What discontinued SAK to recreate?
on: November 11, 2019, 06:17:19 PM
I’m looking for ideas on which discontinued SAKs to recreate via the mod route.

Yeoman seems popular, but what else? Quite a few of the back Phillips models are gone, maybe Master Craftsman?

I’m limited to 91mm and current models for donor tools. But open to ideas about what to consider.  :dunno:

Woodsman is a pretty cool one - first mod I ever did.

It's quite a popular model and was last available as a Mexican Ltd edition for Fathers day a few years back.

N.B the in-line awl was a later addition - the Woodsman has a small blade in its place.  :D

You’re going to need to help me out with that one magentus, I thought the Woodsman was an early Huntsman?  :think:

I'd have to say Yeoman and Woodsman as well. I've been tossing around the same idea but haven't seriously pursued it yet.

Not really recreating, but how about a bladeless SAK? Plenty of times i wish it would exist.

Woodsaw, Metal File, Scissors, Combo Tool and Inline Phillips. Back maybe with CS, Awl and Hook.

I would love to have something like that, as i am forced to carry a bladeless wingman instead  :ahhh

Passenger is very tempting! Trick would be to find an old Explorer with the grey mag and longer Phillips to make it semi-authentic.  :salute:

Sir Vic - bladeless is a cool idea. Off topic, but I have some ideas on this too.  :cheers:

I’ve got a spare plier layer left over from a build, so that’s a no brainer for sure.  :cheers:

So one build definitely confirmed.

This only would hit the nail on the head. Another would be an 84mm salesman with a saw. Not as easy to do these days.

Passenger is very tempting! Trick would be to find an old Explorer with the grey mag and longer Phillips to make it semi-authentic.  :salute:

Sir Vic - bladeless is a cool idea. Off topic, but I have some ideas on this too.  :cheers:

 :popcorn: :popcorn:

I would donate some of my SAKs for a bladeless prototype  :pok:

A bladeless SAK is not a bad thing either. I made one some time ago and have used it plenty of times. Mostly when going out for a beer or two when blades are a big no but I still alwant a tool or two

Trailguide, Yeoman, Clipper, Scientist, Passenger, any of the discontinued 2/3 layers would be great  :woohoo:

As for "bladeless"... i wouldn't go that far (for me), cause i feel a "pocket knife" with out any blade kind of defeats the purpose i guess...  :think:

However i would say a model with only the small blade and another implement instead of the big blade, most of the times it's what i use for blade use anyway....

I think the bladeless is a good option for people who frequent places that do not allow knives; like airports, schools, courthouses, certain entertainment venues, certain employers, etc.  You can pair it with a folding knife so you have a blade.  Then when you go where knives are not allowed, you just leave the knife and not all the other tools.

Some great ideas everyone.  :hatsoff:

I guess I’m coming from a slightly different angle. Discontinued SAKs are less common my way (Africa), so there’s some novelty recreating a SAK not easily available.

Knife laws are fairly lax here too, so outside airports, SAKs are rarely frowned upon. That said, it would be fun to build a bladeless one, so it’s not off my list (Sir Vic, will share some ideas with you).

The ‘plus’ or ‘minus’ option is good too. Have built a few Yeoman+ designs and a SC- recently. I’ve seen a couple Champions on offer locally, and minus the scaler would be nice!

But back to topic, I agree with MacGyver that the 2/3 layered discontinued SAKs are good options. But I am also looking at some of the 5/6 layered back Phillips SAKs that are no longer with us.

Thanks again for everyones’ suggestions. It’s great to see how popular discontinued and modded SAKs are on this forum!

 :iagree: I frequent such a place quite often, and a blade is a big NO. Which is my I removed the blade from my wingman, so I don‘t feel naked without any tool on me.
Maybe we can start a new thread discussing bladeless SAK options  :cheers:

I would also like a Handyman where the opener layer is replaced with mag glass and inline phillips. Would need some kind of light prybar then though  :think:

Vagabond, the reasonable Minichamp!
An alox Vagabond and alox Rumbler would be nice.
Deluxe Climber. Oh, and using the serrated main blade of the weekender on other models.

Options are growing! I need to do some research on some of the names.  :facepalm: I can then build a list and put some order of preference.

On the bladeless option, there are lots of short threads in the mod section. So I think, Sir Vic, I’ll take your suggestion and start a new thread. Not trying to create a TSA safe SAK, but one that gives good EDC functionality in blade-free zones.  :salute:
