McGyver and Spyderco
I know Mac always preferred Swiss Army Knives, but, if he carried a Spyderco in addition to a SAK, which would you say he would go for?
I don't think he'd go for the more combat-oriented ones like the military, or the Endura even, would it be more like the Manix, or what do you think, based on his personality on the show and his uses.

SpyderWrench, any version made in USA or China...
I was checking mine over last night, ( the First Gen) and apart from the weight ( which nothing can be done about ) it would be just fine for Mac...

Duh... a Honeybee. From the Honeybee he would use a gum wrapper, 5 1/8 inches of used kite string, a half eaten tin of mustard sardines, & a 1943 Buffalo nickle to fashion an electronic scrambling device to disable the bad guy's death ray aimed at the Washington monument.
What is truth? Pontius Pilate

It wouldn't matter what model he had. I've seen him completly destroy the bad man with 12 volts from a car battery. He got out from under a snow avalanche with his ski pole. For this episode he had a couple of feet of space to work in after an entire mountain of snow landed on top of him. :) Story after story of him using a plastic spoon to dig through the rockies. So I suppose a Ladybug (or a bug :) ) is all McGuyver would need. :) He was truly th man's man. :rolleyes: :D

His most commonly used knife was a "Tinker" model from Victorinox. But throughout the show he used several different models of both Victorinox and Wenger brands to match particular tools used in the episodes.
In one episode he uses an Orange Peeler blade; probably from a Victorinox "Executive." He may have used an older model "Explorer" from Victorinox later in the series. He also used the Sportsman in "Lost Love pt. 1 and 2", the Recruit in "GX-1", and the Climber in "Three for the Road." In "Tough Boys" he uses a Tinker (with the key ring removed) to unlock a large padlock.
He also had a couple of non-production models that were obviously modified for the series.
In "Serenity," he has a knife with wood panels to stay in setting with the period of the episode.
In "Strictly Business" he used a knife with the Victorinox shield on the back handle of the knife instead of the front.
The knife seen in the opening of each episode is a Wenger, as noted by its long keychain
