I would, but I'm having trouble thinking of a question.  And, I'll be on the road all day tomorrow, so I won't be able to check in until I get home and that could really hold up the game.

If anyone is struggling with it, here's a hint- the name rhymes with Bike Corn.  :D

Seriously guys, those questions are hard... Since I will never be able to answer one of those questions I will simply jump the line and ask one 8). Although I'm not even certain I know the answer, but I'm sure you guys can help me out :angel:

BIGGER IS BETTER
It is simple, which MT has the biggest:
a) SAW?
b) BLADE?
c) SCISSORS?

P.S.: feel free to expand the list

It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

Ranger line have very long blade, there is however one that has the longer blade, measured from pivot to tip, or at least when I measure it :D.
I'm fairly sure the saw on my model is longer too ;).

As for the scissors, anyone got a measurement from hinge to tip on the Ranger scissors? I believe there is a model that has larger ones.

I think you mean the right tool.
The Wenger SwissGrip has the longest knife blade I know off, it is just a smidget longer than the one of the Ranger line (although the Ranger line has the longer edge). I'm also fairly sure it has the longest saw in business.
You have a beginners question for us?

Anyone, care to take a stab at the largest scissors?

Shears are shears not scissors, the one I'm thinking about it really are scissors and they are a mile bigger than the one on the Surge :D
Although I would be interested to see them.
