Day 7

I will gladly admit that this was a totally lazy weekend. Frightful weather, so I spent most of my time at home playing with the kids. My boy's toy train ran out of battery again. For the sake of the screws I resorted to a fine screwdriver this time. I am still impressed what a broad range of screws you can drive with ordinary SAKs. This can really get you out of a pinch in situations where you do not have access to other tools. However, if you do, I feel you are better served with dedicated screwdrivers unless you have the inline Philips or a Cybertool available.

Anyway, back to today's Ranger operations. They were limited to the use of the brilliant Vic scissors. This is one SAK tool which in my opinion beats most of the dedicated alternatives - small scissors just do not come any better than that. I have used Vic scissors (in particular the 58mm ones) countless times for emergency nailcare purposes. But I will spare you any pictures of that and rather treat you to today's festive opening of a pack of cheese. ;)

(Seven tools used)

Beautiful. If I ever start to become a collector, I will want a stainless inlay "Camping" knife for sure

kamakiri Day 6:

Trimmed some loose threads:


Also opened some Nerf stuff in clamshells with the small blade. Opened one of the packages that came yesterday with the same.

This is one of the '05+ Rangers with the smooth (pad?) printed scales and the stainless metal saw.

Good old thread cutting - another one of those things were SAK scissors frequently shine :cheers:

By the way, how many Rangers have you got, Kamakiri? At least a platoon it seems :salute:

Day 6: Swapped out for my early 80's Master Craftsman today.  It has the split Philips head for opening tins.

Nice one. Too bad there aren't many of those tins around anymore.

Day 7

Busy day at work, but there is always time for some nail care. The file on recent SAKs is confusing: the Vic manual suggests that the side without the nail nick is the nailfile. However, the picture in the manual shows the old style file and my impression from examinig the new style file is that it is actually the side with the nail nick that is finer. A cruel trick by Victorinox ???.

Anyway, once I got used to the file, I found my nails could cope with both sides. I just wish I'd know which one is which...

Just mail call duty today. 


Spent most of the day organizing crap...so no real SAK needs there.

Agreed on the thread cutting with scissors. Used to do a LOT of that when I was working in an office.

I think total headcount for the Rangers is about 2 doz. counting the ones in the mod fodder boxes. Might be more. :think:

And I can't say for sure that there is a 'fine' side of the stainless metal saw.  :dunno: Maybe just 'less coarse'.  ;)
