Wee Fuzzy SAKs Day 28

Probably the most underrated and underappreciated knife I own... and yet one of the best and most widely travelled. Was the first SAK I ever purchased (myself) some twenty odd years ago after starting a new job.

It's convenient and gets the job done, but it's not as pretty as any of your GECs  :dunno:  :like:

Here's a couple more of my SwissBuck knives.  The first is a SwissBuck Taskmate I that I modded and added scissors, to make it a TaskMate II. This was the first SAK I acquired after joining this forum, and for a time it replaced my broken Wenger Handyman. It felt like having an old friend back. And it was my first modding experiment as well, since my goal here was to learn how to MOD saks so I could eventually fix my childhood knife.

The other is a SwissBuck Trekker, which I bought for a song, with the intention of popping off the scales and using them on my TaskMate II mod, as those scales aren't quite perfect. However, this little knife is in such good shape I've held off on doing that. It's not a pattern I'd ever use, and I should probably clean and oil it and move it on, but good condition Wenger scales are hard to find, so I'm probably going to hold on to it a bit longer.

These won't get a chance to be in the challenge so I figured I'd post them here now :)

Charles.

They awl look great!

Day 24: Goldblatt G05411 Drywall Multitool

(Image removed from quote.)

Today is a Cheap and Cheerful tool. This sucker goes for $15 on Amazon right now, and it's a gem. The case sorta sucks, as it's not even large enough to snap closed without stretching and swearing. But it fits an MP600 pretty well so I repurposed it immediately.  I'm posting this tool today, because I'm going to be working on drywall repairs in my house. I have pretty much hated my existing drywall saw, as i found it awkward and the piercing part would often bend the blade instead of going through drywall. And so I'll be putting this guy through its paces today, as I cut out some drywall for a new HVAC return.

At first glance, the saw is very beefy, and will not bend easily. That said, it doesn't have the proper taper (thinner at the top wider at the teeth) that wood saws have. The teeth are also reversed, so it cuts on the forward stroke. So, it's not a re-purposed wood saw, it's actually a drywall saw.

The phillips screwdriver is actually really well formed, and fits into both the big screws in my door hinges and the smaller screws in my outlets quite easily. It's got amazing reach and it's a stand-out good tool.

Finally, the blade. The blade holder is pretty sweet. It's one-hand opening, and it takes standard razor blades. To eject the razor blade, there's no need to take anything apart. With the blade opened and locked, press down on the OHO stud really hard, and the spring-loaded blade holder is released. Very slick, easy to use setup.

(Image removed from quote.)

All of these tools lock, using the Gerber style lock bars. I don't know if Gerber's patent expired or something, but I've seen more and more tools with the Gerber style locks. And I like that. It's an intuitive locking system for me, it's effective, and I've never had a tool unlock even when used to the point of abuse. Something I simply can't say for other multitool locking mechanisms.  This locking system is quite a bit bigger than the Gerber, but it's just as effective. No wobble, no play when the tools are locked. Unlock tabs are easily used and everything works smoothly.

Here's a size comparison:

(Image removed from quote.)

Just from handling the tool, I like it a lot. But using it around my house just now, the first glaring omission hit me. It needs a small flat driver to remove light switch face plates. There's plenty of room in the tool to add another thin tool, as there are four thick ound washers in addition to the tabbed anti-rotation washers. Take those four extra washers out and there'd be space for another tool. If I were in charge of design, I'd also make the scales out of G1, cut holes in the stainless liners to reduce the weight, and add a big beefy pocket clip.

Charles.

Never saw one with such a complete tool set. Nice!

I'm a fan of Tim Galyean's Junkyard Dog and I managed to get this Kerahaw  rendition some years ago.
Limited edition, laminated ateel blade and titanium framelock.
I had the g10 version but gave it to my son since he likes this design as well.
I'd like to get another,and the composite blade too.

Hey someone in this thread mentioned a paint that somewhat replicates black oxide tools. I’ve got a silver saw in a BO MP400 and I’d like to fix that.

3 random grabs

Top
Aqualung US Divers branded dive knife, marked stanless Japan & pat no.

Middle
AK bayonet, with non typical scabard
not shure country of origin
The old leather frog fell apart so I replaced it with an elastic keeper and mini carabiner

Bottom
Mauser Bayonet, one of the earliest fixed blades added in my collection. I purchased this "Nazi dress bayonet" from a small antique shop in the middle of nowhere a little over 35 years ago. I have never bothered to do the research necessary to authenticate it.
The blade is unsharpen highly polished and the only markings are a knight's helm with the letters WKC. By the wear on the scabbard as well as deep scratches at the pommel somebody probably did wear this and drill mounting it to a rifle.
I used to be a lot of things, and someday will again.
But for now I'm just a lost jack of trades with neither mastery nor home. ~NoaIsumi
