I am opening this up to the 58mm, 65mm, and 74mm sizes. :tu:
Your task would be to post a photo each day of the challenge of the small SAK that you carried that day. You can switch it up and carry a different small each day, Classic, Vagabond, MiniChamp, Pocket Tool Chest, Executive, etc.
You can also have a companion knife on you as well. For instance, I may carry a Camper and a 58mm during the challenge.
I don't believe there is a badge for this, but I hope to get some interest.
Anyone care to join?

The side door to the restaurant has a handle with a locking bar that takes a hex key to lock and unlock it....the cuticle pusher on the MiniChamp fits perfectly in it to lock and unlock it.

No cut and picker blade here. Using the awl to pick cotton out of a pill bottle.
Great use of the awl gene! :cheers:
Nice pic! :like: :tu: :tu:
Thanks VICMAN! That 65mm awl is tied with the 65mm scissors for my most used SAK tools.
It's one of the reasons I Luv the 65mm line.
Nice pic gene! :like: :tu: :tu:
The 65 mm SAKS are a handy size! :cheers:

More cable-ties cutting, a bit of doodling while on the phone, a bit of fingernail maintenance and a beer opening celebrating a good week's worth of work... before remembering that this bottle has a twisty cap :D

Busy day for me and the Rambler. I went on a 20 mile hike with my youngest to fulfill a Boy Scout requirement. We hit the halfway point at an old railroad tunnel, at least a 1/4 mile long. Afterwards, we had dinner at my father in law's, where the Rambler's caplifter helped me enjoy a cold brew😀

I received a used MiniChamp yesterday in the 5 knife haul that has a slightly bent tip on one of the blades. You can see it at the top in the middle. Not disclosed in the eBay ad, but seller stated his knives haven't been inspected, so I figure I'm going to turn it into a user knife.
I don't want to put nice scales on it, yet I need a way to distinguish it from the others. I had these scales left over from switching out others, so I present to you LW, or Little Wonky, because that's what this knife is. I'll carry it today.

This is a great thread! Thanks FB for starting it!
Being the only 65mm in the challenge I'm going to have to step up my game.
This morning I taught a neighbor kid how to make a alcohol stove out of aluminum cans.
The Wenger scissors and awl worked great for this task.

One of you will win one of the knives shown in the photo...you will be able to pick the one you want. In order to be eligible, you must post a photo of your SAK with a bottle or can of root beer.
You have until the end of day 6 to complete the mini-challenge. This can also double as your entry for the day. If all entries have been submitted before then, I will go to random.org to pull a number. Those numbers will be a range of when this is announced and then a few numbers after the last entry.
Good luck! :cheers:
The knives below are:
Silvertech Spartan (new in box), Black Climber (as new), Black Spartan (as new), Dark Green Signature (gently used), Red Executive (as new).

As a matter of fact I know exactly where I can get a can of A&W root beer in Geneva. It's just a matter of getting there and hoping they have it I can stock :D
Also... You said root beer... Ginger is a root... Maybe I'll just get ginger beer instead :D

The small blade of my Executive opened and broke down a bunch of boxes today.
This SAK has special meaning to me.
When I was a Victorinox dealer my dad had his choice of any Victorinox knife he wanted and he chose this black Executive. It was his favorite EDC knife.

I doubt it. I suspect the team in the marketing department slapped themselves on the back for that one !
But rules are there, like the space time continuum, to be bent out of shape. So here's a Bonus Day 5 Classic Beverage pic... it's not Root Beer, it's not ginger beer, but it's got ginger root in it and it's an alarming green colour that is warning enough to its alcohol content !

I do like those Clockwork scales (it's the Swiss and watches thing) but I'm only grateful I didn't spill any ginger wine on them. I can imagine a lot of fizzing and smoke if that were to happen. It's the sort of liquid that should be marked "No naked lights" etc

Today's carry will be a SilverTech Midnite Vagabond. It has a broken scissor spring, but the seller included a new spring. :tu:

Day 6.
Used one PTC to fix the scissors screw on the other PTC. I don't use the jewelers SD very often but it's proven its usefulness the few times I do use it.

