Also have eight note books filled with info on SAKs. Still plenty of gaps in my knowledge however. Good stuff!!! I have learned so much since I started visiting this forum. Reading about your eight notebooks and seeing how you keep track of your large collection of SAKs, gives me and other members an insight and better understanding of someone who has a vastly more numerous collection than most of us.Thank you for sharing!

If your hobby starts to interfer with more important things

One of our members mentioned using a database (obviously to keep track of a Swiss Army Knife collection). So, I am curious about what methods others might be using to track their collections. For those with a single SAK, it can be a simple matter of transferring it back and forth from a dresser to your pocket. For those with several hundred or more, it would not be so simple.

I put a barcode and GPS transponder on each of my SAKs so I can check their status and location remotely from my iPhone at any time. A 232 page Excel spreadsheet auto-updates and alerts me whenever a variant I don't own pops up on the used market. Naturally I can track the financial value of each of my SAKs in realtime, so I know when it's time to buy or sell.If I happen to be the USA and I feel like it's a Tinker kind of day I press a button and my assistant in Berlin jumps on the next flight, bringing me my Tinker. This used to be cooler in the days of Concorde - Sometimes she'd be to-ing and fro-ing across the Atlantic like a a yoyo according to my moodswings. "Did I say Mountaineer? I'm sorry, I meant Swisschamp..." Just kiddin' - I keep them in a heap at the bottom of a drawer.
