A couple of weeks ago I got a rig in the mail from Eric at On Scene Tactical to fit my OHT. Anyone who has seen my vacation pics (see the SAKtivity Gallery) knows how much I enjoyed the neck rig I have for my regular Trekker but I always wanted one for the OHT, which I think is one of the best knives that one can carry in the woods.
Here we go with the battle for Featherweight Champion of the Keychain! In this corner, wearing green scales is the Wenger Esquire. Tonight's opponent in the opposite corner, in the red scales, defending the title of bestselling knife of all times, featured in the Museum of Modern Art, the Victorinox Classic!
Many new collectors have mistakenly ordered Yeoman models thinking they were getting a special model coveted by the masses, only to receive a readily available, current issue model. What’s the difference, and how’s a person supposed to know what they are getting?
The Original Yeoman on Top and the BSA Yeoman on the bottom
I rarely use brand new knives for Mods, but I had to do it for this one. I
ordered a pair of Cybertool 29s from Nuts4knives at the same time I got my Victorinox
Spirit (a great deal, I might add - thanks Rich).
What I was after was a SAK to that would replace the full sized screwdrivers
that I normally carry in my Laptop bag; I thought a stripped down Cybertool
might fill the bill.
I've
been making and using soda-can alcohol stoves for a number of years
now, but I've always done it at home with all the proper tools at my
disposal. Somewhere I read that it could be done in the field with only
a Swiss Army knife, so I decided to put it to the test.
The Victorinox Soldier vs. The Wenger Standard Issue
Most of us are familiar with the Victorinox
Soldier, the "real" Swiss Army knife. But how does it's lesser known cousin,
the Wenger Standard Issue, stand up to it?
November 11th is Remembrance Day in Canada, and Veteran's Day in the US, and probably a similar day all across the world. It doesn't matter what it's called, or even if the date is different elsewhere. This is a day of remembrance for those who fought and died for the freedoms that we take for granted. I wanted to say something about this, the holiest of days, at least to me, because it is something that is very close to my heart.
