What's your latest SAK?

A tired Champion. I thought I got a deal for $7 shipped. More problems than I noticed. Both blades toast, scissors burnt, awl burnt, can opener broken. She does have a decent scaler, file and saw. The scissors are prehook. The little screwdriver is twisted up.

It's a 1985/86 Champion, so yeah - pre hook, scissors with screw, etc. This is actually a pretty unusual model, as it has the new fine screwdriver but not the chisel. Most Champions from this time either have just the old file screwdriver or the new fine screwdriver + chisel. This is one of those weird in-between models. Does the caplifter have the half stop or not?

Yup half stop.

I feel sorry for that Champion

These are my latest. Yes the pics are crappy

That's in fact my second HP SpatuClimber

I have never seen a spatula other than the big champs.

Reinier · **Reply #4507 on:** November 02, 2012, 11:31:00 AM

Yes it's quite unusual. It appears to be a special order by HP according to this: http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,26135.msg468084.html#msg468084

After a good clean I will probably put one of my 2 HP SpatuClimbers on EDC Source.

Probably screwed up the procurement order. Would sound about right!

Victorinox Limited Edition Damascus Soldier 2012

Originally wasn't planning to get it, but found one at a price that was Merely Ridiculous rather than Totally Insane. Suspect some more of those may be showing up in the near future, with dealers not wanting to be stuck with some very expensive inventory.

'Analytical' says it. Chemistry labs use small spatulas for measuring out small amounts for weighing and analysis. Though on a rather large pocket knife it may be a bit awkward to use.

Shoot me some pictures of the one you want to get rid of. I have a bunch of good stuff for trade you might be interested in. I'll send you a PM.

I really need to get an old red cross pioneer or farmer. Its just that people are crazy on prices on ebay for these older ones.

Yes indeed the prices for these gems are way too high on ebay.

I sold most of my old cross red aloxs exept from two, that i will not sell them.
The one is a Midshipman with a marlinspike and the other is a Pioneer Harvester.
Both of them have a date in the main blade.

Still, if you can wait, you can send it to Ibach and they will make it brand new.
Just tell them that you don't want to change any of the tools that isn't broken.

Indeed!

I really like the old style awls, they look a lot better than the newer versions.

I love these Spartans with the old awl.

I have a newer Spartan with the same logo.
