What SAK are ya totin' today?

[Guy McVer]

Recruit & money clip

Makes more sense than Cadet + Ambassador. There's no duplication of the nail file, you get 3 knife blades, and you still get to have scale tools.

Speaking of combos...

Adding the modded Style PS provides wire cutting combination pliers, a fingernail file, a small 2D Phillips head screw driver with a long reach, angled tip tweezers, and a coarser metal file to use before finishing with the finer textured old model SAK file. You can also fit a small SAK toothpick in the Style which frees you to put a firefly steel in the SAK's toothpick slot without giving up the toothpick.

Thanks.
I was looking at a cadet but found the recruit more practical for me. The money clip is just real handy

Man if they only would make the recruit (and the rambler) in alox...

Pocket danglers are amazing.

Been carrying this guy lately. It was the first fully custom SAK that I ever built. At 6 layers, it's pretty bulky, but with a dangler clip it rests vertically in the front pocket of my jeans and I forget it's even there. The lobster claw also lets me easily remove the dangler if I need to.

You can make a pocket dangler from a paper clip if you don't feel like buying one.

I wonder if you could get away with carrying a Swiss Champ like this or if it would still be too heavy.

That's how i carry my Champ. It is clipped into my belt, so the weight is distributed across the hips. It feels weightless like this.

Ah, so that's the trick. I don't usually wear a belt, so I never tried it that way. The most I've done is cow hitch a lanyard to my belt loop as a dangler for my pocket, but this theoretically has limits. You have to worry about attaching something too heavy. With a belt, the weight should be spread out a bit instead of pulling directly on the one spot of your pants where the loop is.

Sportsman got some work today: opening mineral-water bottles for lunch at work. The blade sliced a banana in half while out on a walk in the park

Thanks mate, Bell and Rider pea whistles have relatively no value but they have a bit over 100 years of manufacture in Australia and still to this day many sports referees are using the modern variant. I'm working on getting there full history recorded. The current owners who took over in the 1988, unfortunately didn't keep any records.
Anyway I'll continue to collect them. Ha soon I'll have one for every sak I have

When I read this post it literally rang a bell!
Here are a few of my favourite tools, my Dad's "Rider & Bell" fish scaler circa late 80's, and my new Vic Filleter.
Hope to be using both this weekend on a Barra or two.
(Apologies for this not being SAK, hope the mods let it go through to the keeper though)

We were hightailing it back home in time to see the coronation of our new King. During our 3 hr drive my wife wanted to take a pic of her Huntsman for the forum



I'm carrying the closest thing to Royal Blue that I have.


Long live the King
