I have only one Explorer  :o  but I'm willing to carry it for a month.  Anyone else?   I'm thinking December or January.

I participated in the Explorer challenge in May of this year.

The Explorer is certainly a capable SAK, but I’m not sure I would be interested in another Explorer challenge quite so soon.  Stranger things have happened, though.

If we can bend the rules enough to allow in my Deluxe Explorer Plus mod, I’d be game. I use the pliers almost daily at work so couldn’t give them up for a month.

My 1983 Explorer was my only SAK for the past 40 years!…until I recently started officially collecting SAK’s…however, it was always in my top desk drawer and was used constantly at home, but very rarely carried on my person.  I think the 4 layer makes it a little less portable.  Yes, the Yeoman is a nice answer, but the Explorer’s awl really comes in handy not only as a punch but as a nice scoring/opening tool when you don’t want to dull up your knife blade on a cardboard box etc.
