Nice! Your carvings always look so clean and flawless.

I've often wondered whether there are any law enforcers who would measure the combined lengths of all the cutting edges on a SAK saw. If there are, then a lot of SAK carriers could fall foul of the law.

I've put new scales on a Huntsman before, but this is the first that I have completely taken apart.

Ingenious solution! I like it a lot.

Favourite is my companion of 34 years, a Victorinox Huntsman that I bought with some birthday money (16th birthday) IMG_20220415_190133~2 by Alan Muddypaws, on Flickr I couldn't afford the fully featured version, but got the economy model instead (no tweezers, toothpick and inlaid shield)...

I recently got a Victorinox Forester, because I quite like the handle shape of the 111mm SAKs, and I thought the larger blade and saw would make for a useful "mucking around with bits of wood" knife. However, I had real problems with getting the awl out (thumbnail breaking stiff), so I...

If I'm out for a walk I will generally have a cheap piezo lighter in my bag. My brew kit will have a ferro rod, which I find easy to drop a shower of sparks into a Trangia meths burner. Most other times I will have a Tortoise Gear Firefly mini ferro rod in my SAK, so I suppose that is my true...

Some good points made in the video. Olight are perhaps trying to be a bit like Apple in guarding their own proprietary ecosystem. That said, I have quite a few Olights now, but I am by no means a demanding user ( and I live in a well lit city) Regarding the magnetic tail caps though, I keep...

Impressive skills Mr Kepis!

Merry Christmas! Nice bit of fine carving.

Nice work!

After a brief dalliance with Spydercos I have gone back to SAKs for my daily carry. I rotate between Huntsman, Camper, Alox Pioneer and Alox Farmer. Occasionally I will carry a Spyderco Squeak or a Svord mini Peasant. I have other UK legal carry knives, but they hardly get any pocket time...

Lovely clean carving!

Wow! That is one very handsome spoon.

Nice! Your octagonal handles are very distinctive.
