The knife used in jack of lies can´t be angler because it has corcscrew. You can see philips srewdriver when Mike picks it up. Knife used in to be a man ,prisoner of conscience,wish child and final approach is camper you can see camping text if you look sharp.
Very GREAT!!! I could not see it.
MacGyver used Camper model more times than I think.

Knife used in mask of wolf is old recruit economy and in bitter harvest standard model. It´s funny that in hellfire episode mac uses tinker and executive in same take when he takes nitro on blade and in early retirement when he opens srewdriver blade old recruit and super tinker without toothpick/tweezers when he uses it.

And so I have created an army of minions to do my Mac watching SAK detective work
Just kidding but great finds guys! And yeah it is funny that he switched back and forth, especially in the first season from take to take, episodes like Hellfire and Slow Death (Executive/Huntsman).

In eye of osiris mac uses spartan and in high control old sportsman or tourist,because when he opens srewdriver blade it opens without click in the middle and knife seems to be 84mm size without keyring from my view.

Knife used in ma dalton is standard, in hell week recruit economy only.(where he uses climber in this episode?) In d.o.a.:MacGyver knife looks like it could be mountaineer because the grey file blade shows when mac opens srewdriver blade to fix bike chains.(Okay thats only my view!)

Only defference between standard and spartan is that standard model does not have tweezers/toothpick and keyring. I own both knives and i have victorinox catalogs from 1989 to 1994 and these knives have been on market at the same time. Catalogs also show economy-range models that include old recruit 84mm wich is called youth and i own that too. I´ts funny that victorinox chances model names as years go by because of so little differences. I have seen youtube review video where new recruit is called driver on the box ,also climber without keyring is called traveller in 1989 catalog.

Knife used along with executive in episode slow death when mac makes dog whistle is three layer maybe camper or climber because corckscrew shows when he closes reamer. I think it´s camper because it is used in to be a man and prisoner of conscience and many times even during the second season. (i have watched dvds with pause and zoom function.)

Before 1991, the 91mm cap lifter/large screwdriver didn't have the half stop. So it could have been the 91mm rather than the 84mm, but often you can tell by the proportionate size.
And as a disclaimer, I watched the episodes on VHS when I made the original list, so sometimes a 3 layer looked like a 4 haha. I just watched Slow Death online and sure enough it is 3 layers- a Camper or a Climber- I'll let you guys duke that one out Fwiw the saw is thinner and that middle layer looks more like the width of a saw and not scissors.

I have a swiss champ wich was bought in spring of 1989 from finland (i remember it well because it was a big day for me heh!) and it has the middle stop at the screwdriver, so function to 91mm knives came earlier than 1991 when the episode high control aired first time. Good examble of this is from episode the battle of tommy giordano(first aired in 1989) when mac uses standard 91mm and opens srewdriver to connect the phone lines you see clearly and hear two clicks. And yes it is hard to say about the size of the knife 84mm or 91mm,but old version (without keyring)sportsman just fits to be used in high control afterall it was used earlier on lost love episodes. Only mac knows for sure.

UPDATE, according to the "MacGyver Expert" I just heard from, YES, it was a Hiker used in L.T.A. ALSO, (from what I was just told) through out the series he used a Hiker NOT a Super Tinker in the episodes where a Super Tinker was supposedly used.

It was some idiot on Facebook who CLAIMED to have all this information on the show and all the props and SAK's that were used, he or she referred to themselves as the "MacGyver Expert".

Not exactly an authoritative source, methinks. Does this person have a name?

If only I had the DVD's... I should start a donation fund so people can sponsor a DVD box set purchase so my expert eye can watch a hundred hours of MacGyver, then I'll report back with an accurate comprehensive list

I just watched first seasons the prodigal and target MacGyver episodes from dvd and when mac cuts federal cars water hose and gets up in prodigal he has two layer knife with corckskrew maybe 91mm victorinox standard model in his hand. And in target MacGyver he uses executive when he cuts the hollow reeds, so he uses 84mm tinker/standard in prodigal and 84mm tinker/executive in target MacGyver.
