Crazy talk.

The only thing wrong with a Fieldmaster is the lack of a metal saw/file. Or that it's not 84mm...

This was going to be my first SAK purchase. Then the SwissChamp appeared. So I got that. But I did not want a corkscrew...until I saw different usage than a wine cork ( not a drinker)

... come to think of it: the Hiker is even more pointless. Saw and Philips, but does not even bring scissors to sweeten the deal. The king is dead, long live the king?
That was my very first SAK. :twak:

(Never mind that I disassembled it later to turn it into something different, because the backside Philips sucks compared to the inline one..)
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!

Hang on a minute. Now you've gone too far. 

I actually think that the Hiker is an excellent entry-level SAK, for a number of reasons.  It's the one I gift the uninitiated friends of mine. 
- its very easily pocketable
- by now, people know if they run into corked wine or not... and if they do, they have their contingency plans (electric powered corkscrews at home, wine keys in the camp kit).  a priori, a Phillips seems more useful than a corkscrew, so I think people appreciate it as a gift more easily
- The Hiker has the same elements as the OHT and the Soldier, both tools many of us already find indispensable
-  The Hiker also has similar elements in comparison to the Farmer, another outdoor favorite
- for someone who hasn't used knives for their whole lives, the added capability of the saw seems to give the uninitiated the sense that they can cut through whatever it is they need to.  Meanwhile, withholding the scissors gets them more comfortable with using the knife for things that most people don't use a knife for (that we do)... cutting paper, opening letters, boxes, cutting cord...  (at least where I'm from, I'd say most people dont EDC a knife or MT)

Check out this video.  I really like this guy, very entertaining video.

Personally I feel "the most useless SAK" is the one left on the nightstand.

Maybe, just maybe, the original question "Fieldmaster - the most useless SAK?" should have been: "Fieldmaster - the lest usefull SAK?"...??

I would have to disagree with you about the fieldmaster.

While I don't drink wine most of the SAKs seem to come with the corkscrew and I've found the spirals of it dig into the palm of my hand if I use the wood for a prolonged period.

So nicely put and so true. 

I think Simon Templar's original point in starting this thread was just to get some discussion going, not necessarily to inflame the Fieldmaster's fans, who are legion.  We are all Knights of the same Order, and have more in common than not.  I hate the backside Phillips, you hate the corkscrew.  Just gives us something to talk about. 

Imagine how boring the Avengers would be if they all had the same super powers!

Thanks Myron and well put. Good analogy too! :tu: Any SAK can be superhero in the pocket or on the key ring!

:iagree: This is definitely agreeable too!  :rofl:

MTO is the only forum I’m apart of. I have stalked around for a few years and I’ve notice the lack of who can pee farther arguments. And for that I felt accepted and joined we all have interests in the same hobby. Whether that be user or collector. And our own individual preferences are fun to read!
Okay sorry to go off topic. FIELDMASTER RULES!!!!

I forgot to include the modders! Apologies!

I like that one as well--it's called either an Artisan or Craftsman. Mine has the file on the Phillips and no can key.  Victorinox rebuilt one I had that was beat up, but I don't carry it much aside from around the house and barnyard. Main reason--they are uncommon and hard to replace if I lost it. And the Wenger Handyman doesn't hold a candle. Honestly, I just simply don't get the deal about Wenger scissors.
