Would a modern day MacGyver still use a Swiss Army Knife?

[irona]

With all the options available when it comes to multi-tools, do you think a modern MacGyver would be tempted to switch from his trusty SAK? If so, what would he switch to?

I don't see him lugging around a leatherman, though I suppose it's possible. I'm kind of leaning that he'd still use a SAK.

He does in the new series.....

I havent seen any of those yet- I remember he had a microtech OTF in the trailer though. He kept the SAK?

A while ago I enjoyed some of the old episodes on YouTube. He uses the blade of his SAK mostly and sometimes a screw driver. I think a modern MacGyver will still stick to using such basic tools, but perhaps adds pliers to his options. In case he wants to have pliers, I think one of the basic models of the Leatherman Juice line, probably the S2, would we his choice. Or a Squirt P4 maybe. Just like in the old days, he'd probably have a range of multitools to choose from.

I think a Skeletool would also be a good combination of those

the old days are gone
and present knife carry challenges
might see a switch to even smaller
non-locking tools as in the
Swisstech Micro-Max

Of course, what should he use else?

MacGyver would definitely carry a SAK because the overwhelming percentage of his viewers recognize it as the all purpose gizmo that anyone could carry. In reality , he would probably rely on some variety of a pliers based multi-tool because it is more useful, but the masses would be perplexed, thinking it was something exotic or maybe just made up for the series. Kind of like the Star Trek flip phone communicator... oh, wait.

^^This is the correct answer.

Did they have to pick a member from Hanson to be the new Macgyver?? Sheesh.

They'll never be able to replace the original. I miss the 80's!

SAKs are still as useful as they have ever been. So why not?

 

[ThePeacent]

Swiss? Yes, of course, the one and only

Army? Maybe, but I guess it's more Civilian

Knife? I'd bet Multitool describes it best

Which then? The best out there, undisputable champion of its kind :thumbup:

Hell yea he would still use a red swiss army knife , he just wouldnt be mac if he didnt ,haha
