I would say a Tinker or a Spartan.

Both quite similar with the Spartan being longer. The Tinker is a smaller knife so fits in the pocket better and has a good sized Philips screw driver blade where the corkscrew normally is.

You can go to our Store and see the SAKs. Click on them to get a closer look and see what functions they have.

I actually find the Tinker to be my most useful SAK because it has a good sized full Philips (cross head) screw driver which allows you to put a decent amount of pressure and torque into winding or unwinding screws.

I guess it's named after people who like to tinker around doing stuff and I find it is quite useful for that very purpose.

I ordered my SAK last night. I got a Victorinox Swiss Army Climber Road Tour SoftGrip. I had my name engraved on it. I have to wait til mid September to get it though :/

I copied and pasted the name of it

I bet I am the only person who is staying up all night just to watch MacGyver. I'm watching my 4th episode now

No I mean why so long to wait for the knife to arrive. You can by them from most hardware stores, probably get the engraving done at a local engravers

My mum wanted my to get that one and they were out of stock :/ I want that thing so bad, and if you seen our local hardware stores you'd know why I'd rather wait

Maybe you should have brought from our store, they ship pretty quickly within the US.

I had to get the one I bought because mum told me to. She wanted me to get a customized SAK

Hey rocky, they make both an 84mm and a 91mm Tinker. Personally I rather like the 84mm for some inexplicable reason, but there is a 91mm version that is the more popular one (by sales) anyway. These knives are the same toolset, just different size:

Spartan 91mm/Tourist 84mm

Tinker 91mm/Tinker Small 84mm
