What's your latest SAK?

I picked up a Trail Guide on fleabay this morning, and the pics from the auction are below. Take a close look at the tweezer. It's metal tipped, but it looks like it's designed for a back side scale.

That's interesting. I don't think I have ever seen that before.

Me either. I'm thinking it isn't a Victorinox tweezer, but I have no idea what it's from.

My latest are these 74mm's (pic by seller):

Very happy with the cheesy Executive which I had been looking for for quite a while. The black one (an Ambassador, alumin(i)um-tipped tweezers) has no shield which is nice. The red Executive needs new scales.

So they are staing in the family, even though I did not win them.

Sorry mate, so we were bidding against each other again. Just like on that orange pinstripe SAK

Is the main draw toward funky scale colors and patterns a collector thing? I'm more of a user preferring the standard cellidor or nylon scales, though if I found a really unique/cool scale pattern, I'd go for it.

What are some of the more interesting scale patterns/colors folks have seen?

Reinier · **Reply #9936 on:** February 07, 2014, 08:00:17 PM

As a collector: yes, I am always looking for uncommon scale materials and colors. I am trying to get as many different ones as possible.
As a user I prefer black cellidor

It´s no problem to lose against you, the only downside is that we pushed up the price.

So it's good I didn't join the bidding then.

I had it in my watch list.

but the SAK has a hook, do you think someone just used an old tweezer?

Nope, I think NutSAK is right in the assumption that these tweezers cam from a non Vic SAK.

A version of this with the new style file would be quite tempting.

I suppose so, considering I was tempted enough to buy it with the old one!

I was at Walmart earlier, and they had Super Tinkers with a small belt sheath for $25. I'd sent my ST to a member here a while ago, and to be honest I missed it. So, one came home with me.

Sweet! Which sheath did it come with?

This one. For $25, the knife and the sheath is a great deal, even though I'll probably never use the sheath. A three layer 91mm just disappears in the pocket IMO, no need for a sheath.....

captain spaulding · **Reply #9947 on:** February 08, 2014, 12:43:22 AM

Thats what I expected. There not bad sheaths just no need for them with that knife.

SAKMikey · **Reply #9948 on:** February 08, 2014, 12:51:34 AM

Just picked up a Super Tinker myself. Always wanted one. My first non-Alox SAK in a very, very long time.

Finally figured out a way of getting "stone" into the recruit parade. This material is ground up stone in resin and not too hard to work, but it looks the goods and is quite a bit heavier than the straight resin.
