Having a super amount of fun on my first challenge (Minimal SAK)...

Also, just ordered my first fixed blade... so I think I have at least one of every tool category now. I have to EDC some sort of blade for work. So if I didn't have a fixed blade, I felt like I would be cheating if that's the hand that I was dealt and then had to carry my folder anyway. Now I can play with a clear conscience.

I'd like to think that besides "fun", this challenge can push me to leave my traditional carry behind and try to see if I can get by (or even learn to love) carrying a different category of tool. The Minimal SAK challenge has really made me realize that my Tinker is more usable than my traditional folder... albeit significantly less fun to "fidget" with.

I also love poker...

I'm game.

I'm having a great time with these challenges, although I think my wife thinks I'm crazy taking pictures of my knife all of the time!  Just to clarify - the trads/folders category just means a folding blade without a bunch of extra tools?  Then I'm in!
thanks for running this!

Yes....don't worry, everyone's housemate, roommate, spouse, girlfriend, boyfriend, and awl of thems.....they think you're mad at first, then they get used to it. Eventually they start reminding you to take a photo or pointing out photo ops.   :D

And, yes, the Trad/Folder category cover traditional folding knives like a Stockman or a modern folding knife like a Spyderco.   :tu:

Glad you're joining!  It'll be fun!    >:D

Fantastic!  I'll be in with my mini-griptilian, wave +, fallkniven S1 (that will be an interesting carry!) and a SAK!

Thanks comis :tu: after thinking that I needed a break having done four challenges in a row, decided this one sounds too good to miss and the reality being I’d miss doing one…and where else am I going to get to post daft pics of Coco, be warned ;)

Ok, I’m in now that the Farmer X is in March and rereading the thread to ensure I won’t have to carry 4 fixies or plier based MTs simultaneously.

But.....we do have space for a few more players before the first card gets flipped. After the cards are dealt.....you're outta luck. Join in now or sit on the sidelines!

Tomorrow I'll deal comis his starting hand and explain how it plays out in this challenge, just to get things warmed up. I'll deal everyone else's starting hand on the 31st. The challenge will begin on the 1st of February as planned.

Good luck to y'awl!   :tu:

You only need one fixie.

(And even that can be a kitchen or utility knife....)

Now, if you were to draw two pair, and two of the cards that make up those two pair are Spades, you could use up to two fixies. But you only need one.

For example: let's say you have 8 of Diamonds, 8 of Spades, Ace of Diamonds, Ace of Spades, and a Jack of Hearts. That's two pair. So, you could select four tools for that portion of the challenge: two SAKs and two Fixies. If you only have one SAK (what is wrong with you?) and one Fixie, you would just use those for that portion of the challenge (until your hand changes). Someone else might be able to rotate through a pair of SAKs and two kitchen knives.

The bigger problem is that you just drew the Dead Man's hand......  :dwts:
