I carry an alox farmer use all the tools on it regularly.

The blade is a trifle thicker than the plastic scaled saks.

Been looking at that for a while but the price has gone up on Amazon from £20 posted to £25 ad £5 delivery over a few days...

The Cadet II has been edc for me for a whole bunch of years. Love the knife. Good luck on finding one. I think it's been out of production several years or so.

I to have a farmer, as well as a couple of the "normal" style ones, i don't like to go anywhere with out one(or 2). If you look at my back posts, you can see a belt pouch that topknot made for my farmer.

Or you could customise one you have by popping the scales off and making some new ones of Antler/wood/anything you fancy.... even more stylish!
My EDC is a standard SAK that Capn Badger rescaled with Antler :)

As John said popping the scales and fitting some wood is easy if you take your time, this is my EDC.
