S.A.K Farmer Review

[Chiral]

SAK farmer.....a classic. Cannot go wrong with one. Great review!

[Mojoe]

Excellent review Joe! I love my Farmer!

The blade length is 2.75" and does not lock. Total closed length of the tool is 3-3/8" (91mm). Reference:

Typical. EDC knives has to be below 7 cm and not lock in Denmark. Unless they're used for an "acceptable" task, which of course lies at the LEO's discretion. But generally, fixed blade knives larger pocket knives, and locking knives, are allowed if you're going fishing, hiking, hunting, diving, or working where you need it, and you transport it -directly- from the place you used it, to you home.

Not sure I will buy a farmer, just for woods use, but I'm tempted!

I carry my Farmer everyday. I was close to getting the U.S. knife, but find the saw very useful.

Nice tuque and shades, eh.
Dig the knife and review too. Nice job, joruff.

Thanks for the review Joe, we're going to have to get together for a beer sometime - I'm buying.

The best thing about my Farmer is the a SUPER COOL FRIEND gifted it to me!!

I second that, my 13yr old son gave me one for Christmas. For some reason I find it easier to use the back of the saw to strike the ferro rod.

I've been looking at the SAK's for EDC, since I find my leatherman a bit too heavy and bulky, at times, and really like the farmer. In Denmark we have some pretty tough restrictions on knifes (especially when carrying them in the city) how long is the blade, and does it lock?

Thank you.

blade does not lock, and I doubt it is larger than 3 inches.

Haha.. Seems I misread what Roamer said. Thought the full length of the farmer, was the blade legth.. GREAT!

Now I just need to locate a store nearby that sells them.

I love mine go it new for $20. Carry it everyday, and feel lost without one.
