September Treasure

[frugalscotty]

Hello All, from time to time I have posted some SAKs that I have found in the Washington State surplus property store. I have made it a habit to visit about once a week on my lunch hour as it is a reasonable drive from my office. Usually what is found is multitudes of Spartans, Tinkers, Climbers, and Sportsman. However, during this past September I had several very nice finds while sorting through the bins. All of these are in nice condition with specifics as noted.



Top to Bottom
Master Craftsman
Spartan with Victoria tang stamp and inlay sheild on solid scales. I thought Standard but there is a keyring.
84mm Salesman
84mm Golfer (in really excellent condition, tools perfect and only a little of the original shine worn off the scales)
(on left) Classic with Coach logo embossed on leather scales (very little wear on the leather)
The final three are not quite so interesting but nice nontheless
Climber w/sapphire scales
Super Tinker
Wenger Evogrip S18

The state has two suplus stores. The store I visit regularly is the smaller of the two, I have visited the other store a couple times and know that it contains a much larger quantity of confiscated knives. Unfortunately the distance is too far for me to make regular visits. I suppose my bank account appriciates this fact. 

Until next time, Scott

Nice find!

October Addendum:

My first visit of October yielded this little jewel. Victorinox Mate

I think this was overlooked because the scales were broken on both sides, but the tools are in fine shape and as you can see the scales have been replaced. Shame this is discontinued although I like the Vagabond variant a little better.

Some excellent finds there Scott.
