Below is a description of MacGyver 100th Episode knife on ebay auction from my saved data.

I examined "BARLOW".
The Panther Pocketknife is very similar to MacGyver 100th Episode Swiss Army Knife.
Panther Pocketknife
MacGyver 100th Episode Swiss Army Knife might be made from BARLOW Panther Pocketknife with Logo.
So, I think the knife used in "The Stringer" may be not a Hunter knife -by Buffaloe but a Panther Pocketknife by Barlow.
But Panther Pocketknife by Barlow has no toothpick or tweezers, and has not a metal saw but a wood saw.
The knife is still cloaked in mystery.

Alright, now that mid-terms are over I got a chance to update wiki with the 111mm info and info about the 100th anniversary piece or irony.

Thank MacDriver for your work!!!
MacGyver used over 10 knives throughout the show.
There are some knives used only once, very interesting.

Yeah, he used a LOT. We have:

1) Tinker Small
2) Tinker Large
3) Sportsman
4) Compact
5) Recruit
6) Spartan
7) Farmer
8) Huntsman
9) Executive
10) Super Tinker
11) Camper
12) 111mm (Picnicker?)
13) Climber
14) Standard
15) Weekender
16) Fieldmaster
17) Promotional Climber w/reverse shield
18) Tourist
19) Wenger Handyman
20) 100th Episode Anniversary Knife

Wow, I hadn't ever thought to add up just the knife names. If you bought all of them at retail it would be hundreds of dollars. I think Mac might've had a problem more serious than Lisa Woodman's addiction

20 knives !? Too many!!!
I read other topic.
Did MacGyver collect SAKs?
MacGyver seems to collect SAKs. But there is a trend what SAKs are used in each season.

In "Eagles" it seems MacGyver uses a Climber model.
Darin Cooper seems to use 3 layer model, and Susan Cooper seems to return MacGyver a knife with Corkscrew.

As well as "THREE FOR THE ROAD", MacGyver used 2 knives in the same scene in "THE BATTLE OF TOMMY GIORDANO". At first MacGyver used a Standard model (it has no toothpick, tweezer or key ring) to open a wall socket, next MacGyver used a 2 layer knife with tweezers to pick the door, then MacGyver used a Standard model again to connect a phone cable in other room. It is very strange.

AH HUH!!!

She switched knives on him!

that no good rotten knife switcher!!

Nice catch! And About Lost Treasure, I am a little busy until Thanksgiving, I'll try to watch all the ones I can when I get home to faster internet. Here at this school video takes 22-3 hours to stream a 1 hour video with all the stalling to load, I guess they think college students should have better things to do than watch MacGyver reruns

From my view:
Slow Death / Executive & Climber
The Eraser / Standard
Final Approach / Spartan
The Road Not Taken / Standard
Eagles / Climber
Soft Touch / none used
Out in the Cold / 3 layer
Bushmaster / none used
Blood Brothers / 2 layer
On a Wing and a Prayer / Standard
Ma Dalton / Standard
The Battle of Tommy Giordano / Standard & 2 layer with tweezers
Runners / Picknicker
The Invisible Killer / Picknicker
Renegade / Recruit Economy

Is there agreement on this?

If so I will update the site list

I examined SAKs on DVDs with a magnifying function, but there may be some mistakes. These are my opinions.
So I want someone to correct if there are mistakes.

I've watched Season 5 on DVD.

The Legend of the Holy Rose (1) / In Oening Gambit, MacGyver used a SAK, but model is not clear.
The Black Corsage / Sportsman or Tourist
Black Rhino / MacGyver did not use a SAK.
The Madonna / MacGyver did not use a SAK.
Log Jam / MacGyver did not use a SAK.
Deep Cover / MacGyver used a SAK, but model is not clear.
The Lost Amadeus / MacGyver did not use a SAK.
Hearts of Steel / MacGyver did not use a SAK.
Rush to Judgement / Standard
And
Partners / MacGyver used a SAK, but model is not clear.

Now I'm watching Season 6 on DVD.

