Anyone care to identify the nice red SAK in this 2010 movie?  I just started watching.  Best wishes.  G

After brightening up the picture and making a few adjustments, my guess is that it's a SwissChamp.

May the best of your past, be the worst of your future.

    I watched part of this movie.  The young man is throwing together his kit to do a wilderness thing.  He reaches up on a high shelf for his SAK and feels around for it but doesn't take it with him.  I think this thing was based on a book.  Might have been a true story.  I read about either the book or actual events in Outdoor? 
     SwissChamp sounds like a good guess to me.  What do I know?  At any rate, the SAK got left at home.  Sounds like a bad beginning to me.  Best wishes.  G

SwissChamp sounds about right. It's definitely a thicker one, and I can spot pliers in the brightened and enhanced photo.

I bet he doesn't leave home without the SAK ever again.

It was a true story, and an excellent example of why you shouldn't:

1- Go into the wilderness alone.
2- Not tell people where you are going and when you will be back.
3- Do stupid things and taunt Mother Nature.
4- Carry knockoffs.

As the story goes, he used a knockoff Leatherman to chop off his arm.  Honestly, I would very much appreciate never being in this situation in my life, but if I ever was, I think I would rather have a proper SAK as I think the thinner, sharper blade would do a better job than the thick blade of a Leatherman, and the (probably) cheap steel of a knockoff that likely can't hold that good of an edge.   :facepalm:
