Which 1-2 Layer SAK do you trust most?
on: July 23, 2018, 07:30:09 PM
This may or may not have been a topic talked about already.
So if you could have only one SAK with 2 or less layers, no MTs or folders to complement it, what would it be?
For me it's the Serrated Wenger Highlander. I do get the usefulness of the corkscrew but it came down to the fact that I'm a Wenger fanboy, and I gotta go with a model with a Phillips. 
(Plus to me a combo edge is ideal for most EDC cutting tasks)
So what's your trusty 1-2 layer?

The only knife I carried on multiple deployments was a Victorinox Compact.

Both it and I emerged unscathed.

BTW it´s complement. To compliment is something else altogether.  ???

Hands down the pioneer. Everything I need, nothing I don't. Sturdy and pocketable. IMO, it's the perfect pocket knife.

Yup, has to be the best all-around VSAK for me too.  I'm also a fan of the Pioneer and tend to alternate between these two.   If we allow one more layer, I'll go Yeoman and then carry a Cadet or Pioneer as well.

As long as one of the layers is the two openers I'm good  :tu:

Below is a pic of my first SAK a mid 80's nylon scaled Bantam, I broke the combo opener using it as a pry.
And my replacement, I carried this nylon scaled Recruit from around 1991 retiring it for a Camper I received this past Christmas, the two opener layer rules for me for so many uses  :cheers:

If I have to go minimal, I choose the Executive.  For the other size, probably the compact, cause I often use scissors.

For me, it's the Compact.  Any mod that I have made always starts with the Compact in mind and built up from there.
Rest in peace ColoSwiss, you will always be remembered.

I'll chime in with the Pioneer.

It's a crap shoot between the Compact (Scissors) and the Pioneer (in line awl, indestructible).
Open it up to three layers and hands down a Pioneer X.
