Greetings from Central New York
on: May 20, 2008, 01:51:43 AM
Hello everyone. I've been browsing the forum for awhile now and I finally decided to join. I received a Victorinox Tinker in 1988 and have been carrying some sort of pocket knife ever since.

Welcome to the forum!  We seem to have quite a few members on the east coast so you`ll probably feel right at home!

The Tinker is a great, and much overlooked model.  I like it quite a bit myself, and I know of at least one other member here who swears by it.  Lots of function in a small package- how can you argue with that?

Thanks for the warm welcome.

I've pretty much always owned at least one Tinker, and I've gifted quite a few. I'm currently carrying a black Alox Pioneer, purchased during my recent SAK buying spree.

If you are a SAK freak, you also need to check out www.SOSAKOnline.com, the homepage of the Secret Order of Swiss Army Knives, which is currently the world`s largest SAK enthusiast and collector organization.

Also, have a look at the new custom HAIII Farmers.... a tough knife made even tougher! :D

I just put in my request to join the SOSAK sub-forum on Knifeforums earlier tonight. I think you had signed off by the time I posted though.

I was checking out those HAIII Farmers, but I just bought a couple regular Farmers on Amazon. It will have to wait until next payday.
