Alternative Compact
on: March 30, 2021, 10:12:01 PM
I’m a great fan of the Compact, I think it’s an incredibly well thought out SAK but never carry mine because the toolset just doesn’t quite work for me personally ..so this is my take on it.

Nothing clever just a reconfig of basic tools that still make a pretty feature packed 2 layer ;0) See what you think...

Great mod!

I liked all your tool choices

My favorites SAK's have a file.
(The Trail Guide is a Compact plus a file)

I’m a definitely a fan of the multi-function file and think it often makes more sense that the wood saw if you have to choose between them but you can’t argue with sales and the Huntsman has  been one of the top selling models in the range pretty much forever I imagine. Wonder what the proportion difference is between that and Mountaineer sales?

Don’t get me me wrong I love the wood saw - it feels more dangerous than the actual blade to me and perhaps people like the aggressive and functional nature of it in such as small format?

For me edc should at least have a file and a cap lifter of a some sort and a blade even if it’s small - everything else is a bonus. The Manager is a genius construction in my book and always have one on my  keychain.

I also put this 91mm ‘Sportsman X’ together recently which is getting a lot of pocket time...yes I cut an orange peeler into the can opener!  :rofl:
