Fascinating stuff, Scorpion Regent. That certainly looks practical enough and as you say, the locking mechanism is definitely a plus.

I love SAK's but hate when the tools move around when i am working with them. If they locked into place, it would help doing the job a lot easier.

Here's my everyday carry for years now. Yes, it was inspired my MacGyver. I carry two SAKs because of the old survival motto: "Two is one, one is none."

I have been carrying a Sportsman with eyeglass screwdriver and straight pin additions as my EDC. I have a Rambler on my keychain also. This is a great article and I really enjoy hearing from other fans as to what their EDCs are. Joe Thoms

Sportsman is an awesome 84mm. Kind of a more pocket friendly Spartan biggrin.gif

Lightweight is definitely the best way to go. Not daily, but i do occasionally carry my Spartan.

My everyday carry. The watch changes (I'm a watch nerd)...but that's about it.

FYI...I have had that watch band since 1997...it has outlasted quite a few watches and has been to test depth on a submarine more times than I can count...LOL

I spent 11 years in the Girl Scouts. Long about high school (in the late 60's) I took to carrying my GS pocket knife around with me all the time. I saw it as a handy tool kit, and back then, no one was freaked about about bringing a pocket knife to school. I graduated out of GS and went to college, and I got tired of carrying a purse around with me. So the GS pocket knife rode around in my pants pocket. I discovered the Swiss Army Knives when I started watching MacGyver, and the CS knife got retired to my dresser drawer. I like the can opener on the GS knife better, but the SWK has better steel and the blades hold an edge better. I don't carry a lot of tools in my pockets; they don't seem to make women's jeans with decent pockets. Also, my cell phone takes up a lot of space, and I'm talking an old cell phone, not a smart phone. But I don't need much more that the knife. With that, I can MAKE the tools I need . sakopen.gif