:like: I love the PTCs Gene! I only have the Evo 81 ( Esquire) at the moment. A PTC is definitely in the future!
Thanks Berry!
In my opinion the PTC has 4 big advantages over any of the 58mm and 75mm.
1. Wenger put the large SD on the thicker combo tool making it a better SD and pry bar then the 58mm nail file SD.
2. I prefer SAK's with the backside Phillips opposed to the CS. so I have no place to put the micro SD. The PTC solves this problem.
3. The PTC works on more screws then the 58mm combo of SDs because both the SDs are 2D instead of 3D Phillips.
4. It has an inline awl. Who wouldn't use an awl?

1- none, you're a person-person :twak:
2- Furthest through the globe, or across its surface? In both cases I guess it's Thailand?
3- Both. You own more than a 100 but if I ask you to give them to me now I bet you can only have 1 or 2 on your person to provide :D
4- Gregory ???
5- not white ;)
6- you don't collect them because you are still in the negation/denial phase of the addiction :ahhh
7- Italian ride FTW :multi:
8- :MTO:
9- None, since you aren't a dog-person :facepalm:

Little Wonky got the call again today. There's something about a used knife that comforts me. I can toss it in my pocket with change, keys and no worries.

I was overthinking it... I wanted to say "dog", "Thailand", "red" and "scooter ride in italy" but...
- I figured too many people said dog already
- I figured Thailand was a trap...
- I figured too many people said red already
- I figured a scooter ride in Italy sounds much better than it actually is... For example if you ride a scooter with a helmet in certain parts of Naples you can actually get shot. Gotta ride without a helmet and it's really hectic as most drivers are nuts (by my standards). Far from a joy ride ^^
But no... I listened to my brain rather than my guts so I ended up with 6/10 ^^;;
Congratulations to the winners!!!

:cheers: Thanks Lisa, it actually had that slogan on the scales! This was part of a series SMKW offered last year, along with a Tinker with a series of similar scales. I bought one of each Classic and have them to my family. I kept this one. Bill, your Classic is what inspired me to break this one out of the box for this Challenge. Here's a couple pics. Not the best, but I snapped them with my tablet. On a different note, the Executive made it to the Summit of Mount Washington!
That looks excellent Barry and nice to see it. The LE Classics can be quite quirky but that's what's great about them.
Now, Mount Washington, I think I read about in Bill Bryson's book about the Appalachian Trail. You'd need something pretty rugged up there. Yep, an Executive would do just fine :tu:

:cheers: Thanks Lisa, it actually had that slogan on the scales! This was part of a series SMKW offered last year, along with a Tinker with a series of similar scales. I bought one of each Classic and have them to my family. I kept this one. Bill, your Classic is what inspired me to break this one out of the box for this Challenge. Here's a couple pics. Not the best, but I snapped them with my tablet. On a different note, the Executive made it to the Summit of Mount Washington!
Cool Classic Barry! :cheers:
Sound like the Executive is moving up in the world! :rofl:

That's the one Bill. I have that book and can't stop laughing! I was supposed to be on that climb too, but couldn't make it. I'd love to do it with a Mountaineer :D
Good choice. I do like the Mountaineer ... though I never quite got the titanium Uhli Stahl (?) series.
I have a few of Brysons books including one on the English language. All funny and interesting to boot.

Day 9
Little Wonky has become my go-to 58mm so far, mostly due to me not worrying about messing it up. It's seen here next to a titanium pill bottle that was gifted to me by the maker.
It was pristine for the longest time, then one day I decided I'm going to use it, I'm glad I did, I have enjoyed it.

Day 9.
I know what you mean FB sometimes the worn beater ends up being your favorite go to SAK.
This guy for example. I paid less then $8 delivered. The jewelers SD is bowed and the awl tip is bent. When I got it it was not in what I would call working shape. The scissors screw was to loose to use, the awl tip was blunt and the jewelers SD was to messed up to work on small screws like eye glass screws. A few minutes on the diamond stone and tighten up the scissors and everything works the same as the day it came off the factory floor.
If I screw it up I'm only out the price of a six pack of beer. This is why it's become one of favorite SAK's.

