Dream SAK

[smilk327]

I carry this one a lot these days. A Vic Delemont EVOGrip S18 (locking main blade). It has everything a Fieldmaster (Huntsman with a screwdriver) has in a compact 85mm pkg but the secondary blade is a nailfile. I like the size, the Hi-Viz scales and it has the awesome Vic can opener on it.

The original Wenger EVOGrip 18

Three variations Vic S18, Vic 18 and Wenger 18

If you have to have a corkscrew, look for an Victorinox Delemont S17.

Here's a Wenger Mike Horn EVO 17 (bottom)

or a plain Wenger S17 or a Forester (with a non locking main blade)

Wow I love that s17 it looks to be perfect how many layers is it?

Wenger has (had) some really nice tools that covered just the basics, especially those that substituted the secondary small blade by a file, saving a useless tool to those of us who carry other blades around that do small blade things better.
Two examples:

If you don't need a saw, which most urban EDCers don't, this is such a great SAK to carry

And if you want to go outdoors and not carry a pliers based tool but still want pliers for medical/repairing purposes, this other one is excellent. These are all the ourdoors basics for me:

Wenger has really nice, unique and interesting stuff. THey're the "crazy guys" from the SAK world, trying out so many new and weird implements for very specific purposes and having some basic, very well-thought models

What model is that second picture? I am second guessing my saw requirement. Basically because you are correct it's not needed I just figured they are so good on victrinox knives that it'd be good to have on the rare occasion it was needed.

4 layers.

Here's a ref page for the Forester/S17.

I don't really have a dream sak. They have so many sizes and choices that I can usually satisfy my sak needs with an existing model. But just maybe that's why I have so many different models.

I am not enamored with the alox saks (have a few). I certainly like the look but don't like loosing the toothpick and tweezers. I clean my toothpick in chlorox. Don't really use it often, but when I need it, it's quite useful. Same with the tweezers.

Hmm, pliers, saw and scissors. What's this one here?

:thumbup: Thumbsup on the Handyman/Evo18 and Forester/Evo17 suggestions. The Handyman is my SAK EDC, so I admit to being biased. I need to get one of those yellow Evo 18s, though. Super spiffy looking.

Perfect way to describe them!!!! :thumbup::thumbup:

Definitely loving the evo 18s the more I look at it. Anyone else have a perfect sak they like real or not?
