How Do You Store Your SAKs?
on: February 20, 2015, 01:55:51 PM
I imagine all of us here have more SAKs than we can carry in a day, or even rotate. How do you store yours?
This is gonna hurt...

I keep them in a drawer and some of them a Skinth CatchAll (users) around.
Now I got an idea. I'm going to use the Skinth for all the users I would like with me during longer trips, vacations and chores in our summerhouse or my daughter's house. They will be stored but still ready to go.
I hope Chako would show us pics of every single drawer this time, not just one representative.

An old machinist's toolbox:

Separate drawers for SAKs, multis, lights/chargers/batteries, cables, keyring bits, pens and pads.

I'm sure you've shared before, but I'm sure you don't mind more compliments. That box is awesome, it looks perfectly aged and yet in great shape.

 :salute:  Some of the drawers are a bit sticky but it's got lots of character, and my wife doesn't mind it being in the house - I'm not so sure a red metal toolbox would go down as well.

Very sexy.
Try plain soap on the drawers as a lubricant.

Great way to store your goodies Hiraethus.

I have mine in a knife case and the ones I regularly are on my desk top.

It ain't much but most of my sak and other stuff sit in my homemade :think: case, tray? I made it like 8yrs ago but for my cellphone, flashlight battery charger, and other junk, theirs a power strip underneath everything and you would just place all the chargers under and just run a cord up.. But I thought it was better to put all my goodies on

Why? Don't they have KY, Duo, Durex and stuff on the island?
My grandmother's furnitures were oak made and really stiff, particularly when they were loaded with heavy stuff. She used Savon de Marseilles every now and then and it worked, without staining the linen like fluid or semifluid lubricants would. And it smells nice. May I suggest Le Petit Marseillais or Savon Le Chat?

I'm quite envious of you lot
I remember back when my collection fitted quite neatly in a Halfords 4 drawer toolchest.

Today the Wenger's themselves would probably fill up a half a dozen halfords toolchests, then there's Victorinox.... then Gerber....then SOG....then Leatherman plus several boxes containing all the old stuff like Schrade, Buck etc etc  :facepalm:

I've decided this year I'm going to partition off  a section in the loft and the whole collection along with all the other "Toys" I've acquired will be moved out of my daily living space.

I can't wait.

Tackle box for mine. It seems to work well enough.

I want one of those machinist's tool chests though.

I use a variety of plastic trays, most commonly the Infinite Divider boxes from the Container Store (very flexible)(bottom photo). Most of the trays are lined with felt. All have a  paper with boxes showing what's in each compartment

A humble wooden box (about 20x15x15cm or 8x6x6in); but it can't handle the size of the collection (I blame this forum :P) so I'm on the lookout for something bigger... watching this thread with curiosity! :)

I find SAKs are Divicult to Colleckt: when i loock at my Swisschamp XLT at the toolside, i only see a big steel landscape which dosnt look interesting, at Scale Side you see this beaty red transparent scales whit the Swisscross, but it just looks like a normal little SAK..
You have also to put it quer so you see both the Scaleside and the Toolside..
Or present it whit open Tools..
Got me a little but bloody stratch in the Finger when i shoot the Photo in the Past whit all Tools Open (dam Eletrician Blade) so this isnt a good solution..
But as i m no collektor but a user, i ditnt have this Problems whit the champ, only whit the other SAK i also have..
There are something like 5 SAKs i own, which is nt that much..
Your SAK is only fully yours, when it bites you, or you opend a Trink of your joice whit it
SAKs i have: Huntsman Light (Red Transparent), Workchamp (Black), Wenger EvoGrip S557 (Red), Swisschamp XLT (Red Transparent)..