Humanity / Standard
Lesson in Evil / Standard
Bitter Harvest / Standard
The Visitor / MacGyver used a SAK, but model is not clear.
Jerico Games / MacGyver did not use a SAK.
Eye of Osiris / Standard
High Control / Spartan

According to our list of knives used in the episodes, that would be the Ranger model.

Yes. But I once insisted that in SAK's used in each episode.

And MacDriver agreed with it.

To be honest, I wanted MacGyver to use a Ranger model in final episode.

Oh yeah Makoto, that piece of detective work you did was spectacular! I will vouch that he did in fact uncover irrefutable evidence that it was a non-Swiss knife used in the final episode. It was a promotional model that had been made way back years before to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the show, dozens or more were made and distributed to the staff. Despite being given 144 knives every season by Victorinox, they still apparently decided to go with having a bunch of chinese made models printed on. Which by the way, was very ironic given that episode's theme.
Anyway, we need to update that list to say something like "5 layer chinese swiss-style knife" or something similar that is not such a mouth full If only we could ever find out why the final episode ended on such a sour Swiss note Either they did it to see if anyone would notice, one of the cast asked that their previously-obtained knife be used in actual filming for bragging rights, or Anderson himself received one along with everyone else and for some reason pocketed it despite the fact that it was not real. Even worse, he claims the one "MacGyverish item" he retains after MacGyver is the knife- Yikes! I hope he doesn't keep that thing in his pocket or glove box! There's simply no way

was it an actual 100th episode knife?

oh and here's salt in the wound...

It seems that they did actually make a real SAK with MacGyver printed on as well as the cheap ones.

I don't know whether it is an actual 100th episode knife or not.
According to the description of ebay auction;MacGyver 100th Episode Swiss Army Knife
"This is a unique piece of memoribilia, given to cast and crew on the TV show "MacGyver." It's a red swiss army style knife with lots of useful features, that says "MacGyver 100TH EPISODE" comes with box that says "BARLOW" on it."

But MacGyver 100th Episode Swiss Army Knife does not have toothpick and tweezers. I can only say that an early Chinese knockoff is very similar to the knife used in the Stringer. Brand is not clear.

Hmmm, too bad we don't have the original link. If I hadn't just stayed up all night cramming for an exam I probably just blew, I'd have the energy to search for it. But that would be a perfect match for the 100th Episode, Mc used the Climber with the reverse logo on it (only used on promotional knives- wink wink). He used the scissors to cut wire in the cave after he did that shotgun shell lead welding job. Hopefully none of the recipients got the idea that they were made for cutting wire. Even back then models with the pliers/wirecutters were offered, Deluxe Tinker, Swiss Champ, Mechanic, etc. They had boses and boxes of free swiss knives, and no one who knew anything about them

Okay, and turns out it wasn't that much work to find the thread. Unfortunately the link we had was to a ebay listing that is long expired now, but Rocky was awesome enough to get a screen shot it looks like, so here's the thread:

And here's more photos of the knife

Seriously, this will bug me til I die if I never find out what possessed them to use a junk knife to replace one of the show's icons for the finale.

There's another picture in the media center too.

If you look closely at the knife used in the Stringer you can see the tooth pick and hole where tweezers go.

I've just been going these lists looking to see what needs updating on the page, and there seems to be a fair bit on contradiction between which knives where used.

It is very difficult to find out what knives MacGyver used in each episode completely, because there are some similar knives and retired models.
We must think about the setting of the times.
That may be only a guess.

This is my photo for reference.
Swiss Army Style Knife

I think this is very similar to the knife used in "The Stringer".

Yes, I think your right.

So what brand/kind of knife is that?

i found the same one but I don't know the brand.

sak

Thats a genuine Victorinox Swiss Army Knife. It's not the same as the one in the episode, which was a fake.

I'm wondering why in the show they had fake Swiss army knifes.

as are the rest of us.

Sorry, I don't know what brand it is. I bought it in ebay auction.
It is as known as Swiss Army Style Knife (Chinese knockoff).
According to MacDriver, it is an early Chinese knockoff.

OK, I've just gone through and tried to update the list on our SAKs page

Is it getting close to being as right as we can get it?

looks good thus far.
