I think the Woodsman sounds about most appropriate too.
Hey smcclown05, I see you got one of scibeer's and Felinevet's custom HA III scaled mods too huh? I got scibeer to add the scissors and a pocket clip to mine.
Crappy pic though. I'll have to take some better shots of my entire collection soon. Oh, the top one isn't a Farmer, it doesn't have a saw. I think it's a Soldier(?)

Missed this one the first time around, clever thread idea 
I have to disagree with all of the suggestions for Woodsman. To me a Woodsman would just have the blade, awl and saw. In the woods I don't really have a big need to open bottles, and if I did, I could get by using the spine of the blade or the awl. Can opening, well maybe, but if I really need to open a can in the woods I could use the blade in a pinch, or even the awl. The screwdrivers might come in handy, especially for light prying types of tasks, but generally speaking I can live without them in the woods. Farmer, actually seems like a great name, because besides all of the obvious tasks for the blade, saw and awl, a farmer would be much more likely to need the screwdrivers. My suggestion would be the Town and Country.
Don't get me wrong, I love the Farmer and have had it on every day hike or camping trip I've been on since I got it about a year ago but I do intend on getting a two layer mod one of these days
