I noticed there are two SAK Stack merit badges.  One for 30 days and one for 60 days. 

Who may consider going for 2 months?
Is this challenge only for the 30 day badge?

More great stuff for today, y'awl! :tu:

Is this challenge only for the 30 day badge?
I guess each participant can choose whatever badge and duration they like. :think:

Day 29

Another pic of my CT L. I think this has replaced my SC as my favorite model outside of the XLT. The bit driver is so useful and a game changer and I need it more than a magnifying glass and fish scaler...although I do like this as a ruler and marking tool - hence why I really like the XLT.

Day 28: SC Pliers
Today, I used the pliers to hold the sewing needle steady while pushing it through a thick layer of fabric. I could tell it was much easier compared to trying with bare hands.

Day 28 and 29:

I woke up yesterday, noticing that I’d somehow torn the cheap split ring out of my AirPod case. So I attached a new split ring, with the aid of the SwissChamp pliers.

I like the inline Phillips. If awl goes well, I'll get myself an Explorer soon.

Is anyone going to do 60 days to get a SAK Stack 60?  We are 1/2 way.

Could someone remind me how to request the badge ?  :facepalm:

Day 30

Used the WCXL to cut a zip tie off my suitcase.

Also snapped a Pic of three of th large knives I used during this challenge...SC, XLT and Workchamp XL. The Cybertool L is still in my luggage.

My favorite is the XLT since it has most everything I need.  If it had a serrated blade,  it would be perfect. I used the CT L second most and it has replaced the SC as my go to in this range.  Honestly I enjoy using them all and it is hard to choose between them all.

This has been a great challenge. If I were not traveling so much in September I would extend it,  but I am tired of checking my bag to carry a knife on every trip and will revert to carryon luggage for some upcoming trips.

Enjoyed reading everyone's posts as this challenge progressed.
