Good morning!  Day 6th, I'm late to the party and I don't even have my SAK put together.
Today's carry will be a SilverTech Midnite Vagabond.  It has a broken scissor spring, but the seller included a new spring.  :tu:
Rest in peace ColoSwiss, you will always be remembered.

Thanks to everyone who has complemented my pics.

Day 6.

Used one PTC to fix the scissors screw on the other PTC. I don't use the jewelers SD very often but it's proven its usefulness the few times I do use it.

Thanks Berry!

In my opinion the PTC has 4 big advantages over any of the 58mm and 75mm.

1. Wenger put the large SD on the thicker combo tool making it a better SD and pry bar then the 58mm nail file SD.

2. I prefer SAK's with the backside Phillips opposed to the CS. so I have no place to put the micro SD. The PTC solves this problem.

3. The PTC works on more screws then the 58mm combo of SDs because both the SDs are 2D instead of 3D Phillips.

4. It has an inline awl. Who wouldn't use an awl?

Excellent Barry, just Excellent !! I'll be round in 5 (days I guess) save some for me  :cheers:

And the scales on that Classic are brilliant too - no one could say you're barking* for carrying that eh?

Day 6 for me with my Ambassador opening some letters, going to meetings and a little nail fettling too. All in one layer.

*dogs in space though ... that's some imagination there ?!

Unfortunately Vic discontinued the worlds most useful SAK so you'll have to find a used one. They're still pretty common on ebay.

I don´t need a PTC. Not at home, and not at work. But I understand why you guys like it so much.
One of these days I´ll get one for my collection.

I don´t need an MC either. A Classic would be sufficient (traditional Classic, not an SD).
But I like the MC because it´s both a cool tool and a cool toy  8), it´s so small,  :ahhh and it´s great for showing off.  :D

3. True or False, I have over 100 SAKs
4. Name of first boy I ever kissed.  Hint: one of you in the challenge has the same first name.
5. Color of my first car.
6. True or False, I collect postage stamps.
7. Would I rather climb Mt. Everest or Scooter ride in Italy?
8. Which smilie do I want to use more often but don't?  Hint: It's a sign holding smilie.
9. Which would I more likely order, Steak or Chili dog?
10. Which knife do I want but haven't purchased yet?  Douk Douk or Gerber Dime?

There you go!

***Edit, this challenge is for the folks in the 30-day smalls challenge.
