What's your latest SAK?

[Monrogue]

I received an 84mm Tinker as a gift in the 70's. I lost it a few years later but have kept some sort of SAK ever since.

 I was disappointed that the Small Tinker wasn't available in the US when I went to get a replacement. Since I had to get a larger knife, I carried a super tinker for awhile. When it broke I discovered the Scientist. It broke a back spring after a few years and Swiss Army disappointed me again when they said they didn't actually repair knives, just replaced them, so I had to settle for a Yeoman.
 I still carry the Yeoman but always wanted to replace that first Tinker. I finally found it. A pretty common knife, I know, but I'm pretty excited to find one in this condition. The auction photo was horrible but when I received the knive it was new and unused. Someone put it in a little handmade leather pouch and left it there for 35 years.

Sorry to ramble. I enjoy knowing there are other SAK geeks out there. Now I have to figure out how to take photos. I can't seem to get the exposure right on the blades.

Oh I want a Yeoman so badly.   I wish I had been introduced to SAKs when that was available.

this is the absolute lates, Wenger budget 1 07 01, interesting with this mid/late 1980s atleast this is the time period i would believe this is from, like the emblem on this, had it from before but not in original unopened package :)it got the push lock on the flat screwdriver aswell, fun knife

[Reinier]

That's a nice find in its unopened package

A voyager compact. 

[Northern Geek]

Oh.. I like that compact.. nice

[North Man]

yes, i like the Voyager Compact, lovely pictures also

[Syph007]

That started off as a Voyager lite, but the lite mechanism is going into an alox mod for a very unique combination of tools.  Still working on the alox one.

Oooh...nice one Syph

[North Man]

interesting,
Lite module in an Alox, yes may be nice

[WiSAKfan]

my alox collection just went from one to two:





older pioneer with brass liners and I believe is the brushed finished tools.

Yes if you look closely the previous owner got a little crazy with sharpening. it'll work that out and this is a user so it will be fine for the price i got it at.

I dig the original cross and the worn look of the alox already done for me.  the brass liner is cool too.

Some nice additions guys. I can't remember when I last bought one. I miss the feeling of opening a new toy.

It's only been maybe a month and a half or something like that for me, but I know what you mean.  I already have the desire for the anticipation of a new SAK coming in the mail   I do so enjoy that whole process, and then opening it and checking it out.

Thats exactly how I feel. I am enjoying the thread though.

A smooth alox silver Cadet II. It needs a thorough cleanup, but it looks like it's in very good condition!

They're becomming more and more difficult to find.  Where did you buy yours?

[borgwarrior]

A hungarian retailer, who had to order it. I think this intel won't help you much though

Nice! I had not seen that packaging before.

[North Man]

thanks

yes, interesting package, i have a few but this one have no writing or information on the backside, usually there is some info on backside regarding the Brand and product informations, so yes there are variations here

Just got a Wenger SI and a Ranger 66 in the mail

BAH!!! 

I just got a horn scaled Wenger in today, which I had led to believe had scissors (Traveller) but it doesn't! I spoke to the seller who said it's the last one ... there are no scissor models. I now need to decide whether to keep it (with a discount) or send it back for a refund

here is some info, i believe Wenger have used similar package in the 70s, these are from the 80s, mid/late,
on the smaller ones they have a sticker showing the tool functions, on the larger there are no backside info and the functions is printed on the paper, a small sticker to tell about the fl.sc driver locking....ps took the pictures at 500watts light, hopefully readable

Well, I just got offered a 50% discount if I keep it - so it looks like it's here to stay. I also received an Iron Grip and Ranger 14 in the same package and I'm now going to go pour a glass of wine and play with 'em

Oh Man... too bad ... the Horn Travelers seem hard to find.  Still sounds like you got a deal with the 50% discount.

[BradGad]

Decided to give four layers another try, this time with a TEK P-7 clip.

I had an Explorer years ago, but it was just too much for regular pocket carry.

Just picked up a Huntsman Plus from Amazon.... $29.75... and set it up with the TEK clip and a paracord lanyard with a Photon Freedom flashlight fob. So, we'll see how it goes. Maybe the clip will make four layers acceptable for EDC... If not, I'll go back to Compact|Camper+Rambler combo, and put the Huntsman in my daypack or car.

I got a helluva deal ... cheaper than I can get an Evo14 most places as is happens  .... I still wish it had scissors though

The Iron grip still isn't as slim as I'd imagined (hoped) it to be, and whilst everything on it is bloody brilliant, overall the proportions are still very ... odd! I need to ponder that one 

The Ranger 14 is excellent though. None of the ergonomics issues that are on the 130mm line (in other words I can get my hand round the bloody thing), but of course the slide lock and blade mounted at the rear means no OHO  Aside from that ... great knife and better in hand (for me) when using the saw etc than my Rangergrip 90. Those scissors are cool too
