   My goal was a folding wood or metal saw with the thin handle of the K55K   
   knife. Having a bolted instead of pivoting blade allows substituting a steel   
   cutting jigsaw blade. You're unlikely to need a saw as quickly available as   
   a knife.

   When I was designing a custom integrated circuit at the VLSI facility the   
   workstation went down. The repairman brought a replacement power supply that   
   wouldn't fit because its frame was too wide, and I trimmed it narrow enough   
   with the home-made saw/knife. I used the saw to cut and notch sticks to make   
   a crutch after twisting my ankle on a mountain hike. It's solved two   
   problems, one very high tech and one very low.   
      
   The hike was a Mensa event. The person who knew the location of the nearest   
   hospital and drove me there was the head of Emergency Services at a major   
   Boston MA hospital, but not licensed in NH. He didn't want to be associated   
   with my primitive crutch, however the doc who saw me camped in northern   
   Canada and appreciated it.
