Swiza SAKs?

[Grathr]

So its a plastic scaled pioneer with some backtools... what is the selling feature. 

Tweezers? 

Except I prefer no T&T.  And I like a lanyard ring, so the Swiza is a big fail for me.

Actually, the tweezers are IMHO better than the ones from Vic/Wenger.

Also, as a usually well informed source just told me, there will be one with a wood saw soonish...

I wonder if it will be with openers and a saw, or just knife, saw, awl and back tool.
The last one would make an interesting tool. (On paper atleast)

I think that kindof makes Syph's point.  I don't think it will transition well from its soft-scale, albeit scissorless, urban carry to the tougher outdoors.  But at least it has improved tweezers to remove the splinters 

Don't think my Evo18 is going to lose any sleep.

Seems pointless to me.

Locking blade I think will draw some buyers and the deceptively ergonomic design.
As Etherealicer pointed out the tools are quite protruding and the ergonomics is just a mirage.
The lock button built in the scale is quite low key and attractive but I have no idea if it´s any good.

This is really interesting. Although I can't see the company lasting long.

Maybe that's the niche they are trying to fill then, lock blade?  Its a detractor though as far as potential market as many countries dont allow lockblade carry.   

Its not one hand open though, so should be legal in Germany and similar countries.

I consulted with my 80s hero...






Ok ok if they last 125 years I promise I will buy one.

No, but you can OHO the can-opener

Would definitely enjoy a Syph007 dissection/analysis so hopefully sooner than that!

FYI

LEGAL Advice

This knife is OHO AND LOCKING
While it not my have been designed for that, the blade is easy opened with a push of your thumb (just don't use the bloody* hole, just push the flat of the blade).

[Syph007]

I bet they didnt intend that...

Id really like to take one apart, but I cant bring myself to purchase one.  Maybe if they ever show up on Amazon I'll bite.

Spotted yesterday while strolling through the city. Store was already closed though.
I might check back sometime. The bright red looks fantastic.

These are way too expensive for you get. They better get that price point down if they want to survive any length of time at all.

Wrong! Well, at least from a marketing point of view.

They claim it is a re-invention of the SAK and its better. Because of that it has to be more expensive (who would believe it if it were cheaper).

I've got myself a black one as I was curious and it seems to be a good knife. We'll see after some days of use...
