Day 10

Unexpected mail this morning so Sigsetter went to work :D

Won't be posting the soldiers in the "latest sak" thread since these are potential BYSAKs for MTo members... Keeping them aside for now.


Nice pic Syem! :like: :tu: :tu:

Clearly there are some great minds in this thread (leaving mine aside to be frank).

Nice pic Barry! :like: :tu: :tu:

Nice pics you all!

Day 10
This was a modded alox MiniChamp, so I didn't mind taking a sharpie after it to turn it into a nice, well-loved fuschia color instead of the silver that it was.
Rest in peace ColoSwiss, you will always be remembered.

I think an Alox MiniChamp would pair nicely with a 91mm Compact.  That way I'd have the pen, toothpick and tweezers too which I miss by having the Alox scales.

I may have bit off more then even the mighty 65mm can chew.

Jeep the SAK of the auto world or is it SAK the Jeep of the Knife world?

Of course the other thing with summer can be midgies as our friends the Scots call them. I was beside myself with amusement when I found the official midge forecast  :sa:

Your sharpie work has paid off FoBo - I'd have said that's a nicely worn factory colour ! And posting this pic that reminds me my MiniChamp should by now be in transit.  :popcorn: Patience isn't my strong suit and I'm really looking forward to its arrival...  I probably wouldn't go for an Alox one as I'm a die hard T&T fan.

That said pairing a it with a Compact could be a winning combination  :cheers:

I think you will love the MiniChamp Bill! :cheers:
I always have a MiniChamp with me.  :D

Remember that when using a blade or scissors you can open an opposing tool such as the cuticle pusher, nailfile, or ruler/screwdriver to extend the handle,

The letter opener blade(curved blade) is great for cutting cardboard.

The cuticle pusher can be used as a screwdriver or small pry tool.

The orange peeler works great for opening clamshell packs by hooking the point on the underside into the plastic and pulling the hook.

I got Little Wonky out for service today only to see that his shield is missing.  :facepalm:
I hope I find it.  Wonky is okay, but wonky and tacky is pushing it.

Impressive handiwork there FoBo!.

I've been out on a 50 mile bike ride with friends today and don't carry a SAK with me when I'm out. I did have cause to get my Crank Brothers bike multi tool out to help a mate with his bottom bracket but now I'm home I have my White Classic and Black Swisschamp for company.
