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!

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

29 bucks plus 2.85 shipping
