Why is there no three layer SAK with just the file?
Or for that matter, why is there no 4 layer SAK with a file and saw?

There is an old Grand Prix model without the scissors is just what you are talking about here.

I bid on one at eBay a few weeks ago but Smartknives really wanted it and so it went fairly high.
Here is the eBay auction for it.

OK, I'm cheating ;)

Neil, that's a great configuration. You might want to try one with the combo tool instead of the small blade.
Gafftapegreenia, with the Metal Saw/File not being as popular as the Woodsaw you've unfortunately found one of the holes in the SAK lineup.
-
Great combo, Neil! Only possible addition here IMHO could be replacing the small blade with the chisel from a Spirit multitool.
I am not sure that Spirit parts can be fitted into SAKs at all, that is a question to the modder gods, or where does one find that chisel without buying a Spirit :multi: for the sake of it, but wouldn't that be cool?
-
That configuration was made specifically to be kept in the glove compartment ready to deal with the large sticks my boys had a habit of wanting to bring home /play with ::)
Chop to size, prune off small side branches and thorns and then smooth the ends.

As a straight swap in, no it wouldn't work. But with a will and enough time filing and grinding anything is possible :D

OK, I was cheating as well. :D
There was also the Trail Guide, one of the Marlboro SAKs.

As Neil said, anythings possible but it's not a challenge I'd be up for. Both Neil's and my mod have the small chisel on the back though. Not quite the same I admit, but it's better than nothing. :)

that is too bad. the swiss file is the only file that makes a decent metal saw.
