Nice looking knives. Pretty Fox and a great old classic Wenger. It is Spartan Saturday again. Might have to load a photo. Best wishes. G

No hook on this Huntsman.

Not too long ago I thought the Huntsman was the only SAK I would ever need. I started buying them and wound up with 6. One is in wife’s “ready bag”. Two are kept in other convenient places. These three are “spares”. Then I started diversifying.

Get out your tackle box and let's all try this tip. Pick the cleanest hook you can find. If you have to scrape worm guts off one, then look around a little more. Okay. All together, as I talk us all through this... Aaaah alllawa wawala gagaoah.... I just realized I couldn't talk with a fish hook on my tongue. Just look at the picture instead. Best wishes. G

Gary - things seem a bit fishy. Hope all is well.

There seems to be lots of putting a fly line in your mouth for one reason or another. This was just one. It is common for someone to put the knots in their mouth when you are tying them. The lube lets you cinch the knots down tight.
This might be about the last fishing photo that I use here. I started to post something with the page about how to tie a Bimini twist, but decided not to. There is no way anyone would ever learn that knot without watching someone tie it. Not really complicated, just impossible to describe. Best wishes. G

There aren't many problems a Hunstman won't solve. Nice picture!

Interesting technique….I’m not sure I would trust myself manipulating a hook poised on the tip of my tongue. Things might get painful pretty quickly.

I’m happy to report that my replacement yellow scales arrived, so I was able to replace the yellow front scale on my Explorer that got cracked a few weeks ago. I wasn’t able to post for Four-Layer Friday yesterday because we lost power during a storm here in a Houston.

I’ve also been carrying an Explorer around pretty consistently for a the last 10 days or so, after I gave up on the Deluxe Tinker (I never seem to need the pliers).

It’s a great model and the in-line 3D Phillips is sometimes the only thing that will do! I wish it were longer though. It’s too short to work on most door knob screws, for instance, because you can’t get past the knob - the thickness of the SAK isn’t doing it any favors there either. Even in the 90 degree configuration, it doesn’t work very well for that. Oh well, Rambler to the rescue in that case!

Had to open a box to get my dandelion caffeine free “coffee” powder. Not a very technical use, but, it is what was in my pocket.

Gary - Glad to see Spring has sprung for you.

Jeff, too bad there is no badge for cranking an ancient Echo weed wacker. That is what I am going to have to do shortly. I bought this thing in the late 1980's.
I think it gets better gas consumption than it did when it was new. When I bought it, I could fill it up and run out the whole tank of fuel before I got tired. Now I can fill it up and by the time I get tired I still have plenty of gas left. Maybe both of us can run one more summer.
Everybody be sure to get out a Spartan and show up for Spartan Saturday tomorrow. We will have cocoa and little donuts with white powdery sugar on them. Yumm. Best wishes. G

Found this Wenger Master Fisherman hiding in my pile though the scaler is a bit different than what is depicted in the Wiki.

Very nice!!! What model is this one? I have not seen that style driver before.

AzteCypher · **Reply #1252 on:** April 14, 2024, 07:25:55 AM

This one is a Wenger Waterfowler that was sold exclusively by Cabela's. I picked it up in a knife lot auction. It's a shotgun choke tube tool that would be used to remove and attach choke tubes on shotguns. I don't own any choke tubes but I really liked the uniqueness of it.

Four Layer Friday time has come. Today it is a Huntsman. I bought two SAKs that were marked down at a Walmart a long weary time ago. A Spartan and a Huntsman. Both red cell, since that was the choice. Spartan cost about 8 bucks. Huntsman was 14, I think. Corkscrews with the ragged line on them. I put them both back in their boxes and they got swapped off for something or other. I didn't really like the red handles or the spear blades. I was probably carrying an Schlieper stock knife at the time, or maybe some other 3 blade. Could have been a Bear Paw or a Puma.
I didn't really like SAK knives then. I had a Pocket Pal in high school, but didn't carry it at all. I remember carrying a Case whittler at that time. Three blade millwork knife. This Huntsman is the second one I ever owned. Bought it last summer. Then I got a red one. For some reason.
Best wishes. G

Here's one of my more favourite four-layers (but not as favourite as my Climber Deluxe!). Not entirely sure why they didn't make more of these (Climber Lites), maybe as a production model, you know? I feel like it's probably that flashlight technology develops so quickly that they're soon rendered obsolete and thus are seen more as replaceable items than most other SAKs. The lights, however, IMO, have reached the point where I think they're powerful enough that I can keep them indefinitely at this point and not want to trade up to a more powerful one.