Based on an original idea by Barry my Rambler is today posing as a hood ornament. Now, this leads me to three questions:
a] didn't they have something similar on Jeeps in WWII ? :think:
and
b] 58mm might not be the right size on a Subaru? :rofl:
and
c] is it time for a "SAK's as hood / bonnet* ornament" thread? :facepalm:

I would use a 130mm just to be on the safe side with a car like that... But you should stab it through the hood so you can actually drive around with it.

Firstly Syem - good to see you've your Little Black Number to hand :whistle: I was thinking 130mm might be a bit much. It's not a tank I'm driving after all. But a 111mm Forester ? I could attach it with the corkscrew so it has a nice easy release if I put a rubber grommet in the screw hole. I'm liking that idea and that's my favourite 111mm too. There's a marketing opportunity here I sense ...
Now Barry good spot that odd yellow thing is indeed what we over here call summer. You'll probably have something similar where you are, maybe with as much liquid sunshine as we get too ? Let me know when you've launched that thread ... I did start a SAK's and Hats thread but you've outthought me here :cheers:
You're not wrong Vicman either. Nicely functional if you mount the Rambler with Blue Tack so you can lift it off with ease. And none of those regular "Where's my SAK gone?" worries with this arrangement. It's almost a SAK "Head Up Display" :rofl:

Your sharpie work has paid off FoBo - I'd have said that's a nicely worn factory colour ! And posting this pic that reminds me my MiniChamp should by now be in transit. :popcorn: Patience isn't my strong suit and I'm really looking forward to its arrival... I probably wouldn't go for an Alox one as I'm a die hard T&T fan.
That said pairing a it with a Compact could be a winning combination :cheers:

I always have a MiniChamp with me. :D
Remember that when using a blade or scissors you can open an opposing tool such as the cuticle pusher, nailfile, or ruler/screwdriver to extend the handle,
The letter opener blade(curved blade) is great for cutting cardboard.
The cuticle pusher can be used as a screwdriver or small pry tool.
The orange peeler works great for opening clamshell packs by hooking the point on the underside into the plastic and pulling the hook.

This one isn't really my cup of tea, skull and all, but I like the trits in it. Wish it was a smilie face instead, but the guy did a combo price, so I bought 'em.

Brought Little Wonky out to open up a package I received today.

I only had one pink, plastic spinner and decided I wanted to try some different types. So these two arrived today from the same seller.

They're excellent Barry - great combination. And you have to respect the sheer bravery that got us into space with less computing power than you get in a mobile phone. Remarkable.

I will say this. Ok I've only had a MiniChamp for a few days but I can see exactly why the PTC is such a great tool. I'm still giving the MiniChamp the benefit of the doubt but the PTC really does punch above its weight. With one exception, I am not a fan of Wenger's T&T arrangements and I do like T&T.
So, for now I'll keep on with the MiniChamp but the PTC will stay on my desk for comparison and reflection. I am thoroughly enjoying the challenge cos it is making me think. Thanks guys! :cheers:

Passed by the Geneva Victorinox store so I was riding around the lake with my electric skateboard with little Sigsetter in my pocket. I'm finding it incredibly useful despite the lack of blade. It did just a bit of boring nail maintenance today...

Usually when I need a knife blade I reach for a 111mm OHO serrated blade if for no other reason the ease of opening. For this challenge I'm trying to just use my 65mm. I'm learning most of my needs can be met with the 65mm blade but the OHO sure makes life easier.

Went to meet friends to sign an official document (long story)...we all needed a pen so Sigsetter got passed around and everyone signed with him.
Nice view here

Used the Trailmaster to prune a tree so I used the awl to clean out the saw.

Still finding uses for Sigsetter I wasn't expecting...
Like opening up a free knife I got from our beloved FolderBeholder as I was 3rd in her giveaway earlier this month...
Thanks a million for the knife Lisa! And that box is not something I was expecting... I've seen other silvertech Spartans around my parts and they always had a much flatter box which opens on both sides whereas this one has a square cross-section and the bottom is glued close. Was this one from Canada with French and English on it?
Anyways here goes:

Syem, not sure where that Silvertech box was from originally, just glad the package found its way to Switzerland.
I had a use for the cuticle pusher tool today as a pry bar. This little spinner was super snug in there. No problem for that tool.

