84mm SAK with phillips

[Benner]

Is there an 84mm SAK that has a phillips which is hinged at one end like the swisschamp, rather than centre mounted?

Can't seem to find one??

I don't think so, but you could get one of the expert's to make you one...

Tell me about it

not for nothing we called rip off britain

Still there's always felinevet, so it's not all bad

[Benner]

I know, felinevet was awesome!

Did me a great deal on my swisschamp, was really impressed.

Do you get most of yours from him?  Haven't found anywhere good in the UK have you?

Tim would be my first choice, but if you need it quick (literally next day) try www.heinnie.com
or http://www.swissknifeshop.co.uk/

But obviously you'll have to pay more

But yeah I have got a lot of stuff from tim, just not anything recently sadly

[Benner]

Hadn't heard of www.heinnie.com. I will have a look at that.

Well I had no intentions of getting anything till I came on here.  Now I wan't a powerlock and and 84mm SAK with the phillips.    Thats if I can find one.

Like I said I'm pretty certain there are no production84mm with a phillips but it might pay you to just get a quote from one of the modder's on sosal just to get a feel for the prices involved

plus xmas is comming up so get your relative's to treat you ;D

Bet it aint cheap though.

If I had the skills and the tools I would like to do it myself.

Well I've never done it but it look's fairly easy (which mean's it'll be anything but ) there are a few tutorials over on sosakonline...

Yeah I did see them, and like you say it looks simple enough.  Just isn't going to be though is it.

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

nope ;D

The thing abotu SAKs is you can never say "They've never done that" because sooner or later, a special, limited or unsuccessful run that you weren't aware of will show up.  They never made an 84mm Super Tinker... but I have one.  They never made an 84mm Compact, but I have two.  They never made SAKs with fluffy scales, but I have several of those as well!

Victorinox and Wenger have such a varied history with so many different models and configurations that I doubt even the Elseners themselves know all of the variations that were available.

I have never seen an 84mm SAK with the in body phillips, but if it's one thing I know for sure, it's that I am not saying it doesn't exist!  I will however state that if that's what you want, then you should try to find a model with a magnifying glass since the phillips is (usually) only paired with it and an LED light.  I doubt you will find any vintage SAKs with LEDs!

You could however stop looking at vintage models and check out something like the Wenger S557:

http://www.wengerna.com/browse/product.jsp?prod_id=11004&cat_id=1&cat_name=Knives&sub_cat_id=84

It is 85mm and has (among other things) the in body phillips.

I don't know why but Wenger just doesn't do it for me like Victorinox.  No reason behind it at all!

Would like to get an old Victorinox as what I have is current issue and it would be nice to have something a little harder to come by.

Will have to keep my eyes open to see if anyone ever sells a custom one, or if an original ever turns up!

[Grant Lamontagne]

You don't know what you are missing without Wengers.  I'd suggest looking up a current model and getting one- the sooner you do it, the less you'll have to kick yourself for waiting!

[Benner]

I know, I am sure I am missing out.

I actually have a Wenger watch which I've had for a while now, so I think I just associate the name with that.  Incorrectly of course!

I agree.  The Wengers are very nice.  Plus Felinevet carries them so there's really no excuse not to have several.  Well, unless you need the money to eat or something.
