March 2025 Hiker challenge!
on: August 12, 2024, 03:41:04 AM
The Hiker is an often overlooked SAK. It's time to give it its place in the sun (well, what little sun we in the Northern Hemisphere may see in March). In addition to having a Hiker as your primary carry for the month of March, the usual challenge rules apply. Who else is ready to help the Hiker step into the limelight?

I'll hop in. The Hiker was my first full size SAK when I joined the Scouts. It's still kicking around, not too much worse for wear after years of abuse.

Boy, March 2025 feels kind of far away at the moment. I may need a few practice runs with the Hiker before the time comes...

Hey folks,

I know that March, 2025 feels far away right now. You haven't even passed out candy to children wearing their super hero pajamas in public yet! Then there's American Thanksgiving (we encourage others to participate, so here's a hint - eat until it hurts...), then we have Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Winter Solstice season.... and don't forget New Year's Eve! We have to celebrate the fact that the Earth managed to dodge all the big asteroids again!

But March, 2025 will be here before you know it! And long term planning is important - you know, things like saving for retirement, life insurance, and participating in the March 2025 Hiker Challenge.

That's right folks, we NEED YOU to help us celebrate the hidden gem of the 91mm SAK world!

Do you even own a Hiker yet? Well, I can assure you that there is at least one nationally recognized gift giving occasion in your location between now and March, 2025. Drop hints to your spouse or significant other. Put it on your Christmas list. Write a letter to Santa Claus. Or give yourself the gift of a great SAK by visiting your friendly neighborhood online retailer, local brick-and-mortar mom and pop, or totally-scam-free auction website.

So... yes, this is a thinly veiled bump of a thread for a challenge that is four months away but what are you doing??? March will be here before you know it! Don't wait - act now! Secure your Hiker and sign up for this amazing challenge!

If anyone wants or needs a Hiker, Amazon has them for $29 (US). Seems like a good price.

Thank you Dan!  I only have one, an LL Bean Special.  It's about as perfect a camping and hiking knife as you can find tool wise

I'll participate in this one. I'm actually unsure if I even OWN a hiker currently, I had one roaming around, but I may have given it away.  :think:

I'm usually on team corkscrew, so philips backtools only show up magically from ebay on occasion.  :rofl: (Although a wenger highlander was my one and only knife for years). But I'll see if I can't pick one up before march rolls around.

I’m currently doing the January Buck challenge.  I posted a picture today of my Buck 110 opening an incoming item in order to get ready for the March challenge.  Here is the photo over here, plus a couple of extras.
