Swiss Army Knights Forum / Re: Do you carry a supplemental Sak along with another knife?

« Last post by Enginears on Today at 03:26:31 PM »

Yes, I am used to carry at least two knives, a modern one-hand-open folder and a SAK.
- The modern knife is usually a Spyderco or CRK with a 3-4 inch blade.
- The SAK is usually an alox Pioneer 9/10 times, but I also like the Spartan, Sportsman and Cadet.
- I have one of those bladeless SwissCards in my wallet for the small tools. A rambler in the coin pocket is a good alternative.

How often are you not carrying the Rambler/swiss card? I notice your other saks all are scissorless.

With me every day:

That is an amazing combo. For a while I was carrying a Pioneer and Ambassador and thought they were a great compliment but the Executives seem better without much more bulk. I like what you have done to your small blade, looks useful for many things.

Yes it's usually my climber, Spartan or mini champ depending on what I'm up to that day

Thank you, fellas 

I would like to give credit to Mrs. Pittman, my first grade teacher, who introduced me to the alphabet and spelling. Without her influence, I would have never solved this Wordle in two tries

Edged Tools / Re: What Is Your Latest Knife?

British Army "Clasp" knife by Joseph Rodgers & Sons.  Two blade version (no great big spike on the back), late war style can opener with the added bottle opener tool.  Just post-war production and everything is as it should be bar a little loss at the tip of the blade.

Edged Tools / Re: History of I*XL knives

Here's my modest wee group.  The pruner I've owned since I was an apprentice and I was given it by one of my supervisors as a lagging cutting knife.

Richards is a name you'll come across most often.  Lets call them...made to a budget.    If you like one then absolutely buy it, but don't pay a lot. 

Everything else I would look at on a case by case basis.  Condition matters a lot.  The finest Thomas Turner that is basically broken isn't worth much of anything, but if it's just a bit grubby or scuffed then it might be a hidden gem.
