Just realized I never did a Hello thread...... =)
on: July 16, 2016, 05:50:00 AM
Hello folks!  My name is Chuck, and Im a SAK addict...... :twak:

I have been fascinated with SAKs since I was a kid. Ive carried one most of my life, and have used pretty much everything on one at some point or another, except for the fish scaler...... I never had the desire to clean fish stink out of a pocket knife.....LOL

My main SAK collection revolves around MacGyver. Im 5 knives away from finishing it. I try to buy period correct used knifes off ebay for this one.

Hopefully I can contribute something to the forum, Im already getting a big kick out of the merit badges.....  :cheers:

My wife thinks Im nuts, I just duct taped a broken box of cat food for a badge...... I think shes nuts for not wanting the badges for herself......  :rofl:

A Picnicker, Compact, Fisherman, and Golfer, all of them 80s versions. I can buy new compacts all day long, but finding the older ones on ebay for a decent price is a waiting game.  :D  :cheers:

Interesting..... I wonder how close that works out to a member submitted Macgyver list a few years ago?
