Recently discontinued SAKs?
on: March 08, 2012, 04:42:44 PM
I would like to know if there is a list of recent discontinued SAKs somewhere, those that are still easy to find... I think it would be nice to have such a list to help new collectors like me starting their collection on low budget but still be sure of having something of ''sure value'' and of increasing interest in the SAK community.

Thanks

84mm Bantam, a good chunk of the 93mm Pioneer series, OH Parachutist (though still found various places), BO Spirit, and probably others; these have been discontinued within the past year, though the My First Victorinox Plus is also hard to find now, having been discontinued... two? years ago.

And a couple OH Parachutists that I have, too, if you go that route, Reinier.  :D

Seriously, though, despite OH Parachutists having been discontinued a couple(?) years ago, they pop up from time to time.  Plus, old hardware stores can sometimes house gold; too bad they want MSRP, though.  ::)

How about the wooden handled Wengers?
I remember someone saying they will be discontinued; Shall I get some now that they are available?

I hope they aren't discontinued, but on the other hand, I can't understand the increased cost of them over their cellidor models.  Now if you're taking about the EKA-scaled Wengers, yes, not only are they pretty, but they've been discontinued for a couple years now. :/

Down at the Wenger store they told me the Wenger Standard Issue is going to be discontinued. So if you want one better grab it now.

Thanks for all the replies and please keep adding to the list.

Wenger SI and Alox Bantam are certainly futur ''classics'' that I would like to get....
What about Cellidor models?

The OH Parachutist are also named OH Rescuers and I have a number of them in the EDC store.

For a reason or another, I am not a big fan of the 111mm series...
I already have a 09 Soldier/OH Rescue tool/Dual ProX/OH Trecker and am thinking about trading those last three ones for 84mm/91mm/93mm models.
