Hi everyone. New to this site. Bought a SAK waiter last year to see what all the fuss about SAK's and now I am a totally dedicated fan,so bought a huntsman which I absolutely love and just added a farmer to my collection the other day find it a bit tough to get the tools out since I'm into a bit of self cannabilisation of the finger nails so had to add a penny with a drilled out hole 😂

Welcome John!

I used to bite my nails terribly. Then a couple of years ago I stopped - I have no idea what changed but I found myself having to cut my nails for the first time in my life - weird huh?

Anyhoo, look on the bright side John - at least you won't need to shell out for one of these :D
