That's what I want in a SAK for hiking, a blade, a saw, and a pair of scissors. In fact, it doesn't really need to have a blade, but I really want the saw and scissors.

The limited search I've done so far has found me a variety of models with those three items, but once you get into the ones with scissors AND a saw, they start getting really big and having a lot of stuff I don't need.

So... which is the most basic SAK available that has both a saw and a pair of scissors? It will be used for hiking/backpacking.
 
I think the thinnest model with scissors and a saw is the Huntsman.
Thats a four layer model. (large blade/small blade, canopener/bottle opener, scissors, saw, with an awl, corkscrew and hook on the spine, toothpick and tweezers in the grip panels, and a lanyard ring).
Actually the Huntsman is one of my favorite SAK's right up there with the Pioneer, Farmer, Compact, OHT and the Swisschamp.
 
Without getting a mod done, I can't think of anything better for you than the Huntsman. It's a great SAK that I've carried a lot over the last couple of years.

Sweet, has trying to find something like this.


By the Huntsman does look like a really good option. It is a bit thicker than I'd like, but it has everything I want in it.

I know what you mean. The reason I did my first ever mod was to make a thinner Huntsman. I ended up with this what I called the Huntsman Slim.

Another, easier, option is to look at a belt pouch or hanger. Here's the one I use pictured with a standard Huntsman. The fit works well.

The only think is that is has a velcro flap that some folks wouldn't like.

That mod is cool. The can opener can easily be used as a bottle opener and the small blade is nice, but not needed. A custom SAK maker would be cool. Go to the SA website and have a SAK built with everything you want and nothing you don't want. $200 later you'd be all set lol.
 
Wenger has a similar model too.

Here's the Handyman model, also available in black:

Wenger also has versions with locking blades, ergonomic scales, and red or yellow ergonomic scales with rubber inserts.
