I was going to be a wise guy and post a pic of one with only pliers layer, but I never did one.  The thinnest one I did was a 2 layer.

I am not a huge fan of SAK pliers, but I do see their uses. And their rarity. If you can find them and they work for you, buy it. If you cant...

A nice alternative if a pair of 4" hemostats. And they lock. Sometimes too aggressively, to be sure, but they are cheap enough to mod, to.

I'd like to also mention the Leatherman Squirt P4 or PS4.  The pliers on the Squirts are really nice for their size.  Plus you get a nice array of other tools.  Great pairing for a simple 2 layer SAK.

No one mentioned the Angler? It's 1mm thinner than the Deluxe Tinker.

Great suggestion- the Squirt does look like a good alternative.

I pair my 84mm Tinker with my Squirt P4.  The Squirt does come in PS4 flavor which add scissors but there has been reported issues with those scissors.

That's why I always want scissors on my Vic knife. The scissors are so much better than I can get on an accompanying pliers tool. The Phillips on pliers tool is usually not a problem, and the flat drivers often make up for the missing technician type driver on your typical Swiss knife - but the scissors .... not so easy to find a quality substitute for those  :-\

The fish scaler is excellent for spearing pitted olives out of a jar.  I haven't found anything else to do with it.  I'm pretty sure no one has ever really used it on a fish?

I like the fish scaler more for the "ruler." It's helpful when I'm in the woods taking pictures of various plants and animals. I use the ruler to provide scale (size) in the image (on small insects of course) for overall identification purposes.

I´m using another Vic tool for that.

Sorry for the confusion.
It was my first post here.
I was refering to Sak with just scissors and pliers. I have a 111mm locksmith (blade + saw + file) that I love and It would be the perfect complement.

Welcome to the forums then! :D

That SAK is a custom built by Robert.
He is known on this forum as Syph007.
If you want a price estimate of a SAK like that, you should send him a message.
Be advised though, as a spam countermeasure, you need to have made 5 posts before you can send any messages.

Btw eBay has a special mechanic listed for $100 .

And, despite the fact that the seller still has 3 Special Mechanics (NIB) for sale at that price, another one sold today for $157.50.

Do people not know how to search on eBay?
