I have about 55 SAKs, many of them (ex-) users. How about you?

I'm at around 50 as well. And maybe 6 or 7 SAKs-worth of parts.

The right amount to have is, of course, "just one more".

The nice thing about them compaired to my other crippling addictions hobby collections is that even a few hundred can be stored in a small space.

I await the collection pics featuring 300 purple alox in a custom cabinet  :popcorn:

I also await Monrogue clicking on that "1".

Too darn many! About 50-60 - it all started because of you folks. Before I found this site I only had one; an old Vic Champion that I carried when backpacking.
Some times I hate you folks - you all started all this madness!

I always say I have a few.
But somebody told me I could not call it "a few", that would be called "some"

Anyway, here are old pics with a few of my alox...

I've had lots of SAK's over the years since my firs tone in 1969. A one got stolen at an army barracks, one got stolen out of a glove box when my car was broken int. A few got gifts away when they were admired by a family member or friend. Some I traded off because they were not a model that fitted my life anymore. Then I downsized all my personal possessions.

At present time I have 5 SAK's. My tinker, Wenger SI, recruit, and two classics. That's enough for my lifestyle.
Don't get too serious, just enough will do.

Let's do a head count:
Sportsman, Huntsman, Mountaineer, Waiter, 2x Spartan, Swisschamp, DAK...

That makes 8...

If I couldn't resist the urge so far, that would probably be 80.

Do Swisstools count?
That would make it 10.

My collection is between 100-120, but I reached an accumulation peak a while ago (maybe 2 years?), and now I am mostly refining/downsizing. The introduction of the Pioneer X caused me to have a slight relapse.  :ahhh

Yes I have had enough, and still do.  :facepalm:

Close to 30. Current and former:

Vic:

A handful of Classics (normal and SD-tipped).   I gave my first (plain red, bought new) to my great-uncle years ago, and recently gave a friend a black one.

Bijou

Rambler

Executive (1950s and '60s version of what would become the 58mm Companion)

MiniChamp

Executive (74mm, Biomet advertising scales)

Companion (gave to a guy who helps my grandparents when I'm not around, or for large jobs the three of us couldn't do alone, it's somewhere in the barn, as the guy lost it)

Ecoline Sportsman

Tinker Small (Caterpillar advertising scales, ca. 80s brand new in box, recently given to friend who operated mostly CAT equipment in surface coal mining operations for over 30 years)

Super Tinker

Camper

Fieldmaster (my first SAK!)

Explorer

Fisherman (1960s, with most tools broken, good thing it came in a lot, will be a frame for a mod, eventually)

Craftsman or Champion from the mid '70s (I think it's a Craftsman, but an old US catalog referred to it as a Champion)

Craftsman ('88-91 version with pliers and no hook)

Marlboro Outdoorsman

Pioneer (OC, belonged to my great-grandfather, who was a very accomplished golfer, despite having only one leg)

Soldier  (1993)

German Army Knife 108mm (early Vic version with no match striker)

Soldier (2013)

Master RT

Fireman (linerlock, '07 model)


Wenger:

Microlight Esquire (which, unfortunately had the batteries leak while in a pack)

Pocket Toolchest

Stainless handled Esquire

Handyman (with advertising for defunct company Fred Hill Materials of Poulsbo, WA)

EVO 17 "Mike Horn Souvenir)

8 SAKs, a Swisstool RS, and a Swisstool Spirit X. My next purchase will be a Wenger SI with bail, or Victorinox Soldier with bail. If anyone has an extra of either they are willing to sell or trade, please let me know.

Fantastic pictures guys! The collections are beautiful!

I have about 25 or so.... but problem is that they are not the right ones :ahhh

My collection wishlist adds up to about 50 mostly modded saks:
- A birth year soldier or standard issue (1977)
- Red 84mm OC+ alox versions of the bantam, cadet, lumberjack, voyageur and possibly a microfarmer
- Modern red alox versions of the above
- Full 93mm variant set in red alox
- full set of red swisscards
- bladeless swisschamp
- bladeless grand prix
- A set of 91mm saks with combo tool, main blade, backspring screwdriver and +1 layer. The extra layer should be unique for each sak in the set, and cover all available 91mm layers.
- scientist
- engineer
- some sort of custom whittling sak
- a handful of other mission-specific customs.
- a handful of 74 & 58mm saks

-Tom
All I know is that I don't know anything - but I can't prove it!

Took me 17 years to track down my birth year Soldier.
I showed it to my mother and she said, "Aw, ya daft sod! We wuz pullin' yer leg! You're not really born in 1963! You wuz born five years later!"
"You mean all my life you been lying to me?! But why, muthah! WHY!"
"Cos your uncle Basil had this stupid penknife from 1963 and nobody thought it was worth the 900 pound he wanted for it..."
"That's outrageous, muthah! You should be ashamed ayaselves! Now I gotta find me a Soldier from 1968!"
"Funny you should say that, cos your uncle Basil's got one of them too. Red. Old Cross."
"How much?!"
"Cos you're fambleh.... two grand?"
