Opinions needed on Vagabond companion knife
on: December 17, 2018, 05:21:14 PM
I am enjoying my green alox Vagabond.  It has sentimental value to me and has become part of my security blanket.
Tools that I love are the blades, scissors, nail file, phillips combo tool and cut & pick blade....so yeah, all of its tools.


It's missing some tools, so I bought this Walker, an 84mm knife as a companion, but I am not sure it is going to be the ideal fit for me.


What I am now thinking is I'd like in 84mm, but there are no 84mm plus scales, so I will probably have to have it made in 91mm is the following:

Plus scales as I like that removable pen, toothpick, pin, and tweezers
wood saw
metal saw
opening layer or combo tool
corkscrew w/micro driver

I'm trying to figure out which knife I need to buy to get this done.  :think:  :dunno:
Plus I'm open to other ideas.

Sounds like a Ranger minus the scissors to me.  :think:

I'm sure there is a thread somewhere showing a 84mm plus scale mod.  My solution to the pen is a Manager.  In you situation the Vagabond being sentimental is a must keep.  So, maybe a telescoping pen for your keychain?  There are a few options online.  TEC makes one that looks nice.  I'm not sure of the others. 

As far as your SAK  :dunno:

I agree with twiliter...it sounds like a Ranger less the scissors. :D

True, I was thinking minus scissors and minus blade layer.  :tu:

:twak:  I now have two Expeditions because someone posted an inexpensive new one on eBay the other day.

Thank you for your thoughts Aloha, I do have a TEC pen or similar in my cart on Amazon, but haven't bought it yet. 
I was trying to stay with the small theme, so I will look for that 84mm scale mod thread.

Yes, I may go that route.  That is why I like to get input from you folks.   :salute:

I forgot I have this telescoping pen, a Zebra, great for pocket carry, just doesn't attach to the keychain.

How about a new Sportsman with the new cut file?  Just add the woodsaw from your Walker and Aloha’s pen mod and all your tools are there.  Only 3 layers and 84mm to boot.   :cheers:
