2012 is going to be a SAK year,for me .
on: January 06, 2012, 10:55:28 AM
Recently ive been getting a little bored of my stuff and started to lose interest, money sadly is a big part with my collecting so i have to get stuff ill use or it gets moved on, ive still got my LM's and love them but although my opie #4-8 are my users ive sold on all my other opinels as just hanging around, i decided to pick up a few things ive wanted to try for a while, did this, and due to jerseydevils christmas pool pressie im back on the SAK Boat, ive always liked SAK's and carried a climber for many years but due to me liking plier based MT's i drifted away from them, well ive decided to carry a basic pliers based tool in my backpack for plier needs and pocket carry a SAK again, i also got a huntsman from AHB (alan) yesterday so that is also in my backpack, there is a few more im going to get but hopefully get use out of them, im just trying to get my MT taste buds back  ;) so im hopeing to be spending plenty of time in this section  :salute:

The huntsman is a great knife, for me it has the perfect balance between size and functionality; it's not too big and I've used every one of the tools  :tu:

Climber is also very good if you don't need the saw. For a long time the climber was my normal EDC and the huntsman came with me camping.

 :tu: I feel like this about the tinker, i can live without scissors as i carry a classic on my keychain and i dont need a saw in normal life  :D plus light in the pocket, the huntman has gone in my pouch in my backpack as there if i need it plus comes with my when MTB'ing or on long walks, i always fint there is something you need but so far the huntsman seem to have pretty much all i need, did i just say that  :rofl:  ;)

The Only Thing I Wish The Huntsman Had Was A Phillips Screw Driver. If It Had A Phillips It Would Absolutely Be Just Off The Charts Amazing.

And No Problem Zed, I Love To Trade So If You Ever Have Anything Else To Trade And Would Like To See What All I Have We Can Do That.  :tu: I Love My SAK's But Find The Only A Few Really Get Carried. But This Huntsman Is About To Be My Faithful Side Kick For A Little While Until I Get My Custom Which Is Gonna Be Amazing Lol. Really Excited For It.

Thanks Again TattooSteve.  :tu:

A hunstman with a philips is a fieldmaster I believe. I always seem to miss them when they occasionally pop up used for sale.

I also edc @ the weekend a climber but in the week its a super tinker - climber with a philips instead of a corkscrew.

Yes a fieldmaster is a huntsman with a phillips and no corkscrew. I prefer it over the huntsman actually for that very reason. :tu:

The Explorer is my all time favourite SAK, I've been carrying one for over 20 years on and off, always come back to it. Really hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine.

hay zed. i think ill be doing the same this year and getting more SAK's. partly because i dont think this will be a great year for money because im paying for my partner to get back to college. SAK's are cheaper than leathermans so i think its time to work on my SAK collection. also though ive recently got a taste for them and just want more  :D

i would like to learn a bit about file work this year and do some custom SAK blade spines. ive ordered my files and got some scrap so i cant wait to get going.

so far i own a tinker, camper, alox pioneer (red), alox electrician (silver), a clasic(black) and a solo (red)

the ones i want to add to my collection are a tinker deluxe, tinker plus, explorer, hiker, handyman and maybe a cyber tool one day.

i was looking for a online shop that has a good variation of colours and came across http://www.swisstool.co.uk/st/home.php.
if you havent already seen there selection its well worth having a look at. they have a far better selection that say amazon.

let me know how the explorer goes because i think ill get that next as well.  :tu:

p.s. nice pics mate

Glad to see that my gift has had the proper effect Paul  >:D:D. Mr Elsener, send my royalty check to....... :P  This year is definitely going to be a SAK for me as well, I neglected that part of the collection for a while, but it's coming back with a vengeance. It's only the 6th but between trading with Bladechick and a couple of purchases, I have FOUR new (to me) SAKs either on hand or on the way since the 1st! And another thing...I've discovered Wengers  :o. I'd gotten an Evogrip S18 on Sunday, and today came across an Evowood 18. Walnut scales! Too pretty to pass up, it came home with me. Pics when I get a chance.....
There's no such thing as "Too pretty to carry".  There's only "Too pretty NOT to carry"...... >:D

SAK's Are Wonderful I Just Happen To Have Got Too Many So I'm Passing Them On By Trading Them.  :tu: I'm Glad I Can Help You Guys Out. If You Ever Have Anything Else You Need Just Let Me Know And I'll See What I Can Do.
And 5hif7y You Have To Get An Explorer. I Actually Plan To Possibly Get Another One, But I'm Not Sure I'll Need It After TattooSteve Has Hooked Me Up With A Custom.  :tu:

I replaced my LM Micra with a Victorinox Manager, on my main keychain. Lets see how it works out, especially with respect to using the victorinox screwdrivers.

You can also try edcsource, as they carry a good catalog at cool prices. For stuff coming from USA there's always the risk of a custom stoppage which will boom prices up. Other options are some german online sellers which carry small catalogs but at good prices. Ex: http://www.smdv.de/categories/496_509/OnTour/Taschenmesser-Multiwerkzeuge.html
You get there a handyman for £24.6 or a huntsman for £13, for example.
