I hope you can take the time to see my pages and to read about the knives with functions. I have talked about the wood saw that it is a multifunction tool that can be used for very many tasks.
It is useful to cut thick rope or wood. It can be used for hunting and dressing of animals. Most of all I would say that the small woods saw is the one function that makes this little 85mm knife a competitor against large fixed blade knives. The reason for
this is the ability to cut a thick branch even faster than a large fixed blade knife and with precision. One should never under estimate the functionality of a Victorinox 91mm and a Wenger 85mm category. There are people in the world that would surprise on
just how useful they are.
Scissors update
The scissors is also a multifunction tool that can be used for very many tasks. Personal hygiene includes the possibility to cut fingernails. It is very uncomfortable if there is a problem with a fingernail in the field. It is not easy to use the
knife blade for that. In different first aid kits there are to be found a scissors often. That is a very helpful tool for first aid and especially the precision cut of the bandage or adhesive. In a first aid kit a scissor may be very valuable to have. It is
also easier to precision cut plastic bags or a tarpaulin. It can be used to make things.
Update
For
sure the toenails are very important when outdoors. The SAK scissors can be used for this too because I have tested this before. There is of course a limit.
When outdoors there is not many
things that can be more irritating and uncomfortable than a damaged toenail.
The serrated scissors by Wenger got some advantages and disadvantages. The nail file function
with tip is of valuable help in combination with a scissor.
Internet update
In my milestones in Norwegian writing i have put in some factors and development in history. There are some special camping and outdoors waves that got influence on the development on knives.
The famous Backpacker magazine is well known among SAK people.
I recommend taking a tour on Google books and to see the articles and advertisings
on knives and development. You can get much help from such research! It is possible to use this and compare with knives you got. It is sad that most of the scanned Google newspapers are no longer active because this was a huge help. Some newspapers can still
be found but one needs further work or cost to use databases. Just imagine the help it is to have magazines, newspapers, knives and information from the factories. If you also find knife catalogues then it is possible to use advanced research. The you can
use patent databases and then i would believe that people understand what internet has become. It will however require an analytic mindset. Researching Wenger knives is the most difficult and just “imagine” that sometimes it is used knives on the
pictures that does not have the latest modifications at the time. There are a number of factors that you will need to have in mind. The internet can be a very valuable tool for a SAK enthusiast.
The scanned newspapers got much complaint from Companies and other people that the scanned newspaper database produced many problems because of all the information that suddenly was available to the public. There are also other theories
on the internet and by people on why the database was stopped. I am sure it got nothing to do with SAKs.
It is also important that the information still available on the internet
if it is books, magazines or other media that it is respectfully used. It can be a great help and a valuable tool to have. For an analyst I would believe internet to be an incredible source.
Restrictions update
Restrictions of information
It is obvious on the internet and in the world that because of all the information on the internet some restrictions arrive. It is a bit sad because the number of patents available to the normal public is limited. Why? I can only
see positive factors with a huge information flow.
I see myself as lucky to be one of the people that learned a great deal from scanned newspapers and patent databases more early. I realized
the incredible help this had very early.
For sure I can understand that it can cause complications for different laws and regulations for a Company. Still there is a good deal of information
to be found. It was a milestone in internet history when the scanned newspapers was launched and the “oh shit” factor must have shocked the world.
I have noticed the restrictions
of information during the last years and I do believe it is sad.
