I thought it was a Tinker, Guess not
on: September 04, 2013, 04:30:58 PM
so I few weeks ago I bought a nice Vic SAK at a flea Market.

I thought it was a tinker.  :facepalm:  WRONG!

I am just getting started collecting SAKs, so the tool layout was correct for a Tinker, except for one minor difference.  The Blade was 60% Serrated.

I Guess that makes it a McKinley.

a Camo McKinley

This looks like a rare model. Be happy you're wrong!

Does anyone know when the McKinley was sold?  Or even a ballpark range?

Well, it's not unobtainable, but the chance of that showing up in your hand by accident means you should be out buying lottery tickets today.

First, I have no intentions of selling this. 

out of curiosity, can anyone put a ballpark price or price range on this McKinley with Camo scales?
I am just curious, I do not want to get rid of it.

Are you saying that is what you sell them for,   the shipping threw me off.

My price quote was a total guess considering rareness of blade and cool camo.  A new one with regular blade and red scales would be 24 or so.  Nice Knife
