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

You'll get the hang of it.

On the main site you can use the search bar at the top to search for keywords or whole sentences.

The forums search is a little more complex but the help window shows how to best use the search.
