Personally, I like the Hiker because of the addition of a wood saw of the Hiker, and the extra thickness is outweighed by it, in my opinion.What do you think of the Hiker youselves? Love it/Hate it?
Wow, that sounds like a nice mod. Any pics? When you talk about the fine screwdriver, do you mean the corkscrew one?
No, there's a fine screwdriver back tool - see pic below of my mod

How does it compare to the removable corkscrew version?I wonder whats the difference, pocket-wise, between 2 and 3 layers?Thanks all.
I bought a pouch, I might use it. On the other hand, attaching the hiker to a lanyard, and the lanyard to a clip on the pocket with some sort of slip knot or lasso kind of knot sounds good too.I might even carry it lose. I need to have the SAK in my pocket to decide. I wonder if kind of trousers would have an effect. The SAK might not jingle around and be so annoying in tighter trousers? It would stay in place because of friction.

Love it/Hate it? I'm thinking of getting either of these two as they're currently available in my place. Did you find the saw useful since you bought the Hiker?Wow, this thread has lots of memories. I no longer carry a Hiker, but a bigger SAK.It's a bladeless woodsman, 4 layers thick.And whenever I think of slimming it down, eliminating the saw never is never considered as a serious option.Even though I use the saw once a week, or once a fortnight, it is very useful when I need it, and I like using it.My mindset is that my bladeless woodsman is the only 91mm SAK that I EDC regularly, so it should have all the tools I MIGHT need, and the tools I like. It's nearly as thick as a 5 layer ranger, due to the thick scissors and magnifying glass layers, pretty much the largest I want to carry daily.A nice companion for a Rambler and a plier tool with no saw or scissors.Basically, I like the saw, and it is very useful when I need it, and you should get a SAK with a saw to try it out, if you don't already have one. If you never use it, go for a slimmer SAK if you like. And a recommendation, the MTO store would be a cheap way to get a Camper(has saw).By the way, I don't like the backside Philips on the Hiker or Tinker, and much prefer the corkscrew like on a Spartan or Camper, and inline Philips if I really need/want it, like on an Explorer. But that's just my preference.
Hiker for Day and or wilderness and Tinker for night and or urban.
I'm a corkscrew guy myself but have s special place in my heart for the Hiker.
Did you notice how I did not push my corkscrew agenda? ?

The funny thing is all the surveys we do here shows about dead even choice between the two, but in practice in my custom orders very very rarely do people wan the corkscrew. Probably 5% of the time.https://forum.multitool.o...ex.php/topic,11976.0.html
