These are two of my best knives. I'm very impressed with the saw blade on this Farmer, and kind of like the red alox. Carrying these two I do not feel I'm lacking for much when it comes to knife needs/uses.

Sticking with these until after my 67th birth anniversary, next month.

How do you like the six John?

Yesterday was the first time I had it out. Did a little chopping clearing a trail. Felt good in my hand. Plan to use it as much as I can this year.
And the Tops Backpacker Bowie too.

Thanks, I’ll have to try for a better picture when the sunshine comes back. It’s a redbone 6247 from 1973. Nickel silver pins and liners with a pinned shield.

I just want to say that a 91mm Compact + an 84mm Tinker Small = awesome combo

backside tools:

-corkscrew with mini screwdriver
-phillips screwdriver
-hook with nail file
-awl

main tools:

-3 different sizes of knife blades
-91mm scissors
-can opener with small screwdriver
-bottle cap lifter with medium screwdriver and wire notch
-combo tool (mostly redundant)

scale tools:

-ink pen
-2 straight pin slots
-2 toothpick slots; one for a regular toothpick and one for a ferro rod
-2 tweezer slots; one for a regular tweezer and one for a modified tweezer

Why carry the Tinker Small instead of a regular Tinker?

The backside phillips driver is the exact same length on both models, but the shorter handle of the 84mm Tinker Small gives you an additional 7mm of clearance when using the phillips driver in small or awkward spaces. In my opinion, this makes the 84mm Tinker Small better than the regular 91mm Tinker. The tinker Small is of course also more compact in size and lighter in weight, which makes it easier to carry.

What do you mean by a "modified tweezer"?

It's a regular tweezer which has had the ends re-shaped to give it an angled tip. It's an extremely easy and simple modification to do.

Wait, there's ferro rods that fit in the toothpick slot?

Yup. They're mainly meant for emergencies though. Overusing it or using it improperly will cause it to break.

Sometimes It's a SAK & a SAK
Like today, the Ambassador lacks an opener and the Cadet lacks scissors so...

I have an oddball combo for you guys.

The 85mm Delemont Junior 09 + 84mm Waiter.

The J9 is a small 2 layer knife with a woodsaw and a locking blade, and a file with a pointed tip which could double as an awl. That makes it extremely appealing, but it also has a few significant drawbacks. The blade has a rounded tip, which reduces its functionality. The J9 is also missing some things such as a can/bottle opener and a straight pin slot. It would also be nice to have a corkscrew for untangling knots.

Adding the Waiter solves all of these problems. It gives you a pointed blade, a bottle/can opener, a corkscrew, and a pin slot.

And with the Waiter + a Junior 09, you get to to have the backside phillips with a corkscrew at the same time. Oh, did I forget to mention that the J9 has a backside phillips? My bad. Yeah, it's a 2 layer 85mm long knife with a backside phillips.

The J9 costs 40 bucks, but you find it brand new for 20-25 bucks in a few places,

It’s been a SAK/SAK combo for me all week.
