What SAK are ya totin' today?

I have never regularly carried a large SAK (I used to always have a classic SD on me, though), but I have to say that I am absolutely loving my Pioneer X. My most-used tool on it has turned out to be the cap lifter/flat screwdriver, which I use mainly as a pry tool. I also use the awl quite a bit. To be honest, I don't love the blade; it's fine for breaking down boxes, but it did not impress, for instance, slicing an apple. I think I'll probably end up carrying one of my beloved Buck 501 Squires alongside it.
That’s because of the blade angle, from the factory it’s set for being more durable. If you start sharpening it with a bigger tilt towards the back it will get slicy. That’s what I’ve done with my alox soldier.
 
I don't often carry the larger SAK's. But the past few days I have carried this one. I sometimes carry it in the car because of the hooked blade is just like the rescue blade they use to cut seatbelts. And I figure the phillips would be a good glass breaker. Though I have yet to try it.

That's a good knife. I like it.

Forgive me but I'm puzzled as to what is going on here. Please explain.

It looks like the industrious son of Wilfred is making double bladed grafting knives for his ag operation, just like one can buy commercially

I hope sonofwilfred sonofwilfred will chime in what he is grafting, I bet fruit or nut trees. An interesting topic.

Hey son of another man 🤣😂, it's hard to get the right tools out here so I make a lot of my own. We have budded most of our trees we are just running through and budding anything that was missed . The below picture shows how the bud grows is a solid trunk.

It's 110°f today and I'm building sweeper fronts in the shed so I'm glad to get out and walk in the shade of the trees to take a photo for you😁

Hey sonofwilfred sonofwilfred , son of Hermann here :)

Many thanks for your reply, it brings back fond memories. Through a Future Farmers of Australia exchange program I worked on a couple livestock stations in Queensland, one was in the Tambo area, the other one by Julia Creek. One day, a low wing Beechcraft (I think it was) landed on the dirt strip, it was the Stahmann family, a major pecan grower I understand. Small world.

OK, some knife content. I carried a 111mm SAK, my first "good knife" back then.
