Need a SAK IDed

[Steel Blade]

Neil both are round shank (split) neither are with the nail file. (??)

Don't feel bad! I was only going to use the Voyageur as an edc. I don't dare carry my new (old) one after what it cost me.

The one I've just won appeals in that I won't be scared to carry it and I get to do it up.  Hopefully it'll just need the blade reprofiling and a bit of spit and polish.

They don't go for pocket change; Its got to be one of the most expensive discontinued SAKs.  On the good condition ones I've seen I haven't even bothered bidding, knowing they'd go for well outside my budget.

So, you don't have a little square shank Tinker    I feel a karma restoration plan coming together    I don't like taking glamour shots with artificial light, so I'll PM you tomorrow with some pics and a cunning plan

Nice 84 line up mate

So what is it with the 84's that keeps you coming back mate

Sorry to Hi-jack this thread.


Micky I like the size for edc. I also like the Wenger 85's but I am not a great fan of their scissors. The Salesman (basically an 84mm SUPER Tinker) is my favourite configuration in that size.

But I collect other sizes too and alox, 84mm was just my latest thing. I think I just like cleaning up the old models and bringing an old stiff gunked up model back to life. Hearing the"snap' of a well oiled SAK.

Three generations of Scottish engineering in my background has to come out somehow!

Regards

Thanks for the reply mate , my experience of 84mm is pretty much confined to Eco and Alox Lumberjack's and My first Vic's

I like the My First. I have a nice black one that I think looks all grown up
Though I have been told by my betters that they are just to be treated as a source of parts

I don't know about you, but I hate to see anything that cute get all broken up

What would I make my sarnies with... for I have no Flair!

At least in theory you could put the Vic away dirty...

I am intrigued now.

I can't wait until tomorrow.

Oh, you'd have loved it here earlier then. I smashed up 5 SAKs earlier as my "build your own swisschamp" gets up to speed.

Looks like my workbench, but more organised

That's what Scibeer used to make the sheepsfoot blade in that 84.
