Just curious how some of y'all go about displaying your SAKS if you do so at all.

No display here  :salute:

Display + pocket knife = does not compute

I'm one of the weirdos who thinks a knife belongs in a pocket, not on a shelf  :D

Its interesting to see the little projects that you guys cook up, but I have no interest in following suit. I only get any feeling of pride, worth or satisfaction from using pocket knives. Just owning them and looking at them doesn't do much for me. When they're not in use, they live in a drawer or are stashed in little kits.

I feel ya. And don't get me wrong, I have a knife in my pocket that I use everyday. but you know it's just my hobby so a pick from about 10 that I EDC.  only have about 60 on display. And then I have boxes of new and used ones I hope to eventually display.


It is and it isn't about using the tool for me. I will probably never use most of my knives, but I don't tend to collect models that I wouldn't carry.

it's more about the history in the mystique for me and it's also a way to interact with people from around the world who are passionate about these things. :cheers: :salute:

There are lots of different ways that members here appreciate them. For some it's colours, for some it's different design variants, or tang stamp, or rare items, or different collectable scale prints.

For me it's simply about having the right tool in my pocket when I need it. I tried many different types before I found what works for me, and it was a fun journey, but now i can just coast along with my select few without feeling the desire to chase down the next one. I've never really been a collector, but it's still nice to see some of the treasures found by those who are :cheers:

Biggest part of the collection is now safely stored in a box, out of sight and and not to be displayed for a while  :cry:



The reason for this is we're putting the house up for sale soon, and I don't want my most precious items (the expensive and rare ones and the military/government related collection) to be visible on the photo's of the house and I don't want to risk someone taking one during an 'open house'. Maybe I'm too distrustful, but better safe than sorry :D

We're moving in about two months and until then I probably am too busy with other things than the SAK collection anyway!

Will you have a few more rooms for your growing SAK collection?

Well... in the new house there is still one room for which we don't have a purpose... yet  :whistle:

I’ve been working on this display.  My goal was to have the current cellidor 84mm and 91mm models.  I don’t have the watch case opener 84mm, or all of the “lite” 91s, but it’s a pretty good representation.  I have my fancy models on the top shelf, and all of the Marlboros on the bottom.

There are some nice Limited Editions in your collection, Wire Edge :drool:
I think I have posted this photo a while ago in another thread, but this is how I display my knives.
A friend of mine has printed these stands with the 3D Printer.

Thanks!

Masel, those 3D printed stands are great!   I wish there was something readily available like that.  The clear acrylic stands I found are very good, but not made specifically for displaying SAKs.