PTC today. I've got a trip coming up to Boy Scout camp in a week and am trying to decide which Mini to take. No issues as far as needing a saw or anything like that.
It would be fun if you took both the MC and PTC and see which one performs better at different taste.

Day 17
Early afternoon skate riding with the dog. We like to walk through a woody area (top left of last pic) near the famous "Junction". The place where the clear water from the Rhône gets muddied by joining with the Arve.
Used Sigsetter's scissors for fingernail cleaning l and maintenance back home...

It really has a lot of features that I like.
If you look at the Victorinox tools, it has the essentials for my liking. I was wondering why the maker put the ruler in there, but I see that it is for the flat screw driver tip since the nail file has the pointy nail cleaner tip on it. :tu: The Spydie blade is a welcome addition, I like having that beefy blade in such a small footprint.
I bought it from a guy who said he had to do some work on it to make it as nice as it is...not sure what he meant, but it does function as one would expect from a 58mm SAK, nice snap and smooth action.

Too late but I'll join anyway:
Haven't used my M4 for nearly 2 years. Why put cash into ammo that just gets used up when I could buy SAKs that will last forever instead :D

I had to try the Minichamp and the peeler blade on this pill bottle. I understand that this was its intended purpose. It worked wonderfully!

The Executive is hanging out with the Climber today.
Day 23
After carrying the customized Spyderco/MiniChamp it became apparent that the LW scales belong on the wonky bladed SAK.
What to do? :ahhh I put different scales on the Spydie. I had two choices; scales with a built in LED and "Chip" on the scales, or LCS initials and a toothpick.
As you can see I went with "LCS".

I'm torn between my PTC and my new hunter green Rambler (once again thank you FB). I started this challenge wanting to use the PTC for the whole 30 days but the green Rambler is begging to be carried. For the next few days I'm going to carry both. I'll only reach for the PTC if the Rambler can't do the task.
Post by: FolderBeholder on July 06, 2018, 06:02:28 PM
Day 23.I think the Rambler has a good feel. That combo tool, ads some thickness to the Classic and I wanted you to have one. Glad to see you're going to pocket it today.

I agree with you FoBo about the Rambler. It's a good size and versatile. I thought the MiniChamp would be too much in the pocket but this hasn't proved to be so. I'm very pleased to be carrying mine and might well stick with it for the rest of the Challenge (unless I am tempted otherwise). However.... I'm going to disagree with you on the awl. I know the awl is very handy thing. But for me the missing tool on something that so obviously is a ready to carry anywhere SAK is the small glasses screwdriver. The PTC wins over the MiniChamp on this count alone and it's the one reason I was impressed with Leatherman Micra. So...
If Vic included a mini screwdriver in their 58mm line.... now that really would be amazing :cheers:
And today I has been hassling the letters with the MiniChamp...

So today was mostly Classic White for a little light de-packagefoolery, in this instance fizzy water, with my Leatherman BO Wave for some big box deconstruction (not shown - I'm still doing some life laundry).
I swapped out Mr White for the MiniChamp this evening and promptly had need of a toothpick. To misquote Snoopy "Curses Red Baron ... you've only got tweezers !!"
So Mr White was retrieved to save the day.

I've given 3 of these away and I'm going to finally keep this one. I like them, plus they're rechargeable.
I used the scissors of one of my donor Classic SAKs to open the package.

This challenge is open to ANYONE!!!!!!!
(https://farm1.staticflickr.com/840/42425783045_fab7f8655e.jpg)
What might you win? One person will win a small item (under $15 value) sent to you if you're in the US. An electronic gift card if you're outside the US.
What must you do to be in the running?
Starting Wednesday, post a photo with a small SAK and one item (like a watch), this will be easier for watch collectors, or just something that you will have at least 3 of.
Day two, Thursday, post a photo with a small SAK and two similar items, as in 2 watches. The watch from day 1 and a new one added to day two.
Day three, Friday, post a photo with a small SAK and three similar items, the watches from days 1 and 2 plus your third one.
I'm a spinner collector of late, so tomorrow I plan to start with a SAK and one of my spinners. Though I'm not in the challenge, I still want to play along. :tu:
At the end of the challenge, I will pick a random number from random.org.
Who can participate??? ANYONE, you don't have to be part of this 30-day challenge!!!! :cheers:

