Found a bunch of SAKs for sale locally!
on: October 30, 2016, 02:02:04 PM
http://www.adverts.ie/hand-tools/victorinox-spartans-compact-climber-huntsman-clearout-collection-etc-construction-edc-hiking-camping-fishing/11656144
Link leads to a listing on a local buy/sell website for a small collection of SAKs.  :o
On photo 14, I see a super tinker with backspring philips, square shank on one side and rounded(pic-12) on the other side?
When was that philips discontinued? It seems like a nice not-quite vintage(?) sak for my collection. (another sak?!  bad me!  :twak:)
Also the scissors have the screw!
If the description is to be believed, that super tinker should cost 9-12EUR.

I think I see a fluted corkscrew on at least one sak, cant really tell. You see anything else that looks interesting?
Lots of old logo vic as well, and some newer two layer wenger?  :drool:
Ad 111mm Alpiner/Cowboy with red scales?

Cheers!  :cheers:

All hail the hook!

If you don't already have a slim and simple 111mm I'd say definitely go for the Cowboy or whatever it is.
I find it difficult to get excited about 91mm Victorinoxes at the moment - especially the red ones! - but the prices seem reasonable, and some of those advertising scales are cool. I'd get the Dunlop!

Thanks for your input! That 111mm looks more comfortable to use than a fireman?
I might get a wenger(two in pic-5), assuming they have the wenger can opener, to try it out. Choices choices choices!  :ahhh

Anyone else have thoughts about the selection offered? You can probably spot something I missed.  :whistle:
Still thinking about the old super tinker.
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

There's at least one vintage square Phillips with the file along the side. One other looked as if it might be a partially square on three sides with the exposed edge rounded. SAKWiki gives information on five different back layer Phillips and states there may be more in the text . . .

First off, the Super Tinker looks like a "no brainer" - a more useful SAK, gram for gram, is impossible to imagine...

Whether you pick a single layer 111mm or something more fun like a Fireman is only for you to decide. The single layer is obviously going to be cheaper but with no openers, it's a bit limiting. It's nice to have a simple knife for times where, if you ruin the blade, it's not the end of the world - but it's also nice to have a SAK that let's you pop the lid off a beer bottle or prise the top off a tin of paint. Personally I favour 2-3 layers - I think the Fireman is 4. If I really had to pick one and one only? I'd take a 3 layer Soldier/Trekker/Forester. From the 2 you mention I would go Fireman.

Anyway, have a fun time picking out the goodies from this selection!

Is the one branded GEA or GFA on image 20/24 91mm or 84mm long?  Looks like it's got a saw and scissors, might be an 84mm Huntsman...
