Sak of the year?

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Is there going to be a Sosak knife of the year this year, only I've not seen any mention of it so far

[WhichDawg]

have they done that in the past, and can we have a "MultiTool" of the year here!

They have done it 2 years previous over on SOSAK I believe.  Last year was a OHT.

I like the idea of that we could have a poll Each forum with there best models and then those winners be moved to the General tool forum (so not to be biased   ) Then we could pick from those

Last year was a Wenger Evo 16.   Year before was an OHT.   Year before that was a blue Climber.

It's all over. I've already decided the winner is the BO Spirit S.

Thanks for the info! 

[ultimaonliner]

The hope is that this year, Vic or Wenger will make a completely unique, custom SAK for SOSAK for a limited run.

All of us at SOSAK have been debating which tools, what size, and what type of scales to choose for this ultimate SAK!

[WhichDawg]

as you can see in my sig line, I soooo like the OHT! thx uncle Bob!

Yeah but with so many ppl it will be a very hard choice won't it 

[Steel Blade]

There is a Member called Travis Autry who deals with the companies sometimes. He organizes a large part of it. Def and Travis usually have a good idea what is possible and what is "blue sky". It usually boils down to numbers. I wonder if a joint Sosak / Multitool org. purchase might have more clout.

Oops! Somehow I missed 2005 and it threw everthing off a year.

I have edited my original post.

Thanks!

[Grant Lamontagne]

No problem- the years that are printed on each knife was probably what everyone looked at anyway!

Def

I would like to see a wenger alinghi as sak of the year, avaliable with a good price. 

[WhichDawg]

by having a "tool of the year" I think it rewards good designs and makers and gives
people who want a good tool in their hands some solid ideas/views.

we all know the choices can be overwhelming!
it also steers the next line/models in that direction, which is good for everybody

[Travis Autry]

The SOSAK KOTY(Knife of the year) has been and remains an interesting project.  Def and I have communicated on it several times in recent months.  Apparently some of my information got lost between my computer and his.  Having just figured that out, I will be sending him new info shortly.

Once he reviews my research and makes recommendations, I will post something at SOSAK so members can begin voting.  It has been a very democratic process each year and will remain so this year.  Once the members have voted on a model and color, reservations will be taken and payments received.  When that is done, I will place the order.  I will try to post something here so that those with memberships in both forums can be informed.

As for a multitool of the year, the idea has come up before.  The trick is finding a supplier, price point and minimum quantity that makes it worthwhile.  The SOSAK knife has never been a money maker, but the break even point on SAKs is much lower than on multitools.  It will take a good bit more research before we make a definitive decision.  Naturally it also depends on what plans, ideas or schemes Def has percolating in dark recesses of his brain.

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Thanks Travis

Hopefully it'll be something nice and UK legal with a saw on

yeah I hear it's pretty dark in there!

thanks Mr Autry, that is so cool 

[Grant Lamontagne]

Mwa ha ha haaaaahhhhhhh!

Seriously, I have different plans for Multitool.org, although a tool of the year hasn't strayed too far from my mind.  I prefer the option of offering any Multitool.org offerings on a regular basis, in hopes that anyone who has missed out on the initial release can pick up any tool whenever it's convenient for them.

We are working on a few plans for more dedicated members though, so don't worry.  Look for an announcement very soon!

ladies and gentlemen, that's known as a teaser!
(told you he was dark!)
