Just saw this and I'm in.
Day1 Feb5
This Vic OH Trekker has been my primary EDC for a few years now. Ocasionaly I swap it for a climber and a CS Recon1, but 9/10 its the Trekker in my pocket.
That is one used knife! Time for a spa soon to relax?


Today's carry: arrived today, crickets Graham Razel (sadly the liner lock don't work, don't they have any quality checks?!), it's huge but I've wanted to own a Graham Razel since I first saw his other knives on the Nick Shabazz YouTube channel. Also carry: Whittling Recruit, Executive and 111mm !

Is that an Executive? Looks a bit big.... :think:

Sorry about the cold, Gath. I don't know if Finns have a cure, but here we always recommend lots of hot chicken soup!

I've got a cold too.  Started with an irritated throat for a few days and peaked yesterday with the running nose and watering eyes, etc.. At least I hope yesterday was the peak and my symptoms are on the decline.

Day 5

My Day 5 picture is a public service message for those of you in the colder, northern parts of the country where you're dealing with winter.  That green stuff, in case you've forgotten, is called grass. It's what normally covers those parts of your yard that are presently covered by snow.

Day 5 -- Fireman

We were supposed to put a fair number of Buddleia (summer lilac) into the ground, but as it turned out one of our subcontractors was late in delivering the soil. The plants will have to wait a few days.

It's a chilly 57F here in SE Washington and look my Maple tree is budding.

Jeep the SAK of the auto world or is it SAK the Jeep of the Knife world?

Nix, I will happily trade some of your cold winter days for some of my miserably hot summer days.  Those days when the heat and humidity are both in the high nineties and you're drenched in sweat as soon as you step outside to go between the front door and the car.  I hate being in Florida over the summer.

As it's quite apparent from my lack of badges, I haven't completed or even tried a challenge yet, so what the hell, why not start with this one? So, I'm in with my Hercules, hope we'll deal with this Herculean task okay...  ;)

Day 05....and Day 00:

I quit.

Gary, Alan, and NuclearRamen got me all agitated over not having scissors. And, right now, it just so happens that some of the things I'm doing are more amenable to scissors work. And I kept seeing these Outriders pop up here. So I got one.

Let me review, after a brief 5 days, my OHT:



This is simply a fabulous knife. The OHT is big, but still rides nicely in the pocket. While the main blade can be opened with either hand, it's not a blade that deploys quickly or easily. But, still, it can be opened using just one hand. The main blade locks open with a liner lock, and the large driver/cap lifter does as well. The accessory tools (saw, can opener, cap lifter, Phillips, Awl) awl work well. I've never really cranked on the drivers, but for light driver tasks they work nicely. I should point out that the Phillips is a #2 sized Phillips driver.

Most importantly, the OHT just feels great in my hand. It feels like it has been designed for work, and I like that. My one criticism, and a small one at that, is that the blade is rounded and not quite as pointy as I'd like. Not a big deal, just a bit odd. Otherwise, this is a fabulous knife.

For a knife without scissors.

My new Outrider arrived today and I'm pretty stoked. If the OHT is a Hiker on steroids, the Outrider is a beefed-up Huntsman. It has scissors. I like scissors. Now I've got scissors.

I'm switching from my OHT to the Outrider. I feel a little badly switching horses in midstream, but I really want to give the chunky Outrider a 30-day trial. I have some doubts that I'll be happy carrying such a big knife for 30-days. I think the OHT has already proven to be an easy carry for me. I've shied away from the 4-layer Outrider in the past because of it's size. However, I want to see if the Outrider will work for me; a 30-day challenge seems like a perfect test. And I gave in to those scissors.

I'll pick up tomorrow, resetting my clock back to Day 01, and do a little more comparison. Then, it's off for a 30-day Outrider challenge. Already the Outrider has come in handy......

I’d like a Carpenter, but with scissors instead of the pliers.

Nix I'm sure you won't have any difficulty carrying the Outrider.  :like:

For me the only thing that will replace it is another Outrider when they offer it with a OHO blade.

The Outrider is my only 111mm, and a recent purchase that I wasn't sure about, well let me tell you this challenge is making me a fan, I'm carrying it in a sheath right now but might try a pocket, it's also my first experience with scissors on my person, and I won't be able to go without now

Horses are made to be switched. One gets tired, and you hop on a new one.  Same with big SAKs.  Its okay.    :salute:
