vsakcs, has it disappeared
on: February 08, 2012, 11:08:47 AM
What has happened to VSAKCS the website is no longer available, all I saw was the following
"NOTICE: This domain name expired on 01/30/2012 and is pending renewal or deletion"
"One SAK is all right. Two are too many, and three are not enough"

Dan has retired as of last summer.  I'd had an article ready for Sosakonline ready to go but the software there crashed around the same time.

Too bad. His "Monster 58" was the inspiration for a SAK I just made.

Anyone know Dan's contact info? I'd love to get his Monster 58 photos and post them somewhere.

The Monster-58 was not Dan's mod, it belongs to another member.

What do you think about ?

Haven't heard anything about a 2011 VSAKCS knife until your mention of it.

Hah, I just bought a SwissTool BO, (his last one) from the Freeport Knife Company.  I did not know the man's name who waited on me until I read your post.  He was extremely knowledgeable. It had to be Doug Dillman.

I asked Dan (former president VSAKCS) and he told me it's a real offer.
All VSAKCS members will receive this offer sooner or later.
The knife is a 91mm "Waiter" ... called workman...
stay tuned  ;)

Yes, a 91mm Waiter with a Phillips if I remember correctly. So that's the twist ;)

Oops, didn't see this until I posted my other thread. Mods, go ahead delete my original thread if you want. Sorry.

I like the new knife idea - great way to start out.

I agree with your other post, I like that they ordered a unique model and the low price actually surprised me.

If I wanted to join this club how would I ?
Assuming you still take new members or if you the club still running I would be quite interested.

I'm not sure it even exists anymore.  Doug Dillman at Freeport Knives in Maine was doing the club knives but beyond that I don't know.
