Does anyone know if there is a SAK that has a large blade, a small blade, a saw and maybe an awl?
I have seen this combination (like the Tinker, but with a saw blade) but only with a the can opener and bottle opener. I think one like I have described would be great to add to a small basic kit, and would keep the weight down. Though the can opener and bottle opener tools are nice, I haven't felt a need for them in any of my wilderness emergencies (and I carry a Wave tool on my belt).
I haven't found one in my searching, but was wondering if anyone else know if there was one available.
Thanks,

Thanks numberthree.
That economy model is almost perfect, if only it had a small blade or awl instead of the cap lifter.
Wonder if I could grind the cap lifter into an awl??
Hmmmm...


I sure loved reading the Tintin series when I was younger. Had a whole set. Need to try and find those again
 
I don't know if you can get without openers, but Pioneers (known as "Soldier" elsewhere?) is sturdy with alox handle. For more familiar red or black handle, Hiker has everything you want- but with openers, unfortunately.

Considering that the can and bottle openers only add one "thickness" to the knife overall, I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss them. Remember the old Sylvester and Tweety cartoon where they were stuck in a snowed-in cabin with LOTS of canned food and *no* opener? :~}
