Ok - I could probably go to their web site and dork around until I got the answer but I'm guessing someone here knows this off the top of his/her head.

What is the smallest readily available (not some one of a kind million dollar knife) SAK that has:

* At least 1 blade
* Scissors
* Wood saw
* Toothpick / tweezers - nice but not a must have

Anyone? Beuller?
 
FieldMaster - you rock, Andrew! Thanks a ton!
:thumbup:

It's even got that goofy hook thing that mystified me for years on another SAK I have. Works great for stretching new guitar strings - not sure what else though. :-p
 
smallest -farmer-no toothpick or tweezers-thinnest but a full 91mm-no scissors either now that i think about it

I was looking at that one and like it, but I use the scissors almost as much as the blade and the farmer seems to be lacking those.

Keep your eyes on EDCsource.com, there will be a Scibeer Victorinox Farmer with scissors and clip going up for auction. One sold last month at an auction for Felinevet for $130. Well worth it, and a good cause too. I believe there will be only 2 more made.

Details & pics

I'll have a look - thanks for the heads-up.

now SAKs are considered "multitools" and when each individual tool can be used for other things, that's a plus!

like the Corkscrew: pulling corks, untying knots, holding the little screwdriver, awl, pushing/pulling things in tight spaces and more.

the Hook: carrying parcels (with string), hanger, holding the pen, picking up hot cups/pots with a bale, pulling things in tight spaces and more.

;)

I use to think comments like the quote above were just wishing thinking, but to my surprise as I started using SAKs, I found this to be very true. Not just true in a "testing" my knife sort of way, but instead based on actual use in response to situations that arise during the average day.
 
Put a SAK in your pocket and once it is integrated in your system, you will use it for many, many tasks and wonder how you could survive so many years without. :)

Anyway, I think both the Huntsman and Fieldmaster should fit your needs. Of these two I only have two Huntsmans, for some reason that model is widely available here in the Netherlands, the Fieldmaster is not very common.

It does. Think it's between that and the nearly identical Fieldmaster. Huntsman has a corkscrew and Fieldmaster has a Phillips head.

Corks are scarce in my world though the corkscrew has a few other uses (helping with stubborn knots, etc.). The extra screwdriver... could come in handy I suppose.

They both look pretty nice to me.
 
I was just trying to figure out why I have a hook in general, and then I saw a fieldmaster and wondered why I don't have that model, then I realized that my huntsman is almost the same and felt alright about it. I guess if I didn't know the fieldmaster existed I would have never felt like I was missing something (phillips head). maybe I will get a mini phillips for my corkscrew to make me feel better.

next time I have to pick up a hot pot off my camp stove or fire, I hope I remember my hook.
