Some awesome guys have compiled a list of the knives used in the series (http://www.macgyveronline.com/database/saks).  :hatsoff:
I will do my best to take decent pictures of implements/layers etc so we can identify these beauties. The list should make identifying them a lot easier.

If you are a member of macgyveronline please let them know that I will be going through the series for pictures.
If a picture does not match the sak name, let me know.

1x06 - Trumbo's World

This is one of my favorite episodes. I was a kid when I first saw it, and I can safely say that this is the reason I am interested in insects, arachnids, and animals in general.

1x07 - Last Stand

MacGyveronline says Executive/Tinker for this.
The first sak that we see on the table is impossible to identify.
The sak used is an Executive (split ring positioning, blade size, two layers).
Are the two saks the very same? Could be.

1x09 - The Prodigal

Wenger Viking/Commander
MacGyverOnline says this is a Tinker small. However, this has a corkscrew, and in the first picture, the bottle opener's hook is very close to the knife's body, too close to be a Victorinox.

What a strong season, the first one. Lots of great episodes in there, it is no wonder it remains the favorite of most fans. And considering its age, it's still holding up quite well, for the most part. There are of course signs of days long gone, but still a very solid season, that established what MacGyver means to people.

2x01 - The Human Factor

Climber/Camper
Note that the hook did not exist when this episode was made, so the scissors back-spring of a Climber without the hook is different than that of today's Climber with hook.
I think this model is a Climber. The middle tool looks more like scissors than the saw, and the back-spring does not look that thin to be that of a saw.

Yes, I do. I mention it in the beginning of this thread.
Show content
Some awesome guys have compiled a list of the knives used in the series (http://www.macgyveronline.com/database/saks).  :hatsoff:
I will do my best to take decent pictures of implements/layers etc so we can identify these beauties. The list should make identifying them a lot easier.

If you are a member of macgyveronline please let them know that I will be going through the series for pictures.
If a picture does not match the sak name, let me know.


That's the list I am going by for the names, unless the pictures I take do not match what the list says. I have found some mistakes or missing saks in the list.

I put off making this thread in the past, because that list existed, but checking their forum, they have pictures of very few episodes. I thought I might as well go through the series, take pictures, and post them here, confirming, correcting, and complimenting the list with pictures of every episode, in order, as I go along. Agreed, it might be wasted effort, since the list exists, and the lack of interest in this thread.

I have narrowed down my edc to the Deluxe Tinker. Those pliers are excellent. I'd be in Heaven with an in-line awl, but otherwise I'm set.

OG Mac gave saks away. So he did not supposedly have just one sak.  :D

And that's Season 3. Many fans say they like the first two the best, but Season 3 is just as good.
Nikki Carpenter, played by Elyssa Davalos, made her debut in this season, and was in a few episodes. Great acting, and an interesting character, a nice addition to the cast.
We also saw Murdoc, arguably the most loved villain. "MACGYVAAAAAAAAAAAH!"  :D
Many episodes were just great. Back from the dead, Ghost Ship, Fire & Ice, The Widowmaker, Blow Out, The Negotiator. Great stories, action, supporting cast.
And of course, knives! :climber: The Recruit Economy was the star of this season, but a few others managed to sneak in for a blurry moment of fame.
Undoubtedly a strong season. Two thumbs up. :2tu:

And that's another season covered.
A rather weak start, and several experimental episodes, ranging from children's tv to serial killers. The social commentary could have been handled more elegantly. Even the episodes that do not attempt it are quite uneventful.
We got some good episodes, Deadly Dreams, Cleo Rocks, The Invisible Killer. Quite a few mediocre ones too. Not my favorite season.
At least we got some nice saks, including 111mm models.

Amazing work man  :like:

There are some small mistakes still on some episodes sak id, for example, on The Eraser he uses a Tourist/Sportsman to fix the ginger ale dispenser, you can clearly see the longer middle liner when the sak is sitting on the counter, only present on 84mm saks. He also uses the small tinker to rig up the car phone.
On Kill Zone, i don't think it's the Supertinker, i think it's the 84mm Salesman from the looks of it. Don't forget tht in the 80's there where a lot more 84mm models available

I am assuming he is using it as a bypass knife. If the keyhole is wide and shallow, it might work. A Wenger awl would have been better.

