Help me decide

Gareth · **on:** January 05, 2009, 03:56:21 PM

Having just got some doner SAKs in (thanks again Neil) I want to either make myself a Scientist or a Yeoman.

The Yeoman is a better stand alone SAK but the Scientist is a great minimal SAK and I can always put a classic in my pocket if I really think I'm going to need Scissors. Your thoughts please.

PS I not promising to make the one with the biggest vote but it sure will help me make up my mind.

I vote for the scientist, great 2-layer sak if there ever was one.

like the tool selection of the yeoman

Neil · **Reply #3 on:** January 05, 2009, 05:36:52 PM

Scientist, though I always feel its not quite right building existing models (that is just me though).

How about doing a Scientist but with something different in place of the combo tool?

I'll go with a Yeoman, as like you say it's a better stand alone tool

If you are really torn, make a Yeoman and carry it around for a while. If you find yourself regretting the decision later, then you can just do a quick layer removal and have a Scientist.

Not a bad idea that

I'll throw another kink in your plans. Add a saw to the Scientist and make a Spudman.But since you asked to pick between a Scientist and Yeoman..I'll go Scientist

Neil · **Reply #8 on:** January 05, 2009, 07:46:13 PM

Good idea. Or what about a file, more suited for urban use and adds next to nothing to the thickness.

Naarrgh!

This was ment to cut down my options not add more.

YEO!

If you want to make it distinguishable from a "real" Yeoman (or Scientist)
use a new-style magnifier, since all the real ones have old mags.

I would say build the Scientist! I have one, and if it wasn't for you guys; I wouldn't have know that it's a rare SAK! Nevertheless, it is still an excellent model, and I am looking to buy another to use..

Or what about pliers instead of scissors. A micro mechanic?

I feel the same. Modding as I see it is where you make something your own. Re-creating a model just doesn't seem right.

How about a Scientist with a phillips?

What, you don't like that idea? You can be sooooooooooooo picky sometimes Neil!

Sorry, didn't think that through, was just trying to think of the easiest way to make the Scientist his own without adding any layers.

tanker · **Reply #16 on:** January 06, 2009, 12:17:43 AM

just when you think scissors are not that necesary...bam! you may be missing them, I vote for Yeoman.

glorn · **Reply #17 on:** January 06, 2009, 01:09:55 AM

I vote for the Scientist plus one additional item to make it unique.

I suggest a fish scaler. Then you will have an Ichthyologist.

Gareth · **Reply #18 on:** January 06, 2009, 01:15:32 AM

OK I think you have convinced me to try and do something more than the Scientist. I quite like the idea of adding a saw and making a Spudman, I think I might use a back tool to add a little extra.

I'm not promising that it won't be pulled apart again to bring it down to two layers though.
