DAY 29

Little blade pulling package duty this morning.  Got this cheap 3L ultrasonic cleaner for doing carb rebuilds.  (I'm sure it's going to see its share of knife rehabs as well  ;)  )

Very cool.

Day 29

While some noodles were cooking I needed those Italian herbs. They come in a plastic box which needs to be opened for the first time. Don't like those plastic stubs which won't go off easily. That's a job for the more ore less mighty pliers.


Nice...wait...your lanyard is about to fall off!

@sos24 That's right. Two days ago I had a bad experience with pliers on my 125th Anniversary CT (which I got used btw why . The tip got destroyed while trying to get a defective air valve on my bicycle moving. Didn't work as expected. Some chunks of metal broke away and it's a pain in the ass now if you want to deploy the pliers. Maybe it's time for a journey back to the mothership.

Those on the XLT also have some minor quirks but those are hard earned battle scars.

From now on I'll be using the spirit when working with harder metal.

@comis The lanyard is differently attached. Like a key on a keyring. But it really looks if it's about to get lost.

Always love reading your reviews on different SAKs, I still remembered your challenge attracted such a large following that was amazing.  It's a shame Victorinox did not hire your for their advertising team. :like: :like: :like:

Thanks comis  :hatsoff:
Almost as much fun as this challenge!  :like:

Day 29
No use today, but the XAVT quite noticeable on the belt. Pouch seems about the best way to carry this little guy...  :cheers:

I went back and look closer at the picture, I think I know what you mean now.  Interesting way to attach it on via the split ring.  I learnt a new trick on the forum the other day about lanyard tying, and it really did help to secure the lanyard without going thru the split ring.


Thanks comis  :hatsoff:

I too think that's probably the viable option.  Nice puzzle, I can see the two train approaching, but what's on upper right?

Day 29 Grabbed the CT34 for model railroad work, and ended up only using the scissors for some work upstairs.

Day 29
No use again today, so just a picture of the Swiss Champ with the last of today's coffee. I really wish I had more to do with the SAKs I used in this month's challenge but there just weren't many tasks that called for my attention.  It would have been a good month to just be carrying a compact.

Vic scissors is the best, it's funny how people sometimes may prefer a bladeless option, but still want a scissors regardless.

Interesting, I used to carry a zippo though I never have any real use for it.  But didn't know I should empty it before refilling.  Any reason for this?

I use a butane torch insert in my Zippo instead of the standard liquid gas.  With butane refillable lighters, I find that if I ensure it is empty before refilling then it usually runs smoother, but it could just be me.

Headband carry, it's actually pretty manageable and not at all uncomfortable when done indoor. :D

I just looked it up, and it seems like there is merit of emptying before refilling. :cheers:   Sometimes there is air pressure built up inside the compartment, and by emptying it first, more fuel could get in.

Day 30


Last day of STACK challenge, I wholeheartedly like to thank each one of you, whom has taken the time to participate and finish this challenge.  While many are staying at home practicing social distancing, the challenge drew us closer together and bond us in the most unusual way.  In no particular order--

Sos24, thank you for the threaded needle trick, your unlimited supplies of snack always impress me and I'd never seen a SC leaping into the sky like yours did.  And talking about food, Max and Alan, your BBQ and pork shoulder still keep me drooling, they are just too good to be true. :drool:

Max, thank you for the analysis about XAVT vs SC, big fan here, and that leather scale got potential! :tu:


Alan, you are one brave man trying to shave with your SC, and thank you for showing me smoke pork shoulder is a labor of love...and I no longer feel quilty about playing video games while I work from home. :whistle:

Antti Lammi, another brave man drawing first blood in our challenge :salute: , I think it would be safe to say no one use their blades on SC as much as you do, and thank you for showing us how a little TLC with sandpaper can keep a working edge going on SAK!

Ulzhan, "use it like you steal it", I remembered once I read a pharse from Jackknife, descrbing how hard his friend was using the classic, as if it could take on the world.  You surely live up to that, and thank you for the Rasberry Pi idea, someday I gonna make something out of it. :D

While working from home, I got to spend a lot more time with my little one playing Duplo Tow truck and Fire Truck.  And coincidentally, every time I see lego or toys in the thread, it'd put a smile on my face:
Cody6268, what awesome toy cars collection, the Tomica Tokyo ambulance is impressive and not to mention the model rail. :like:

SirVicaLot, thank you for the SAK-lego episodes, what can I say, Troopers is as Trooper does :whistle: , and the camera strap is really outstanding!  The seiko 5 and EDC mini-topic is fun, and I got to see what are everyone's favorites.

I gonna thank Simon_Templar, for showing me how to peacefully conexist with kids and lego and the ghostbuster set was a blast! :2tu:

Btw, did anyone keep tap on how many times Rizio II Ghiro and CraftsmanSAK open beers with their bottle openers vs how many times Simon_Templar used the corkscrew on bottles?

Rizio II Ghiro, I must admit I am jealous of the air rifle, and who would have guessed ratting could actually be exciting? >:D

CraftsmanSAK, thank you for the spark plug trick, the GID scale projects were fun and those rides are awesome!

I also lost count how many SAKs Ivo displayed in this challenge, most impressive collection of Wenger, 111mm and 130mm! :o

Last, definitely not least, thank you ElevenBlade, for many stories sharing about how SAK came into your life during the Scouting years.  I have a similar story way back when, and who would have guessed I get to recall those memories on a SAK challenge, many years down the line? :dd:
And yes, journey of a SAKnight is endless, but I am glad to know all of you along the way! :hatsoff:


Btw, folks, please stay put on the giveaway lucky draw and send me your address via pm for the free magnets! :salute:

Day 30

A warmer day so putting some food out for the birds.  :salute:  a great way to finish, and somewhat relieved that the XAVT can be returned to the shelf...it really is too big to carry or use effectively.  :facepalm:

comis - thank you for running such an engaging challenge.  :hatsoff: it’s been great fun to see all the different SAKs and uses, with some great pics along the way! But if I was to pick my favorite, it’s still the SC.  :cheers:
