I'm new here and I bet this has been asked countless times...is there any way to get my hands on a yeoman mechanic? It has the exact configuration I'm looking for!ThanksChris
I would like to get a bunch of SAK lovers together and write victorinox to reissue the yeoman mechanic. Do you think this is possible?
DIY or eBay, probably. It's not that hard to make one yourself - you'll need a Swiss Champ and a Compact. Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum!What do you use the compact for? I just got done watching a youtube mod...do you use the compact as a tool or do you take stuff out?
Honestly,If I were a die hard collector who just payed $120 for a Yeoman Mechanic, I'd be pretty bummed if Vic would suddenly offer it as a standard model again...
The whole rare/collectable/special edition thing kinda bites big when you want it for use though.Value gets twisted to some different levels.Function becomes secondary.
Not to burst your bubble mate, but i wouldn't hold my breath on that one.....Vic won't even bring back the 84mm scissors, and there is a way larger crowd asking for that....

It's like a self imposed nightmare - Gotta pay over the odds for a tool that isn't going to be used for its intended purpose because it costs so much. Blurgh

I really wanted a Bushcrafter for EDC, but not pay for a limited edition. Also, Farmers are readily available so I don´t need to worry much about getting another one when the Bushcrafter breaks or AWOLs.
