Only a nerd like me would know this, but Topeak released two McGuyver tools in the past. Larger one was the Topeak McGuyver XS and smaller version Topeak McGuyver XT. They were discontinued and replaced with current Alien I, II, & III. Have both of them. Great tools for their time.

McGuyver is more than just the SAK, using anything available to solve the problems he faces. So I'd like to see a simple modle used

Not many people can make a mullet look OK, in fact RDA might be the only one. David Spade sure didn't help it's lack of appeal...  :P

Here's a screen grab of the non-SAK knife he's making that bong with...er..bomb, or birdfeeder.  I'm always wary about reboots.  DID NOT APPROVE of female Cylons that look like humans. 

I saw an episode of Cheers the other day, this one:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0539926/

and in it Cliff Claven pulls out his Swiss army knife and says he's got the deluxe model "with the toothpick/tweezers combo".  Later after he uses it to remove some bolts from the floorboards at Boston Garden (the basketball court), when they discover plywood underneath, Cliff says "Great! I can use the saw!" That's such a SAK enthusiant mentality...finding reasons to use it! Was a fun episode. Couldn't tell what SAK it actually was.

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.
I dunno, I recall one episode where Mac was stopped by a hard-ass small town police chief who frisked him and arrested him on the spot for a "concealed weapon."

Another time (one of his Old West dreams, the first one, I believe), at the end of the dream sequence,  a Swiss migrant gave Mac a pocketknife he'd made, and when Mac woke up, he still had it in his hand, and it looked like a wooden-scaled Soldier or Pioneer,  with the waffle grip.  The MacGyver wiki says it was a Hardwood Spartan.  Granted, I'm running on a 25+ year-old memory of one scene.

I just saw a clip of the new show and it looks like he's sporting a Climber or a Camper....3 layer with corkscrew for sure.

I guess that's inflation since in the original series 2-layer models were most common... good that they're keeping it reasonably minimalist though.

I could see him carrying an 08 Soldier. If he went the LM route, I could see him carrying a Rebar or ST300.

In the latest? preview, he is using what appears to be a very thick-handled BO multitool.
