I think you have scoped out the major features of the 108mm quite well. I really like the checkered grip. You might be surprised how much better the saw cuts than a regular SAK with a saw. I would cut on the pull, then push the saw back which would clear lots of the chips from the teeth and pull again. I have sawed some pretty good-sized things. The awl will cut a perfect hole in heavy plastic. Clean as a drill. Punch it through and turn. I fixed some lawn mower fittings with mine. It is also great for punching holes in light metal. Open the awl. Pound on the top of the GAK with your fist to drive it through.
People get tired of reading about my everyday carry. I am going to have to stop. Best wishes. G

Thank you Gary and Mr. Farmer X, but unfortunately I can't find the saw cover on either of those sites (or on the very large electronic Bay marketplace). Also, some observations on the 108mm. The multitool thing scrapes against the liner when opening, the blade clunks a bit when opening and closing, the awl/reamer is actually capable of cutting because of the angle of the grind (it's effectively a flat-ground blade), it's heavy, it's large, the multitool isn't polished, the grip is somewhat uncomfortable when using either tool due to the non-used tool jutting out a bit much from the scale, and the saw only cuts in one direction. All that being said, I love this thing. It's got the best grip of any SAK I've ever owned, the blade is enormous and perfect, the screwdriver is at the end of a long tool and consequently works like a standard screwdriver (but as Gary said it is prone to closing on one's hand), and it's just fun to use! I want to attach a 1/8" shackle to the lanyard hole and attach that to a chain or paracord lanyard. Oh, and as an aside, I got -10% on my first math test of grade 10. I argued with the teacher before the test started so she gave me -10% and then I got every question wrong...
