Thanks all for the encouragement!
Day 19!
Another pen day.  I probably use the pen, mini screwdriver and magnifier more than the blade at this time.
I love plus scales!

Thank you!
Day 20!
Sometimes I think I really don't use a knife much, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to carry one every day.
The other knives I like are Opinels.  I don't have many, actually only 3 of the size 8 as seen here and the only one that gets used is the left one in olive wood:

Nice looking group of knives. I have all the different sizes of Opinel in Stainless, and a few limited ones. The largest one, the #13 giant, is great for splitting open a watermelon. It has about a 9 inch blade.

Opinels offer a lot of value at a very reasonable price.  They are great slicers. :like: :tu: :tu:

I agree Vicman.  I don't think there are too many tasks a 13 wouldn't be up to!

Took my SAK to my favorite hiking area.  Big Morongo Canyon Preserve. 

My wood saw always likes having its photo taken next to a cut limb:

I think that the saw is one of those SAK tools(along with the corkscrew, etc) that works just as well, if not better, as a dedicated tool of the same size, you know what I mean?  :cheers:

Thank you all for following as I make the run for the badge, Day 24.
Needed to remove this side blinker from my van.  Used the combo tool as a pry tool, it came off easily so that I could install the one with the reflector.
Old grey part seen in the front (missing the lens), installed part on the van, thanks to my SAK!

Thank you.
Some thoughts after using the Yeoman mod for a while now.
I really seem to need a pry tool for stuff...not even sure why prying happens so often, but it does.  :think:
Using the wood saw just doesn't come up in daily living. 
The newest mod knife I had made doesn't include a wood saw which is uncharacteristic of what I have tended to always want.  Also, on my newest mod, I had a full opener layer kept instead of opting for the combo tool.

I agree on the combo tool. More often than not it's simply a clumsy thing  :think:
