MacGyver 2016 TV Series - Which SAK?
on: June 04, 2016, 04:18:00 PM
MacGyver is coming back soon. A reimagining of the television series of the same name, following a 20-something MacGyver as he creates a clandestine organization where he uses his knack for solving problems in unconventional ways to help prevent disasters from happening.

Do you think if he still will be using SAKs? If yes Which SAK should be his main tool in these series? If not, what would he be carring? Just a knife or some kind of multitool?

I personally would like to see him using a simple Tinker, maybe smaller version. What's you predictions?

Our luck--a bargain bin POS from the dollar store.  Either that or a Taylor Brands Schrade ST1 or a Gerber Suspension.

Seriously though--I'd like to see some of my EDC SAKs, like the Soldier '08 or Craftsman.   I feel the Soldier would be perfect in a survival situation paired with a fixed blade or larger folding knife (i.e. Buck 110).   

I wouldn't be surprised if they use brands other than Vic/Wenger, like Leatherman.

Though one strength of the classic 91mm SAKs is that they don't seem that threatening. While if you were captured or whatever with the Soldier I don't see anyone letting you keep that. But we'll see, wonder if there will be sponsorship deals around, or don't the manufacturers trust the new series to take off/ know they can't shake the Vic user image of Macgyver anyway.

but thread is still actual, what would you like to see in the series?

Given the SAK forming part of the title I think it's clear he's not changing his tool of choice.  I suspect the exact model will be as variable as it was in the original; whatever suits the needs in the episode best.

unrelated except to original series (which i did not care for anymore than i did The A-Team except for its rehab of vets in the public imagination),  BUT the starring actor locked himself out of his house one day, and did he break out his trusty SAK to solve the problem?

No.......he used an outside bench to smash his way through the french doors....no idea if alcohol played any part in this.

Co-workers heard about the incident and present him with the bench.....all painted up in  Swiss Army Knife style, and it called thereafter his Swiss Army Bench.

I've been a Mac fan forever, and have most of the original series on DVD.  The one SAK he never packed is the one I'd love to see him with....a Swiss Champ!  If not that, either a Swiss Spirit or the Swisstool.

The one in the title looks to be an '80s Wenger to me, which would predate the actor playing the role.   The new MacGyver must be like myself--carrying mostly knives and tools older than me!

I agree with you,  but, having a SwissChamp and doing something cool kinda removes the "macGuyver'ing aspect of it.  basically you have a whole toolbox.

Wonder if the show paid any royalties to Victorinox to use a SAK?  These days of subtle product placement, it would be unheard off that they'll feature a SAK without getting anything from Victorinox.

Otherwise, they'll purposely remove the trademark from the scales and this new McGyver is gonna end up looking like he's using a china-made no-name knife :P

It would be nice to have them equip Mac Jr. with a Swiss Tool, a Spirit or a CyberTool, all of which were introduced after the original series ended, that's what I'd like to see anyway, and not to judge a book by it's cover or anything, but this guy looks like he might have need for a Hail or a Jam.  :)

If this show is successful,it will have defied the odds.

Remakes of successful shows have a high rate of failure.

I guess there might come a scene when the - then still new to business - young Mac meets an old guy who turns out to have been a Jedi, who hands over a lightsaberrrrrrrrmmmmh.... an elderly guy from the hood who hands over his first swiss army knife.

So I was looking at the thread linked to this list and saw something funny.

They were talking about all the different SAKs that were used throughout the show and seemed pretty out off that MacGyver might of has 21 SAKs! 

They seem to think he may have had a problem lol.

Yeah, I mean ... 21 ?
Just 21?
Multiply by ten and you'll approach a much healthier number.

I'd say he's only got about half the number he might need and not nearly enough to be considered odd. :whistle:

He wouldn't even be considered odd if he carried all 21 all the time.

A Swisstool Spirit and/or the 111mm OHO models are a perfect fit due to their more modern look. I wouldn't mind seeing some Leathermans too, like the Wave or the Skeletool.
