I put a barcode and GPS transponder on each of my SAKs so I can check their status and location remotely from my iPhone at any time. A 232 page Excel spreadsheet auto-updates and alerts me whenever a variant I don't own pops up on the used market. Naturally I can track the financial value of each of my SAKs in realtime, so I know when it's time to buy or sell.
If I happen to be the USA and I feel like it's a Tinker kind of day I press a button and my assistant in Berlin jumps on the next flight, bringing me my Tinker. This used to be cooler in the days of Concorde - Sometimes she'd be to-ing and fro-ing across the Atlantic like a a yoyo according to my moodswings. "Did I say Mountaineer?

I've been working on GCStar for a little bit and this is what it looks like.
I'm not sure I will keep using this, but it is a portable version. That's really a plus for me.

I have a primitive digital system using folders for different sizes and accessories.

Within the folders, each file is a decent quality picture of the sak - and the file name is the make, model, year if relevant (eg soldier), number in it if relevant (eg. damast numbered release) and year of purchase. Also includes the gifts given over the years.

But I only have 100 or so saks and my assistant in Berlin is unreliable these days.

Unfortunately, no. But that's one of the considerations to use a portable database manager. I run Portableapps on my USB and intend to do the same, or move everything, on a SAK.
A 58mm with USB is high on my wishlist. Unfortunately they are rare around here.

Quote from: NorCalJim on February 17, 2017, 02:26:12 AM
One of our members mentioned using a database (obviously to keep track of a Swiss Army Knife collection).  So, I am curious about what methods others might be using to track their collections.  For those with a single SAK, it can be a simple matter of transferring it back and forth from a dresser to your pocket.  For those with several hundred or more, it would not be so simple.

So...

How do you keep track of your collection?  (Filing system? Database? If database, does it contain a field for photos?  If database, would you like to share a sample record?)

How do you distinguish multiple copies of a SAK model? (Labeled coordinates?)

Example: One member indicated that he has eight Swiss Champs.  Does he keep them in labeled bags or have some other way of distinguishing which is which?

How do you store your SAKs? (Display, Bins, Shelves...)

Any input on one or all of these questions would be most welcome.

that was me, recently!

I use bins like these



mounted to the wall, and put a label on the outside of each "little drawer" identifying the contents.  including the date range, and scale color if not red, or other things like "superTimer". 100 year, or even identifying the advertising such as Texas Instrument.

I use a spreadsheet, but I am quick to forget to update it
If I can help, let me know

All those lovely sak's piled up in a bucket like that getting scratched and dinged up...
While I don't really care much for organizing mine they are all lovingly stored away whenever I'm not using them. But than again I'm like that with every stuff own, I take good care of all of it, it still looks like it's rolled out of the factory even after 10 or more years of use  :D

Thank you. Saw you visiting... I was just creating a flashlight page.
Made it as a catalogue, to stop people commenting on facebook on my toys and it ended up having many uses.

Yap, did kendo for about 3 years... I was never very good, but I had a lot of fun doing it, barely got my 3 kyu and 1 kyu exams, then I kept having health problems, then money problems, then the muppet came along and I ran into time problems.

If things clear up, I'd like to restart doing it this summer... get the dan exam and go to the national championships and win at least a match (was selected two years ago, but couldn't attend...

Nice. I didn't get even that far, stopped training after 14 months. I remember my sensei was a teacher of Japanese as well, at Leiden University. He had some friends at the Tokyo Police Academy and was one of few Westerners ever to train there. At the time, kendo was very small in the Netherlands, less than 100 people.

I keep track of them in an excel sheet but as I like to see them I keep them in acrylic jewelry organizers available on amazon. Works very well.
