Day 25:

Carried my Wenger Soldier today. This particular SAK is very important to me. It was the first SAK I ever bought, which led to many many more and hundreds and hundreds of $$$ spent. Haha

Today, it cut down a bag of chips, so I could reach the crumbs in the bottom. LOL

Just ignore the clutter in the background.

Some great pictures of the Alox models.

Day 25 - using the 1994 Wenger Alox Pioneer to open a package,  more Victorinox knives, thanks for the post on the recent "deals on Alox harvesters".

Day 25, Bonus:

Used the Wenger to open a package from Nelson Seara, with new threaded pivots and screws. Used the flat head/bottle opener to help break down my already-modded Pioneer X. Built this blade/awl only version.

I love my SAKs, and feel naked without a SAK in the left front pocket.
:iagree: Mine rides in my right front pocket, though.

The next time we go Fisher can come with because they have an outdoor dining area.
Fisher would probably enjoy that!

Opened up some new batteries to fix the cat's toy chirping bird.  That actually drives me nuts sometimes...  :facepalm:
The process of changing batteries, or the toy itself? Nice patina on your Opinel, too! :like: What size is it?

No SAK use yesterday, so here’s my EDC pocket dump.
Do my eyes deceive me, or did I spot an Executive?

Day 25
Pineapple on a pizza...hell yes! :drool:

Built this blade/awl only version.
Cool mod! :like:

Yet another great day, y'awl! :2tu:

Day 25

Grabbed a clean pair of Carhartts today. The Bantam is peeking out from its "berth." I should have burned the errant thread before taking the photos. :facepalm:

And here it is sitting on top of the fifth pocket. You can see that it is deep. The Bantam can ride in it sideways.

Every sport has its injuries right? The ever so slightly exposed blade tip got me when I pulled it out of storage. No worries, it will be carried in a slip.

DAY 26

The Velcro on my little girls shoe wasn't working, so the farmer x was used to cut away the old loop side, and sew a new bit on...this was a rush job 30 minutes before they had to be off to school....so a picture of the aftermath

The alox scales were brilliant proxy for a thimble.... highly recommend for the sewing kit

Berry with my 555-1 Benchmade mini grip. Doesn’t come out to play much, as I honestly don’t find it all that useful, but am taking it with me on a short trip this weekend so figured I’d snap a pic.

Cool! I'm guessing those are considered Chicago screws??? They look ideal for SAK mods. I looked on Facebook, but there are many Nelson Seara to choose from. I would absolutely welcome more info on how to source those screws. Thank you!

One day I'm gonna plunk down the dough for a WorkSharp system. :ahhh

That Pioneer loves you. ;)

How does the pruning blade work for that task? :think:

Sadly no usage for PX today...
But you were prepared. That's what counts! :cheers:

Another great day, y'awl! :2tu:

Fresh batteries for the heating control unit. The Wenger Soldier from 1977 did the heavy lifting.

I attempted to use the large flathead driver to pry apart a so-called “quick” connector on the garden hose, but I couldn’t get enough purchase and ultimately resorted to using my fingernails. No action shots because this was in the dark.
