Fieldmaster or Huntsman?
on: July 03, 2020, 12:13:55 AM
Well...I’ve just taken delivery of a Huntsman Lite which adds an inline Phillips and the light, of course, with plus scales so you get the two combined into one...and more besides. I was kinda thinking the light is a bit gimmicky but I used it within two days of having it! I think between this, my compact and champ I now have every edc requirement covered...!

I have the Spartan lite and that light is very handy.
People often say it's to dim but I find it very Bright for a light that runs on Watch batteries ,

I like the Huntsman Lite...

And I think the only tool I might miss when I carry one is the Metal Saw.

I mostly use Spartan Lites as just Lites...or mod fodder for the Lite module/layer.

Would rather a Woodsman if I had an extra layer above a Huntsman. I'd get more use out of the magnifying glass than an LED

I agree, does a great job of illuminating behind the fridge when stuff drops behind it!

That’s the one problem I have getting the perfect archery SAK. The wood saw  (removing fallen branches etc) and metal file/saw (sharpening points) only come together on the larger formats. Ranger has always been my list but I just can’t bring myself to get one as the champ covers all  bases! 4 layers 2 saws and I’m sold. I have an Evo 17 which is nearly there but the nail file isn’t up to the job of point sharpening!

As I understand it the LED is much better than it used to be.

I'd love to get my hands on a Mountaineer Lite.

No, sorry.  IIRC when the Silvertech Signature Lite came out it was the first to have an upgraded LED and everything else followed on from that.  Without checking that must be 8 years ago or so. :shrug:

Great points. Now if I made it without scissors or compact style that could be a great 3 or 4 layer option. I have a hard time ‘giving up’ scissors in any mod build, but might have to give one a try.

You are pointing out that there are times when you need or want the two saws...and little else will matter aside from at least one blade.

I think they are brighter after say 2012. Most of those have the newer gray housing. Best bet is to get the clear housing. I think those are 2018+ but not sure.
