Gentleman's Sak?

[Spork, Lord of Lime Jello!]

What did I do?  Your drink was bubbling like that when I got here...

So I'm not the only one who woke up naked in a ditch face down with an empty Swisstool box wedged between my nethers?

If only you had posted first, you could have saved us a lot time.

Here's a Desert Ironwood Pocket Pal

(Image removed from quote.)

Goodness gracious is that ever purty! 

[Spork, Lord of Lime Jello!]

Thanks.

Here's a small Tinker scaled from the same piece of Ironwood.

[ringzero]

Thanks.

Wow - really cool looking small Tinker there, SporK.

Small Tinkers have been my EDC for many years, but mine have all been factory stock.

I wouldn't mind having one as handsome as that.

[J-sews]

The figure in that ironwood is remarkable.

[Grant Lamontagne]

I love ironwood... I just hate working the stuff.  I'd rather grind away at something easier like steel or granite!  But it sure is beautiful, innit?

I'm surprized of no mention of the SAK Executive.  A nice size and very useful!

It could have been worse it might have been the Swisstool itself

PWork doesn't spend much time here, so we get to have Executive Free conversations!

I would probably carry this one.

Has anyone made a Vic "Stock" knife?

(Say, Large Spearpoint, small spearpoint, & electricians?)

or something along those lines.


Something in Blue Alox would be nice, but my only option here is the Pioneer or Classic.

(Not that there is anything ungentlemanly about the Climber)

I did mention it, actually.  From page 1:

I have three SAKs that I consider gentleman's knives.

ribbed Cadet (84mm) (any Cadet will do)
Golfer w/long nail file (84mm)
Executive (74mm)

It would be difficult for me to select a favorite between the Golfer and the Cadet.  A slight advantage goes to the Golfer for the scissors, but I really like the traditional can opener/screwdriver of the Cadet.  The Cadet is also very slim.

[ducktapehero]

Wouldn't ANY SAK carried by a gentleman be a "gentleman's SAK"? 

Earlier I said I'd carry my Farmer but I got to thinking about it and if my wife told me that tomorrow we have to get dressed up and go to a wedding I'd probably just stick my Fieldmaster in my pocket.

[Styerman]

An Alox Bantam would be another good possibility .

A gents knife has to be 74mm    Whoops how did that little silver Esquire sneak in there.

[ultimaonliner]

Vic alox Bantam feels deceptively thin and fills this niche need for me when I go to formal dinners. The wood scales on the other knives might look good to knife collectors, but nowadays everybody who sees the shiny alox scales of the Bantam are totally awestruck by it since none of them have very mature knife interests or experience.

Nice line up mate

[Dunc]

I would say a Soldier , Slim elegant and if anyone asks about it you can start up a conversation and tell them that its the std Swissarmy issued knife and if they are interested go on to tell them about Vic and Wenger .

I'm reasonably sure the selling point of a knife should not be "Maybe I can use this to get people to listen to me about my obsession"



Why don't you just buy a Badge "Ask me about Multitools"

Doesn't everyone here already have one?

Congrates on becoming a full member mate

mickey d,
Thanks! I suppose I'll be admitted to the no life club sometime after I learn to be as cool or as knowledgeable as the rest of you.
