Where to buy a new SAK?
on: September 07, 2017, 04:29:20 AM
So I unfortunately lost my EDC SAK, a Deluxe Tinker. So now that I'm in the market for my first new SAK in a long time, I was wondering where would be the best domestic source for SAK's?
Thanks

If you are looking for another Deluxe Tinker there are a lot of places (physical or online) you can get a new one from. If you want to check out some other models and try out different ones my suggestion is go to a store if you can, try a few models out, hole them in your hand, then make a decision on what model to buy.

Personally if buying new i always go to a store to look at,  try and buy, don't like to buy that stuff online, too "impersonal"....

I am located near Atlanta, Ga. I definitely want another Deluxe Tinker but they seem to be hard to find in stores. I had to order the last one. My main concern was finding one for a good price from a seller that had a good reputation.

Have you check the MTO store?  If buying online from the auction sites stick with sellers with 100% rating and lots of deals made.  Good luck the Deluxe Tinker is a great SAK.

Honestly, man, I don't see the problem.



If you were buying a guitar, I'd say, "yeah, go to the store and touch it and play it".
A Victorinox SAK? No need. The quality is almost insanely consistent! You know the model very well. What is the "unknown" factor here?
I bought mine online and it's flawless.

By the way, not to plug anyone's business because I'm not affiliated with any stores, but I got my Deluxe Tinker from the swissknifeshop.com site. I even had my name engraved in the scale for a few bucks.

If I wanted a Deluxe Tinker, I would go with Amazon first also. On fleaBay, Central Valley Wholesale is an outfit I have had good luck with.  :salute:

Go Dawgs!  :cheers:
