The Explorer is my favorite EDC SAK.  It has the best balance of daily function to size for my needs and pocket.

I have such mixed feelings about the Explorer!

I love it for nostalgia reasons - it was my first SAK that I got while in the Boy Scouts.

But...

I'm really of two minds about the Phillips/mag glass layer. Sure, they are fine tools. The problem is that the 2D can opener Phillips can do 90 - 95% of what the 3D Phillips can do. Not to mention the fact that the driver is too thick to reach many recessed screws  I come across. It's also the wrong size - I wish it were more of a #0/#1 as opposed to the #1/#2 size that it is. That would make it have somewhat less overlap with the Can Opener.

Also, it's too short (e.g. - too short to reach screws on a door knob, for example)! My original Explorer is a mid 90s model and the driver is longer. I bought a new one last year with the idea that I would carry/use that one from time to time and preserve my first SAK. But the driver is shorter for no apparent reason. I've read that it's because of the change in mag glass over the years, but I'm not sure about that. There's a pretty big gap between the two tools on that layer. The driver could be longer by at least 1/8" without any issue opening/closing the new style mag glass that I can see.

I have actually found the 58mm Combo Tool Phillips to be VASTLY more useful and versatile. It can do anything from #00 to #2 screws! I keep a Rambler in my pockets at all times. To be fair, most of the screws I encounter are in electronics and kids toys where #0 and #1 size screws are by far the most commonly used. You don't see many #2 screws in that arena, though they are used much more in construction and furniture.

The mag glass is great and I do use it from time to time when working on things like computer/networking equipment. But it's not something I need to keep in my pocket 100% of the time. Instead I keep my Explorer out on my desk so it's handy when I'm tinkering with stuff.

So... yeah. I think the Explorer is great! And I don't end up carrying it much. I'm much more likely to be carrying a Spartan/Tinker/Recruit along with a Rambler. The Deluxe Tinker is attractive with the pliers though!

The Explorer is my most frequently carried SAK. Paired with a Midnite MC and I’m set.

I seem to be of the opposite mindset as Marlowe for carrying it, and I find frequent successful use of the Philips. but were of like minds regarding those darn door knob screws and pairing with the 58mm combo tool.

The Explorer is a great SAK.  It was one I carried and enjoyed for a long time.  I think for some, we just move on to smaller or other options.  Thats true for me at least.  Thats not to say I don't like the Explorer.  I had a GAW, I like it and recommend it so much. 

I wont give mine away even tho I don't carry it all that much.  I have nothing but love for it.

I’ve been carrying the Explorer as my at home or as part of an out and about carry rotation for a little while now. It is easily my favorite and preferred SAK. 

The most used tools are the inline Philips, scissors, small blade, and mag glass. Sometimes the lens is just used for pics here, but it has seen a lot of use examining bug bites since our move. These tools are used several times a week if not several times a day. The scissors need a touch up and have already loosened a bit at the rivet I use them so frequently.

I’ve been increasingly using the main blade and the awl, but not as much as the above tools. The main blade would be better serrated in my opinion, which I often use a PBMT for. The awl has seen use reusing zip ties and starting pilot holes for various things as I do with my other SAKs.

All tools get several times a week use except the hook and corkscrew, although we’ve recently moved closer to family and I’ve had occasion to open more wine bottles. I’m even using the tin opener, but mostly to salvage a seltzer water can with busted tab. For some reason the brand we buy has at least 1 wonky can in the pack.

The Explorer is certainly appreciated in this house for its usefulness so much so my wife now carries one.

The Alox MC is probably the best compliment (also one on the wife’s keys), but I could get away with an Alox Rambler if such existed.

Vic did us good with this model for sure.

For my next SAK I'm really torn between the Explorer and the Compact. Both have a lot of desirable features :think:

For my next SAK I'm really torn between the Explorer and the Compact. Both have a lot of desirable features :think:

The Compact for me is best out and about like at the shops or at the office, while the Explorer has a more versatile toolset I’d need at home (or someone else’s house).

It is easily my favorite and preferred SAK. 

Same here.  I continue to experiment with others, but always come back to the Explorer (Plus).  Its just too good, starting with the inline phillips.
