For me, it's the 'trinity' of scissors - metal file/saw - inline phillips.

If the small blade is one of my favorite tool on a SAK, then Scissors is probably a close second, especially in an urban setting.

Metal file/saw, since it did once saw my behind on a long trip, and in a pinch, it could do what a wood saw does, but not the other way around.

Inline phillips, it's just so convenient, especially in a 4-5 layers SAK.

Sawing your behind sounds painful haha.

I assume you meant “save my behind”, in which case would you care to share the story?

Maybe controversial but I like the nailclip 580 in the tackle box as I prefer the clippers for line and has file too. It deserves as tiny little 58mm fishy scale in my opinion  :whistle: Strangely I’ve never had an Angler or Fisherman ...for fishing at least!

Fun topic!
Here are two modded knives I have.
I always like having a wood saw in my knives, it goes back to a nostalgic feeling for my first SAK, a Camper.

I recently like adding an inline Phillips to any mod when possible as well.

How much more difficult/tedious is it to Mod a Wenger over a Victorinox? Or do the Vic Delemont have a similar rivet assembly to normal Vics? ( I haven't broken down any of my Delemonts to look at the guts of one).

-Wes.
Work EDC: LM Raptor/Bladeless Pioneer X Mod

Weekend EDC: LM Free P2 or Vic Pioneer X/Vic Rambler/Olight I1R EOS Pro Ti/ Atwood R37Pry

These days I focus on collecting oddball Pharmacy/Medical Advert Victorinox Classics.

 :facepalm:  Thanks Nate for the correction.

It was at a beginning of a long trip and I travelled to a pretty remote location in SE Asia.  Upon checking into hotel, I realized I forgotten the key to a large luggage bag, and it was by sheer luck I had my Mountaineer in another bag which I did have access to.  Without having the metal saw/file with me, the trip would have been cut short or became a lot less fun.

If you go to the Mod Squad board there will be more info there and there are also some pics of breakdowns that may help too- must be some delamonts among them. Imagine they are very similar though...
