No idea the model number. I got it after losing two leathermans and it's been a pretty good replacement. Carry it daily for work but I'm guessing the locking knife could get me in trouble

Mind you, I've carried it on planes at least 8 or 10 times in the last couple of years with no issues. I even handed it with my keys to the security guy at Bristol airport to hold while I went through the metal detector and he handed it back to me with no comment.

Finally got taken off me at Edinburgh Airport. They offered to post it back but the fee was something like £50.

Initially replaced it with this one but it was too fiddly to be practical so that in turn got replaced with a Gerber

Locking knife so technically illegal but I figure I haven't been stopped by the Dibble in nearly 60 years so it's unlikely they'll start now. Won't be taking it on planes though.

Has anyone ever used the corkscrew on a SAK for its intended purpose?

Yes, and it was my only corkscrew
till Mrs PP and I combined our kitchen stuff

Also handy for stowing the tiny screwdriver of course

Here's mine. Has everything I want. The pliers & metal file are handy as is the small sized (as well as larger) cross-head screwdriver. I like the locking blade, having still got a small scar from an earlier non-locking knife after using it on a too-big job, but that does put you in a bit of a dodgy position for regularly carrying, as I did find it a handy thing in my pocket for the office

The lock makes it a strict liability crime which, as every fan of Legally Blonde knows, the actus reus needs no mens rea for a conviction. If you get knocked down by a bus and the nurse finds it in your pocket, this will escalate to a "knife crime" with almost no defense. Expect a harsh punishment as a warning to any yoof carrying a shank.

Getting earwax out? Aye.

I have this mini one. Which goes on my bike rides with me in the bag with money, debit card, reading glasses and pain killers.

Indeed. It's absurd and to me unjust that a bit of judge made law, rather at odds with the act itself, criminalises a safety feature.

Indeed, quite a few times.

My wee collection, all been around a few years!

Who, being a criminal, will take no notice of it.

Anyway, on topic. The Victorinox Waiter that took the place of the Leatherman Mini on my keys when I retired. I found that I was only using the blade and the bottle opener after that.

I’ve got something else to post a picture of when I can remember where I put it.

Found it.
