You know you have watched way too much MacGyver when you start thinking about how to take your Swiss Army Knife apart (And you also know that you don't have nearly as adventurous life as he does ). I have spent a long time researching and gathering tools and materials and now I have made quite a few custom Swiss Army Knives. Basically, Victorinox only offers so many configurations, and that's all there is. So, if you want something they don't make, you have to have it custom made.
Obviously there is money to be made doing this for people that have something special in mind but can't do it themselves. Just in case there is anyone on here who happens to be OCD enough about their SAK that this appeals to them I thought I would extend to the MOL community that I will perform this service on a non-profit basis. So, if you supply the parts (or reimburse me for the ones I already have) then I will put together whatever your heart desires.
Some of you know I am a little obsessed with these things, especially after I started the MacGyver SAK Chronicles. Just thought I would try to give back to the community that has given so much to me. Oh, and my email is benjaminmark at comcast dot net. I wrote it like that so spambots don't fill my inbox up like MacGyver's mailbox in the Prodigal If anyone wants to know what options there are, swissarmy.com and particularly smartknives.com are both quite helpful. I am inclined to think most basic knives could be made for $20 or less, and the most you would spend is maybe $30. It just depends on what you want. I can also fix SAK's that have broken blades, and clean/sharpen. Also I can use a SAK someone already has as a base and add functions, like a saw, scissors, file, etc. for just a few bucks. Anyway just contact me if you have any SAK needs, I would be more than happy to help you out.

That would be nice to have one custom made, but I think MacGyver's knife has his name on it just the "M" on his knife. But i have one of thoses bigger knifes with almost everything on it and i carry it every where I go.

Huh?

In which episode do we see that?

Huh?

In which episode do we see that?

Yeah, I was just gonna let that go, but most likely Beachbead owns this book, that's sold in our store no less:

So, in short, I blame you for spreading MacGyver fallacies, Rocky. j/k I don't know if you're at all familiar with Wikipedia contribution, but a long time ago I thought the knife section was too cluttered, so I submitted a request for a separate page which would be "List of Knives used by MacGyver" and apparently no one took it serious. Then some punk went in and erased all but two lines of the MacGyver's SAK's section. So I am SO glad you posted that here, Rocky Hopefully they will allow an extra page because they hacked it down to saying he simply had a Spartan, Tinker, and Executive .

No I don't own the book wish i did.
i don't remember which episode it was but i remember seeing it on his knife.

I know that this is pretty stupid question. But does anyone know where I can purchase a small SAK to carry in a purse or glove compartment? My husband has refused to give me why black one back, because he says it work well on pocketwatches.

I went to wal-mart looking for mine but MacGyver online has a store full of them.

Yeah I think you probably saw it on the book cover, because it was never shown in the show like that.

Yeah I look in on it every so often.

I wonder if that was around the time that the big discussion about removing the MacGyverisms list was going on. One of the jerks who thinks he runs Wikipedia decided that the list of problems solved by MacGyver wasn't encyclopedic and should be removed, so there was a bit of a ruckus in the discussion room about it.

Here's a List of SAKs available so you can find one that suits and if you don't want to purchase online you can at least get the name and model number so your local sports store can order it in if they don't already have it.

Thanks, I'll look into. I don't know why my husband won't give me mine back, maybe because it is too big to put in a pocketbook? Who knows?

Yeah, I believe we have the executive in the bookstore, that is my personal favorite in a small SAK.

The Rambler is slightly smaller and just as useful:

Then if you are saying you want a full size model that is slim, the Sportsman wins in that category for me:

Also, the Compact is great if you want thin and scissors:

And if we don't have it in the bookstore, this guy sells used SAK's for $6+ and they are usually in spectacular shape, and it goes to charity. If you email him with what you want he almost always has it:

i have the full sized one, the Sportmen.