Also, I'm making a giveaway too:
The prize is *something* that I've added a little touch to.
The winner is *someone* who participated in this challenge.
The package already left this morning. It will probably arrive a few days after this challenge ends.
I ask that the winner post about it here but only when he or she receives the package.
I'm not kidding :D

Here goes my first submission in the "longer Swiss blades" category.
Here's an officer dagger 1943 model (with sub-officer "lanyard") from Elsener.
These are blunt pieces meant as "parade gear" (or whatever that's called)
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180711/0f71393f9e99126ae7e1f32c5e5da2de.jpg)
Quite often the price of these is defined by the type of lanyard (the Officer's lanyard making the piece way more expensive) and the condition of the lanyard. Mine being a sub-Officer's lanyard in not-so-great condition, the price was reasonable :D I've seen some officer lanyards (without any dagger) in very good condition go for more than I paid the whole thing xD

Thank you all for taking this journey with me, it was my first hosted challenge, so I was learning as I go.
I have one more spinner to show you. It's called a GlowBro, it's supposed to have 20 trits installed in it, but I have to find a reasonably priced trit supplier.
It's the spinner on the right:

Sounds yummy! Gorgeous mugs, incredible pens and fancy spinners everyone! I really wasn't expecting all of this and FB's kindness when I joined in for this month!:like: :like: :like:
And I can't believe it's already over!
So here's my day 30/mini-challenge day 3
Adding to the previous 2 blades a commemorative sword made in 1991 to celebrate the 700 years of existence of the Swiss Confederacy. I'm assuming poor little Sigsetter was feeling rather small next to the other 3... He's the only one that gets to ride in my pocket though :D

It has been a fun Challenge and in great company. So thank you FoBo for kicking this off. I've thoroughly enjoyed myself and pushed the boat out with The Red Baron my new MiniChamp. This Challenge nudged me into that very useful and snug multitool.

This has been fun to follow and the small ones does pack a punch! Might have to get me a couple of the other sizes. 58mm are great but between them and 91.. Well a LOT to choose from.

I found that I hardly ever needed a multitool any larger for daily urban tasks.
As for the little gift for completing the last challenge within the challenge, I assigned each of you numbers:
FaB 22
GS 44
Syem 66
Vicman 88
Then random.org selected 41, so GS, you're getting a little item sent to you!
Congrats! :cheers:

And as you say FoBo for most daily urban tasks you can usually get by with 74mm or less. I used to be a bit sceptical about smaller multitools but they have grown on me. I'm going to keep going with the Red Baron but I picked up a black LM Micra yesterday because I do rate having a small screwdriver close at hand and LM's Micra has saved my bacon in the past when my glasses have become "relaxed".
Thank you FoBo for making this a fun Challenge :like: :cheers: :hatsoff:

My Minichamp made the trip, with the pen and the main blade seeing most of the use in filling out merit badge forms and cutting open snacks :D. My Ironman watch didn't fare well in the Polar Bear Plunge, so that lovely Philips head opened the back up and saved the day. We were in a camp, so I had no need of a saw or anything larger. I never felt I needed anything else!

This was a tricky one to come up with something that would fit in a small badge. Kev D came up with the idea of the ≤ symbol meaning equal to or less than hence the ≤74 . Unfortunately scaled down it only looks like < but It works :tu:

Also, I'm making a giveaway too:
The prize is *something* that I've added a little touch to.
The winner is *someone* who participated in this challenge.
The package already left this morning. It will probably arrive a few days after this challenge ends.
I ask that the winner post about it here but only when he or she receives the package.
I'm not kidding :D
Guess what!? I was the winner!
I remember reading this post and wondered who would be the lucky one and had been waiting to see a post about it, only to discover I had won!
I was away from home for a few days and this was put in a mail collecting location that I thought was not my pile of mail, so I didn't discover it until this morning!
This is very special Syem and I love it!

Very interesting topic! I carried a black classic SD from the early 1980s through 2015 before going with 91mm SAKs. These days, I have been carrying an Executive. It is so compact that I forget that I am carrying it until I need it and the tools are very useful. I have never used the orange peeler for oranges but it works perfectly for plastic bubble packages and for other tasks.
