How Many SAKs Do You Have?
on: March 28, 2011, 06:22:04 PM
I'm doing a project and I was wondering how many SAKs the average MT-er, tool luvr has, including Wengers, and clones, any size, any condition.

I have about 21 and I think it's around average but I'm not sure~!

So I thought I'd ask you ;)

thanks for your help :tu:

Victorinox:
Deluxe Tinker

Alox Rambler
Tourist
74mm stainless money clip

Wenger:
Traveller (Serrated)
Motorist
Mini Grip (Serrated)
Swiss Grip

SAKalike:
Laguiole Le'Clair Rosewood

So less than you ... but more than I realised  :D

And how many of those did you have before joining Multitool.org?  :D

Of course, I buried the needle on this poll with just the SAKs on my desk.....   ::)  I think I'm somewhere in the neighborhood of 400-500?

I actually counted my ALOX today for something else, and I'm sitting at only about 72...
