Yup, Golfer is basically an 84mm Compact. Not easy to find these days sadly. The old Wenger Diplomat also does a lot of what you want and is more recently retired. https://www.sakwiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=Diplomat&highlight=diplomatThe Ambassador is basically and oversized Classic.
That's my Diplomat in that wiki page I should give it some more love and carry it sometimes.
This thread got me thinking. The SwissBuck Advantage / Sidekick has the tools you mention in three layers vice 2. But it is as hard to find as an 84mm Golfer.
If you haven't heard of Andrew Skurka, he is a well-known long distance hiker with several long solo trips in remote places. I just googled his name and "pocket knife" and found this Vic endorsement:In the video he mentions a 'Tinker', but I've seen a presentation by him where the knife in his gear (first aid kit) is a Classic. My personal hiking hero, Colin Fletcher, wrote that he used a 'Tinker' during his treks. The text and illustration makes it clear that he is referring to a Super Tinker. However, he notes that when he (temporarily) lost his 'Tinker', he replaced it with a....wait for it....Vic Classic.(Image removed from quote.)
As a knife/SAK enthusiast, I just can't see myself giving up the larger chassis just because of the slight weight penalty.
:agree: I second. With hiking like that everything is a compromise and I think I’d rather the bigger more capable Farmer X or other SAK over the weight savings. I also am not skimping on TP!
I've been giving this more thought, and I think the knife I'd love to carry on a distance hike would be a Compact with a saw that replaced the scissors layer. I love Vic scissors, but I like having a saw on hikes. FoBo has something along these lines, and that seems to be the ideal, imo.
I don't see a SAK Wiki page for the Walker. I think it is a two-layer 84mm.....
You're right Nix. The sad truth is we live in a time of twist off caps and pull tab cans...even wine bottles have become corkscrew free areas I was wrong buddy. She has a customized Yeoman. You know how it goes... when you're looking for something you can never find it
Don’t own one but I’ve been eyeing one! Yes sir I believe they are 84 mm two layers with no back layer tools.
Jack, those are perfect! That Bushcrafter is ideal.
It's the same as the My First Victorinox, except for the blunt knife tip.