Fantastic work as always mate  :tu:

However i think you shoud review the info on 2x02 - The Eraser.

You say Standard only, but he used 3 more sak's besides the Standard in that Ep...

In the bar scene, fixing the ginger ale dispenser he has a 84mm with a corkscrew, so Tourist or Sportsman, you can tell by the extended middle liner and the next shot with the sak  on the table, corkscrew up...

On the office building break in he has a Camper, you can clearly make out on the pic it's 3 layers, and you can also make out the saw in the middle layer.

In the car phone scene it's a small tinker, on the shot previous to that one we get a quick glimpse of the back of the sak when he is taking it off his pocket and there is a phillips on that one, and on the other shots you can make out the extended mid liner, so 84mm.

The Standard in only in the last pics, using the corkscrew...  ;)

Post by: MacGyver on September 11, 2021, 12:38:25 AM
Also on 3x12 - Early Retirement, it's listed: Tinker/Tinker Small on the second batch of pics, however that's a 3 layer SAK, as can be confirmed in the last pic (bottle opener too far from the top of the scale to be 2 layers). So it can either be a Super Tinker, Hiker, or 84mm Salesman.

My guess it's an 84mm Salesman...  ;)

Thanks, didn't remembered that. But it's rather impossible to identify from that distance, in any of the few shots. It's looks like 3 layers at least, but that's about it...

But i guess that's the only shot the SAK appears... he didn't actually used it on the movie...  :dunno:

Click on Reply rather than using the quick box immediately below.
Then, under the text box where you type, there's a bit that says " + Attachments and other options" - Click on that.
Find the button that says Browse and, in the subsequent pop-up, navigate to where your photo is stored on your PC. Press Ok to prepare it.
Finally, click on Insert Attachment and that should be sorted.

I’ve tried everything and I can’t seem to attach the image to the message.  Below is a link to the photo.  You can see the Rescue Tool on his belt.

Exactly not clear, it looks like 2 layer knife.
And Zito is very attractive character.

It certainly looks like a two layer knife, and I think I'm getting a flash of corkscrew, but that still isn't enough for positive identification. Also, I'm watching this on a standard definition DVD of a TV series from the 1980s, and no matter how often I shout "enhance" at my computer, the video's not getting any clearer.

It'd also be interesting to see which specific tools get the most use across both original and new series.
If I get time, I might go rewatch everything and compile a list.

Is this a real sak?
It looks like a Huntsman.

What kind of knife did MacGyver use in "THE STRINGER"?

The knife is similar to Vintage Swiss Army Style Multi Tool Folding Pocket Survival Knife.

I want to know more details. ???

Cheap crappy Chinese SAK knockoff.
I have a couple of those i bought in the early 80's with my allowance, before i got my first proper genuine SAK

Here is one:

Thanks a lot for your information. :)
I didn't know they were sold in 80's.
Long history. :D

Yup... very long...
I was probably 10 or 11 when i got that one in a local drug/hardware store. Still remember one of those bit petrol pumps the man had in the counter, when petrol was sold by the gallon for petrol lamps  :D
He had a handful of those SAK knockouts at the store window.
The knife was/is really a piece of crap, in every tool. The blade and scissors grind is a joke.... but it was kind of "cool" for a 10 year old  :rofl:

It's called the Diamond Superior or "Star-in-Q", if you want one.

    An old fellow came by a place I happened to be in one Sunday morning.  I sort of knew who he was.  George somebody.  Sometimes he had a fixed address.  Sometimes maybe not.  He gave me a big smile and showed me a small bag full of knives.  Chinese one blade candy striped handle folders.  One SAK fake.  Said he wanted to sell them for a dollar each to go get some coffee. 
    I said I didn't need a knife, but I would buy him breakfast.  He said no I didn't have to do that.  Then he said for me to take one since he had known me for so long.  I took the  Star in Q number to keep from insulting him. 
    I looked up Star in Q on Ebay and some people are asking big prices for them.  Don't fall for that.  These things are cheap as they come.  Believe me, you won't want one.  I don't know what I did with the one I got from Old George.  Threw it in on some trade, I think.  Approximate value on these things.... about a dollar.  Not a bargain at that price.  Best wishes.  Gary

I want to know the reason why MacGyver used such a fake SAK used in "The Stringer". :iagree:
I want MacGyver to use a Victorinox Ranger model instead of Chinese knife.
