The locksmith. Unfortunately they discontinued it
That file, though...much like the old 91mm Mountaineer I have. There seems to be less call for the metal file/ metal saw combo and any SAk that has one.

Ha! That's hilarious. Paul, you never disappoint when sharing pics of your collections or life experience. It's a shame you aren't a polygamist. I bet you'd have a sweet collection of classic and useful wives.
As for the pic posted above I own selections 1,2 and 4 down the left column from the top. Top left is my EDC for the last 15 years that I got at a Yosemite gift shop my first visit there when the kids were small. The knife (maybe a Spartan model?) from purchase/trip to current holds many memories. I lost it under a friend's car seat for an entire year and it found it's way back to me and is sitting by my wallet at this moment.
#2 is my Dad's, classic red Swiss champ that has literally been through fire and folly, is too big for EDC but still maintains it's glory in my small collection as the Patriarch. I should use and appreciate it more.
#3 for me, 4th down the left column, is my 'hiking/camping' knife. Slightly big for EDC but man do I love that knife. I'm thinking it's a Trekker model, mine is also black. Fantastic knife.
