I keep coming back to Yeoman as my favorite model.  Here is a recent one I modded, then added titanium scales with a copper cross that I found from Australia.

Beautiful Yeoman, JPH.  It's one of my favorites too.  I have a carrier that lives in my EDC bag for those occasions when whatever's in my pocket doesn't have scissors or inline Phillips (Cadet, Pioneer), and a NOS Shelf Queen tucked away...

I've been wanting a Yeoman for years.  When I found out that Victorinox doesn't make them anymore and I couldn't affordably get one I wanted one even more!  This weekend I finally got the nerve to attempt my first mod.  Started with a Compact and added the mag glass layer from an Explorer and made my first Yeoman.  Added emerald green plus scales to make it my favorite color.

Nice work, Icepick and jph!  I too had to mod a Yeoman as prices are too rich for my pocket! It’s a great knife, a more pocketable Explorer - just the ticket! :cheers:

I passed on this SAK at the flea market several times.  It was in a Explorer box and I never bothered to open the box.  I have no clue why I just kept passing it up. 

One day while at that venders stand I picked up the box and opened it  :o.  Oh my, what the heck!  I bought it then came here to ask if it was the real deal.  Its a +B with changed scales.  I've never carried it but as I was relaxing one day I took it out and have been debating if it would be a SAK I'd like to carry.  I've been getting reacquainted with my golfer so for now I think I'll keep debating.  Cool SAK but I think its time for me to get a Compact.

It looks legit to me, as I have one too.  The great thing about the Yeoman is that Philips layer.  It makes up for the one thing the Compact lacks, a Philips screwdriver.  Nice find ..you never know!

I took off the scales when I got it ( a while ago ) and the peeing is legit. 

Are the Explorer lovers around?  Since I've moved away from the Explorer the Yeoman has me mixed my feelings. 

Good point on the phillips tho.

I didn't think seeing a naked SAK would cause a urinary accident !  :rofl:

Good point on the phillips tho.

I have an old mag/phillips layer and a newer one. After carrying the explorer, scientist, yeoman and various mods for a time I thought I loved each one, but I am starting to think I just don’t like the magnifying glass enough to warrant carrying the extra layer. I like the phillips of course, but the can opener does the job pretty much 99% of the time along with a plethora of other uses.

I do find it satisfying to start fires with the mag glass but that is so rarely needed - especially if you have a tiny ferro rod in the toothpick slot and tinder in the corkscrew.

Its an odd feeling to stray away from my beloved Explorer.  It was one SAK that made a lot of sense for me and one I do like.  My Yeoman and Passenger weren't ones I'd carry over my Explorer.  They made sense on paper but I never bonded with either.  Great SAKs but my Explorer always got pocket time.

My Champion is in another class IMO so I do like to carry it while around the house.  As for the mag glass, I enjoyed having it but I finally decided to get a real loop.  I believe that was the turning point for me.  While I too like the inline phillps I've managed pretty well without it. 

I haven't abandoned my Explorer but I'm not sure it'll get quite the pocket time it once did.
