My apologies for not posting here first!

I've been hooked on Swiss Army knives ever since my grandfather gave me my first Victorinox in 1975. I think it was a Climber. I was headed off for big adventures in Kenya and he thought that was the tool for me. Sadly, both my grandfather and that SAK are now gone, but my love of the SAK has never wavered.

I now reside in Montana, USA with more SAK's than I can use. I've dabbled with Leatherman multitools and a Gerber or two, but it's SAK's that keep my interest. Thanks, granddad!

Welcome Nix, the Climber is a favorite of mine, also a OH Treker and my EDC Vagabond, and my Farmer, and also the Pioneer...

Will look forward to pictures of your SAK

Howdy.

Well, my knife carry tends to vary from day to day, but you'll almost always catch me with a SAK in my pocket.

Today:



The Climber remains one of my favorite knives, has proven to be useful time and time again. For....what? Over 40 years now? Yeah, the climber is a proven companion.  :climber:
