Vic SAK lot of 7 includes 3 combo tools
on: January 09, 2014, 05:32:21 AM
this lot doesn't look like anything special at first, but if you look through the pics, you'll see that of the 7 SAKs, three of them have combo tools. :)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-LOT-OF-7-LG-to-MED-SWISS-KNIVES-VICTORINOX-L-K-/161190363712?pt=Collectible_Knives&hash=item2587b1c240

I have no idea how high the auction will go, but it's currently at $16.38 with ~22 hours remaining.

I have no affiliation or history with this seller, but I thought some of the SAK modders might be interested...

Yes, but the 3 combo tool knives are 84mm and most mod's work better with a full size combo tool from a 91mm knife. :-\

looks like the seller realized combo tools are inadequate.

So, at the risk of learning something ... What makes them inadequate? I've been wondering if it would be better to have a custom made with a combo tool instead of a bottle opener and can opener.

Thanks!

84mm left/91mm right

The 84mm sits too low in the 91mm frame. Hard to get out.

That just makes the 84mm too small for a 91 or 93mm ... guess I don't see how that makes them inadequate. Unless of course the person was going to use them as spare parts to mod a 91/93mm

yes, the 91/93 mods is what makes the combo tool not as good. The cheapest 91mm combo tool comes from the Compact, and $30 isn't exactly cheap.
