The Greatest SAK Combo Thread

This one shows some potential. Climber and Rally.

That's certainly a contender for GSC.     That Rally is great.  It's the ultimate compliment to a corkscrew/scissor SAK

Does the Victorinox web site have an error in the manager's description?
If I'm not mistaken, according to SAK wiki, the manager DOES NOT have a toothpick, as it has the pen instead. However on the Vic site it lists toothpick.

[Don Pablo]

I believe that the Manager comes with both, so you can take your pick between the toothpick and the tweezers, choose which one to put in the single slot available.

My Manager only came with the tweezers.  I had a spare pic that I put in there instead.

Thanks guys for the feedback. Sounds like whether it comes with tweezers or not, you have to pick 2 of the 3, tweezers, pen, or toothpick.
It is a mistake then I think on the Vic website ...

[this_is_nascar]

The pen comes standard on the Manager.  Without the pen, it's a Rambler.  I'm pretty sure you'll get tweezers with it and positive that you'll get the pen.

A manager coming with no pen is like a car coming with no wheels.

Got it this_is_nascar. That's what I was led to believe that you don't get a toothpick on purchase. My point was, even if they do supply a toothpick in the box, you can't carry all three with you, (I mean the SAK is not designed to do that, only 2 holes in the scales).
So, I am assuming the Vic website has an error on it, see how anal I am? ha ha

Some may consider this excessive (not RoSchro of course, I just don't need a saw at work).  Realistically though, keeping the 91 & 93mm in the fifth pocket is pretty MANAGEable.

The Hunter Pro added to my usual carry.

[Frater_Martin]

Here is my EDC combo. It covers 99% of my every day needs. The most used tools are opened.
On a USB stick are stored soft-sopies of all my documents and there is a kit of some portable software for any needs.
Thereby, I have three SAKs: two hardware and one software.

[Bamba]

My first post ever on the forums, so... HI EVERYBODY!


I think this combo has not been suggested so far, but it's been my pocket EDC for the last few months.
(Maybe it's a world first, dunno  )

Lumberjack + Rambler

Pros:
- Very slim (Lumberjack 8mm thick, Rambler 10.5mm)
- Lightweight (71gr total)
- Minimal redundancy (only cap lifter/wire stripper is redunant really)
- Woodsaw & scissors! in a package that weighs the same as a Pioneer

Cons:
- Light duty... especially when it comes to the drivers
- The Lumberjack is not a regular production knife

Pardon the dark, uninspiring pic.

Welcome, Bamba!
Awesome combo and first post!   I may include lack of awl and corkscrew in the cons list, but still, great combo!

Thank you and the previous posters for the warm welcome 
Yeah I had to give up SOMETHING... for the weight it still has a nice array of the "core" tools in SAKs. I dig the awl though.

[Bamba]

Nice first post Bamba! Welcome. Is the Lumberjack something you made yourself? 

Thanks for the welcome magentus,
Nope the lumberjack (in alox) used to be a production knife (not sure the history), SwissBianco sold quite a few runs of those in the last few years.
However Victorinox re-issued the same knife in 2014 I think, renamed as the "Walker" (cellidor only, of course).
They go quite cheap, and I think they make great minimalist hiking/backpacking SAKs.

[Mini]

Walker and Executive is one of my favorite and carried combo

I'm getting more use out of this Rally then I thought I would. I'm finding it pairs well with a lot of different SAK's. Like the Swisschamp.

Honestly I very seldom use my 58mm scissors any way, Just need to make a Rally signature... or maybe I could take care of that issue myself

This thing is definitely showing me the 58mm line has something to offer in usefulness. And sometimes less is really more.

Don't get me wrong I still prefer the 65mm line of tools but that little Phillips driver is almost perfect EDC size.

If only the 58mm line had a jewelers screw driver and awl.

And then you get older..... and the facial/nasal hair develop a mind and growth rate of their own.... and plan a takeover.... and suddenly the nimble 58mm scissors are your best friend 😁

Companion and Farmer.

I don't know that this is the "greatest" combo ever, but it is my favorite combo. I carry this combination (Solider, Classic SD) more than any other.

[El Corkscrew]

Awlsome combos, dudes!
