Swiss Army Knights Forum / Re: Explorer Challenge May 2024

« Last post by Grand_Banana on Today at 04:30:00 AM »

I thinked Spirit since i mainly carry it on edc bag during challenge and use it only when needed (hopefully not needed many times)

Only Tools Matters

That is a good choice.  I have paired the Explorer and Spirit many times before.

So happy to join my first challenge and its an easy start using my favourite SAK

Used at work tightening jubilee clips on an engine, and slicing some strawberrys for my little girl with my non work explorer!

Great to have you Brad! Is that a whittling blade?

There's nothing to stop you from owning a yellow 91mm SAK. My  Explorer was red when I bought it. I simply bought some yellow Plus scales on the Bay of Es.

The only thing stopping me is spending the money on new scales. I feel I need to earn them when the current ones wear out or are damaged.

I wanted a yellow 91mm for the longest time, but I don't think that'll ever happen. A yellow Bantam, on the other hand, would be more doable.

As I don't (and likely won't) own an Explorer, I cannot participate. But I'll observe from the sidelines!

 A yellow bantam would look nice

Swiss Army Knights Forum / Re: Don't degrease SAK with acetone,,

« Last post by Enginears on Today at 03:27:29 AM »

I  wish Vic would just go to nylon. They were nice on the old eco knives, and they use them on the 111s. They could simplify their operation and upgrade the material. I assume it's cheaper (why would they use them for eco otherwise) too.

Kind of agree. The 100mm have nylon too and the grip is also way better. I have never been one to keep my celidor buffed and shiny but I know some folks like that. The rougher look of nylon is totally copasetic with me.
