"Specialty" Electrician
on:
November 16, 2010, 12:54:35 AM
Here's a little gem, and probably the rarest of all my SAKs. This one doesn't even have an official name, but I've seen it referred to as a Specialty Electrician or Special Electrician. I prefer Electinker.
This one is on the 84mm platform and all it has is a main blade, electrician's blade w/ wire scrapper, and on the backside a Phillips screwdriver. Naturally the toothpick and tweezers are present
The minimal tools make this one just one layer thick, so it's very slim.
Cool, huh?!

I bought one of those new from Radio Shack around 1995...and I've always thought of them as the "Radio Shack Electrician". I vaguely recall that they were an exclusive model to them...at least in the U.S. I do remember that they were not a cataloged model at the time.

I side with Spork
I got one from Radio Shack years ago, nice little combo.
I do believe that it is/was made for them.

That's a nice condition example
Yep a Radio Shack exclusive...
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

That's a pretty slick little SAK. Pretty well thought out for the needs of the average Radio Shack patron in the 90's.
Let us therefore open the book of Nature and read in her records.

These were one of my favorites when I first started to collect 84mm Vic's. Only the Apprentice is similar in tool selection and width.

That's a really cool SAK. Not seen one before.
I like the fact its a single layer knife. Nice and compact.

Good little SAKs these. Mine is distinctly in "used" condition but still a working tool.
Be excellent to each other and always know where your towel is.

No Vic 84mm SAK collection would be complete without one of these.

Not sure how rare they are, but I've seen these sell on eBay for $10 in mint shape with a box. I believe it was listed as an Electrician Apprentice.

I like: Craftsman Professional Market Golfer.
Covers all the bases
Definitely a cool little knife, I really like the 84mm size.
If the trees blew down the wind and no one was around, would the alphabet song really go backwards?
