paired up with my Sidekick as my outdoors duo(with a dedicated blade) on top of regular usage. I spoiled myself with the size of the Cadet though, it's so small it really just disappears and has a similar load-out without the back tools. I think the Cadet may see more carry time during school just because of how easy it is to carry.

I really don't mind it being smaller, and if the large and small tinker were the same price I likely would have opted for the small. SAKs aren't my primary blades, and rarely am I in a situation where they would need to be. But I realize they're very competent in just about any size they come in. I really like the cap lifter tool in general, even if I don't get a ton of use out of it, it's really just something that inspires confidence. I'm really glad I joined the clan, and overall I'm happy with what I've chosen.

Thanks for all the opinions and input guys(read as enabling), it's appreciated as always!

You got to do something about the SE blade on your Sidekick.
