Hey everyone!

So I've been searching for a new SAK. I really like my Alox Cadet, and I ordered an Alox Electrician. While doing a search, I noticed some past models that look just like the electrician, but with a hawkbill type blade instead of the sheepsfoot blade. Are there any models currently in production that have these features? I just need Alox, main blade, bottle opener, and hawkbill blade. Thanks!
 
It's called Rancher and is currently in production.

Are you sure? Knifecenter lists it as discontinued, the big river site lists it as "not currently available", BladeHQ doesn't have it...seems unlikely to me that an SAK still in production wouldn't be available at at least one of those sites...
 
Harvester
First Mate

Those two fit the bill.

I haven't seen any (in current production) without the saw, you just have to choose which is better for your wallet and whether you want an awl or a needle for hiking/camping repairs.
(Possibly drill a small 1/16" hole in the awl with a carbide bit to mod the awl to a needle as well)

There are these as well, but I am not sure if any of them are still in production. Check out swiss bianco.
Pioneer Rancher (no saw)
Electrician Plus
Electrician Duo Plus

You are correct! The store where I found it lists it as "out of stock". I didn't notice that. Since I am not a fan of the pruning blade (Vic does a very poor job at sharpening them) I don't follow the rancher much. I did find one regular NIB Rancher on ebay. You can also try swissbianco. He has several configurations with pruning blade. They are special edition there so are more expensive though. Harvester is like a Rancher but with an extra layer with a woodsaw. Pruner is a one layer SAK with main blade and prunign blade
