The gist of it is , take one huntsman , replace the masterblade with a file/hacksaw and possibly upgrade the scales to red or orange G10..The concept came out of a beer induced conversation with a former apprentice. We both admitted that we never used the master blade of our collective Humtsmen but always used the pen blade. We also allowed that the file/ metal saw would be a handy item. Thickness wouldn't be increased so ergonomics would be unchanged. What say you Oricles ?Chris
Mike is right

What say you Oricles ?ChrisI don't think it's work as a file needs a seperatly layer all by itself (it's an unsociable bugger ) so I think you'd have to keep the mainblade anyway Have you thought about a Ranger, it's only an extra layer, but would have all the existing tool of the Huntsman, plus a file
