Nascar remind me the combo that I'm using during last months. This jetbeam use one AA battery. Generally I add a 91 or 84mm sak

Hi ya all

would love to carry one of these occasionally, trouble is, most of them are old as the hills (notice the one-branch springs on the scissors) and too precious to tote along.

actually, I have a beaten-up one for Edc. The unique orange peeler tool works wonders.

Now that the CYC2 Challenge is over, I thought that it would be nice to continue to share photos and narratives about our Executives.  For example, I took my first Executive "Family" photo.  The four on the right are new and spend almost all of their time in their boxes.  The top rear center Executive showed up in excellent condition and I cleaned/sterilized it and kept the scales for future polishing/scale restoration practice.  The bottom two center Executives have been completely reconditioned.  The top two right have been cleaned/sanitized but I am not sure whether they have been reconditioned (some of us seniors suffer from CRS--"Can't Remember Stuff"). The bottom three have had their scales removed and I'll have to examine them to see if I had started reconditioning them (see CRS)...

Some teasers...

Scissors - What are the differences between older scissors with the screw and the newer riveted scissors?  Hint: one cuts better and has a groove for the spring.

Back Spring - Do you have trouble extending all your tools for a photo?  Does one of your tools not deploy until you close an opposite tool?  Hmmm.

Nail File - Why do some offered on eBay have the file side so stained?

74mm Scales - Where can I get new scales?

Scratched Tools - Can I get rid of the scratches?

Cleaning - What should I know about keeping my Executive clean?

Snap - What do I do if my Executive's tools have no snap like my other SAKs?

Sharpening - What should I know about sharpening my Executive?

These teasers are offered to demonstrate that there is plenty to talk about in addition to sharing our use stories and photos.

 :cheers:

Jim

Good thoughts on the Executive!  I like to point out that it punches way above its weight class--lots of function in a conveniently small package!

After the first CYC challenge, I started the Executive Lounge topic in the hopes that Executive owners would continue to share photos & experiences with this special Swiss Army Knife.  After a steady diet of photos and thoughts during this challenge, it would be a shame to see the enthusiasm evaporate. 

In an attempt to revive the topic, I posted a "Family" photo and some teasers the day following the CYC2 completion.  Maybe it can be a weekly think like Swiss Champ Sunday.

I'll repeat this post in the Executive Lounge Topic thread in the hopes that more CYC2 challengers will see it.

 :like:. Great idea NorCal!  My Executive is still riding with me.  I love my full sized SAKs, but after CYC2 and FoBo's challenge, I love carrying my smaller knives.

Thanks Barry!  Folder Beholder is an amazing collector!  She has some ultra fine quality SAK specimen's in various categories including some excellent vintage examples.  Somewhat recently (I think), she has developed a passion for 58mm SAKs including some MiniChamp mods. I'll have to take some time and check out the challenge she started from start to finish.

I have several 58mm Classics like many SAK enthusiasts but have only been using the MiniChamp II for the last couple of years since they are attached to my car keys and I always have one with me whenever I am out and about.  Previously, I always had a black 58mm Classic SD attached to my key ring. During the first CYC challenge, I picked up an Executive to see what all of the fuss was about and got hooked.  I now have a whole new appreciation for 74mm SAKs and their tools.

:cheers:

Jim

As I've mentioned many times, I've been EDCing an Executive for as long as I can remember.  I also keep a Classic on my keyring.

My biggest challenge is deciding on whether to pair my Executive with a Cadet or Pioneer.  Lately, it's been a Pioneer.

El Corkscrew has a best pairing thread with a lovely poll.  :tu:    COMBO THREAD

And there was a Schronogomy club for a while, but I think you have to carry more than two SAK's or tools to qualify.  :think:
