Any interest in a Fisherman challenge?

[MTSAK]

Would there be any interest in a challenge with a Fisherman this summer? Possibly June or July if there isn't another challenge it would interfere with? I've got a new one coming and its not one I've used before so I thought a challenge might be the perfect way to serve its "break in" properly.

June would put it up against the Giants of June, though there wasn’t much interest last year so it could end up being cancelled.

July puts it up against the popular Dean51 Memorial Traditional Challenge.

How would you feel about making it a Victorinox Fishing Knives Challenge?  This could open it up the Fisherman and Angler…

I figured there was most likely challenges going on that month but didn't check the list before posting. I'd be up for opening it up to both versions. Heck, any version that has the scaling tool would be good with me.

A general fish scaler challenge over the summer could be fun.  I use the scaler on my outdoorsman and swisschamp as a weed extractor in the garden a lot. 

I already have the scaler badge but would try to find other novel uses for it.

The thing about the fisherman I never get is why it didn’t include pliers… scaler, pliers, and scissors would be great. Otherwise, I don’t think I’d actually use it for fishing.  That said, I don’t know if I’d actually use a SAK for fishing. I never have but also haven’t touched my tackle box in 20 years or more.

The "Drunken Fisherman"/Angler is one of my faves. May and August are open for me. June is a maybe.

I'd be in on a Fisherman/Angler challenge.  Any of the proposed months work for me.

I've used the Swisschamp for fishing namely for the pliers.  I use the scaler for a lot of non fishing purposes.  I have an old Wenger fisherman.  I'd gladly use either if this goes forward.

I've always liked the fish scaler tool for a variety of non fishing jobs. I'd be interested.

Great tool for tea bag removal

What’s the drunken fisherman? Scale and cap lifter only?

Officially, it's an Angler variant, but someone on this board called it that and it stuck.

Layers:
1. Blades/awl
2. Scaler
3. Scissors/Hook (but only if you can find one from the brief period in the early 90s after the hook was introduced, but before they standardized the pliers)
4. Openers/corkscrew

IMO, the cleanest toolset for urban carry Vic's ever made. I wouldn't mind an in-line driver, but the can opener is good enough for light duty work. It's amazing how often the fish scaler is just the right thing to poke, prod, etc. in an office/school-type environment.

I’m ready for this challenge…

So, when's the Challenge going to run?

I'd be in if it's open to any SAK that has the fish scaler.  Only SAK I have that's got a fish scaler is the Outdoorsman.

I’d be up for it but not June, doing magnifier challenge
