SI ready for duty.
This will be my first challenge with a Wenger and without scissors!
(And also will be a perfect excuse to put in use that beautifull knife! )

Okay, I'm in. Now the only question is: will I be carrying a fairly new black Pioneer, or its older silver brother?

Rough one.

I think I'd go with the SI, honor due, but it's your choice to make.....

Quite right. From now through 30 January, awl dog faces enlistees will ready their gear for operations to commence on 31 Jan 2022 (local time). We will move out as one unit, working together to secure the mission objective....which is to survive with one SAK until 30 April 2022....with a smile.   :D

( we're starting on 31 Jan so we can finish up after 90 days on 30 April.  ;) )

It just occurred to me that the Swisstool is issued around the world.  Would that be acceptable?

Soldier up!



No Swisstools. This is a Swiss Army Knife challenge designed to test and honor the original SAK and the Soldier model.

No quibbling! Now drop and give me ten.

For the actual challenge I'll be carrying a 2008 Victorinox 111mm Soldier, but today I'm warming up by carrying my birth-year SAK:

Added a 300lb braided fishing line for the fob.
It never would have occurred to me to use fishing line for a fob...probably because I don't fish for anything that would necessitate its use. Cool idea!

Today I'm warming up by carrying my birth-year SAK.
:like: I'll have a birth year SAK eventually. I'm neither able nor willing to shell out north of $100 for one right now.

It's a fun SAK to have, but they sure have become pricey these days.   :dwts:

Way too thick. I have it as super-strong survival twine, about $5-10 including china posted for 100m. It is much more compact than 550 paracord.

Also, use the 6lb-10lb stuff as sewing thread
