I just picked up this little gem: http://www.ebay.com/itm/151237444370?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Nice collection Terry!
Quote from: sir_mike on February 23, 2014, 12:39:09 AM Nice collection Terry! Thanks Mike! I wouldn't have any of these retired SAKs if it weren't for the generosity and help from my friends here at MTO! P.S. Note that the retired knives are all older than the Explorer, obvious from the older type of keyring attachment. That is, with the exception of the Passenger, which has no keyring.
...and an Explorer "family" photo, with knives that, IMO, never should have been retired.Scientist, Yeoman, Passenger, Explorer, Woodsman:(Image removed from quote.)

[Aleph78 uses THREAD NECRO] [It's SUPER effective]Since I finished the makeover on my Explorer, I feel I need to spam about in every possible thread... Seriously though, I'm beginning to think that this may actually be my new favorite SAK, even surpassing my beloved Huntsman (Image removed from quote.)
(Image removed from quote.)One of my favorite SAK's I bought in the early 80's. Not a EDC but I always take it when I travel
Good thread bump. I said it elsewhere but I'll say it again here; I'm really liking my new Explorer. I've also managed to snag one with the new style glass magnifier, though I wasn't bothered by the plastic lensed one TBH.

Wow, over a year since I got my Explorer, I didn't think I'd had it quite that long. Still like it a lot, even if it is plain old red and not a fantastic yellow.

For my uses, the screwdriver is a better fit and I find the individual canopener quite faster as well.

I open like 1-2 cans a year,if that, nowadays and then the combotool is more than enough. Since you also have a separate philips on Yeoman the canopener/driver is not necessary in my opinion.3 layers of the Yeoman is much easier to EDC carry in my opinon without losing much utility, if any.
Can I post my favourite explorer here?Green plus scales added. I also have a red one and a blue one too. (Grey magnifiers) Love the Explorer, back it up with a Farmer and its happy days,
Demel,there are Victorinox Explorer type SAKs with PliersCyberTool 34 (no Magnifier but many bits)Yeoman-Mechanic (Swiss Bianco sold those -but combo tool ipo usual openers)and of course Swiss Champ (but that's 8 Layers thick ) You could also just add a Leatherman P4 or PS 4 to your EDC Explorer. (Heresy to suggest that, I know).
