Hmm.. http://forum.multitool.org/index.php?topic=22644.0 ;)

and I'm sure there are more! and I did try to look in the "search function" but so many threads with "sak" and "how many~!"

Benner used to "yell" at me for asking the same ole questions/threads and maybe I'm just trying to bring him out again! but thanks

What happened to Benner?
he still pops in, but he's got some 'real world' stuff to be taking care of ATM. :)
Ahh, the real world, I forgot about that place.

ok, this is why I did this "poll" to see how many the average SAK person has for a "barometer"

I have the CNC Router so I made this plaque for myself so I can have a place for my SAKs!

MOLON LABE!

I'm still in my early teens, 15 to be exact. 5 wengers, 9 victorinox and one clone. It might get more soon, I found a local vendor with most of the current line up and good prices.

Like the looks of that hanger thingy. The red, white and blue are nice too. :D

thanks all :tu: I'll take more pictures later when I get the new pins and I'll show you the logo better so you can see the 3D effect better.

also I want to do a "shelf" version (instead of hook) for MTS or keys and maybe a hole for a flashlight in it  ;)

That does look nice.

What I would have done would be to cut out the backside for that hook part way thorugh the back of your board and mount the hook on the backside facing out. That would clean it up quite a bit.

Great idea and lovely execution.  :salute:

why no more? and I'm really surprised so many have more than 50!

I knew we had a few with a "Museum" but not this many :salute:

Interesting idea Chako :tu: one small problem is those hooks holes are recessed in front (not that you could see it with it in back but the screw head would be sticking out in back, unless I really dug out a recess for it in back.

I hear that there are quite a few people out there who are happy with just the one SAK.  Some apparently don't have one at all!  Weird if you ask me. :think:

I must confess that I bought my first SAK only just last week, after buying only Leatherman-tools I started thinking about Victorinox knives, and after reading some of the SAK topics here I started thinking back to the days when I was just a boy, and how I always wanted a real Swiss Army knife back then,

I had one of the fake ones, but this was a piece of c**p (still have it somewhere in the house, along with some of my other cheap pocketknives from about 25 years ago, I should search for them so I can post some pictures from the first knives I've owned).

I should also confess that I'm already thinking about buying a second one ... (and a third ...  ::)).

Definitely!  I like those sorts of threads.

I think that I was most happy with just a few SAKs.

Then it starts to be "collecting" and I was never so happy as before I think...

I'm overwhelmed by how many of us own more than fifty,even more than 100. Serious collecting,guys!Swmbo(to borrow a term from woodworking)(She Who Must Be Obeyed) (wife) thinks I have more than enough at 27.If I could ever get her to read this thread... Congrats to all who understand ANY form of multitool well enough to have a collection,but of course,I consider the SAK as the original multitool!

Okay, time for an update, since my first SAK (the Huntsmen) I've bought a few more ...

Today I own 8 of them (and more to come ...  ;))
