Economy/Ecoline Owners Club: Show us yours!

[m47mu74nt]

I'm pretty sure you have more Ecoline babies in your pocket/self/box/whatever

here are mine:



2x Waiter (2.3303), one is in the box
1x Huntsman (3.3713)
and ... one Sentry that is now converted to Ti

[captain spaulding]

All I have is a Huntsman Eco. No pic though. 

[K9medic]

I have a Spartan with Economy scales, does the 108mm Solo nylon scales count ?

[SAK Guy]

I'll have to look around....

[gene stoner]

The only one I have is this Econoline cellider Spartan.

[m47mu74nt]

Ecoline and cellidor, How could it be?

[Humppa]

Here are my Ecolines. I love 'em. From to bottom we have here:

1. Vic Sportsman (almost 15 years old and oddly brighter than the other two)
2. Vic Huntsman
3. Vic Recruit

[Thunderpants]

What's the story behind the Economy line? Were they an attempt to make cheap SAKS even cheaper?
I hardly ever saw any of these for sale, and when I did the price difference was negligible. Are they still in production?

[nmpops]

I prefer the ECO line but they are hard to find. I have an Eco-Tinker I bought about 10 years ago but since then I have made my own by putting nylon scales on 2 Climbers (black & red), a Hiker, 2 Spartans (black & red), a small Tinker (blue nylon) and a Tourist.   

[firiki]

I much prefer nylon scales to cellidor ones. I've put some on my EDC Vic Handyman and the 91mm Ranger I use around the house. In these pics there's also a Climber. I have a couple of Huntsman and Recruit models stashed away as well, I couldn't get pics of those.



It's amazing how the shield on the Ranger can still be seen clearly under a certain angle! Normally it doesn't show anymore, so much it has worn off.

Ecoline and cellidor, How could it be?

Yes, there are cellidor scales in the older (first?) economy series. No toothpick/tweezers slots and hot stamped shields of the federal shape.

Love ecoline scales. I have nylon scales on 2 huntsmen, 2 Spartans, 2 campers, and a sportsman.

look under identifires.
It's not Econoline but economy so I guess it don't really count.

Main purpose was to make people show their nylon scaled SAKs, but ... my title say "Economy/Ecoline", so it sure counts!! 

And my title quite excludes the nylon scaled advertising SAKs...  though i'd like to see again a black nylon H&K branded SAK that i didn't bought at flea market years ago   

[Sazabi]

I still kinda regret not getting any of those Malaysian army knives, the black eco Bantams, back when they were like $10.

I have one of these, an Economy version of the Huntsman from 1984, still the SAK I reach for first. After 32 years, I thought it deserved an upgrade, and picked up a mini screwdriver for the corkscrew. Apart from the scales, everything else is like a standard Huntsman (this one pre-dates the back layer hook).

[Corwyn]

Here are mine:

• Tourist
• Recruit
• Camper
• Elinox Excelsior

[sak60]

These are mine. The left one has had a new scale put on but is an economy. 2x climbers,a spartan and 2x campers.

[SAK Guy]

Still on my "to do" list.....


Great knives guys!!!

[SAK Guy]

Couple of recent ones....

Climber


Beer Waiter   Bantam

[PTRSAK]

Probably have some others that qualify, but this is my one ECONOMY stamped SAK.

Economy Climber.   Nearly gutted it for the scissors but realised in time that the ECONOMY tang stamp was quite short lived and in the hundreds of SAKs that have passed through my hands (that's what she said) I've only ever seen this example.

Not ecos, but how about these?

I didn't realize that!     Thanks! 
I think I have one somewhere....did they do the std models with that stamp? I think I have a Standard/Spartan with it.

[ColoSwiss]

The top shot is of old celidor Ecos, all 84mms and all without t&t.

The bottom shot is a mix of 84mm and 91mm Ecos with nylon scales. All have t&t. The Spartan is actually a Weekender with serrated blade.

The one I missed was like your 91mm, but with nylon scales
(But that day I bought my 03 soldier and Beijing Climber instead)

Some very nice acquisitions.   

[SAK Guy]

Didn't find my "Economy" stamped model but did find my Sportsman II.

[SAK Guy]

Looking through the pile of unwashed masses (of SAKs), I found an old Economy cellidor scaled Huntsman.

[Singh]

I'm not sure if this counts, but I slapped some nylon scales on a Deluxe Climber mod:
