I'd like to add scissors and saw to my cadet, but I don't think I have the skills required for peening. May just add a saw and nail file to my salesman.

One of my favorites of all my SAKs (custom or factory models.)Highly recommend that combo of tools!

This little beauty showed up in the mailbox today. I originally bought it to use as a base for a custom job from Syph, before I learned he didn't want to work on this size SAK anymore..........
