SAK Huntsman

[Ex-member EagleOwl]

Bought one today. What is everyones thoughts on it? They are legal EDC?

Would prefer a leatherman wave but i'm liking this now.

Not near the same level as a leatherman but a leatherman has locking blades.

It's also my edc as it's perfectly legal! (3"cutting edge and under!)

The old style wave is not really that good.
I have one, and the screwdriver blades are only ground on one side, my Supertool is far superior.

Think i will have to research this thoroughly.

Anyone know the purpose of the hook and the thing next to it are for?

I have one of the new Juice range, legal EDC. Quality control is a shocking especialy when the exchange rate pushes the tools up around 70 spuds.
Try to see one in the flesh if you decide to buy and pick a nice one.

The legal maximum blade length for an EDC is 3", not 3.5"

It might be tricky with the Wave, but on the Leatherman Super Tool (at least on mine) you could fairly easily file away a little bit of the locking springs just for the two knife blades and the rest of the tools would still lock. Better still, you could grind away some of the blades themselves to defeat the locking mechanism, and that way you could still replace them later on if you changed your mind. The Super Tool blades are a shade over 2.5" long so no problem on that score.

I wouldn't do it to mine though. If I were that bothered I'd buy a small slip joint folder. Come to think of it, there's one on my belt.

"...my Supertool is far superior..."

The Leatherman Supertool is a superb bit of kit, I used one in my 'roadie' days, a bit heavy to cart around in rough country though.

I have modified the small blade on the Leatherman Crunch to make it non locking, an easy process. The blade is small enough to make the tool quite inoffensive in appearance and of course you can use it to remove spark plug too.

I have a good one for sale/swap in members classifieds if anyone is interested.

Victorinox Huntsman is a good tool. Give it time for you to get used to it so keep it. Its legal, has all the tools you will ever need. Just look at the tools and you will realise their the ones you will use the most. It so light and small enough to slip into you pocket as well.

You can tell i like this one.
