dont let your sak sit in a clam for 3 years

[Blackbeard]

had a huntsman with pouch unopened for almost 3 years. almost pulled the trigger on huntsman 2 from recent sale, but thought to myself I have a silver tech and a huntsman light and this sealed one so i went with another model and decided to open the clam package. unfortunately one scale has a few blemishes, maybe from the packaging, but they wont rub off. Next I find the bottle opener has a very tight spring and is harder to close than all my others. lastly, the pouch is not the greatest, the knife has to slide past a folded over seam of leather which will also cause surface scratches over time.

So...open your goodies right away is the lesson I learned, cant exchange a 3 year old purchase

No, no, no, no!!!!
 

Keep it in the clam, sell it to a collector* as "mint"!
 

*Those guys never use what they buy, anyway. We're funny that way...

well at least I have a huntsman I can use now, the silver and ruby lite version are too pretty to mess up by actually using them so they stay in their boxes until I want to ogle them

that was actually my intention, to resell on ebay since I got it very cheap on amazon, but could never bring myself to list it. now that i got my hands on it and its not perfect...glad I didnt have to deal with ebay buyer/return if they were fussy about its condition

I saw the topic title and thought you meant a real clam.

Lol 

I was going for the sexual double entendre with that title, but an actual clam is pretty funny/bizarre as well

Oh god, no, SAKs don't belong there. 

I'm sorry the sheath isn't to your liking; if it's the one I'm thinking of, I've always liked the looks of the sheath, but I am not a fan of hook and loop closure options; snaps are less likely to wear out.

yeah its the leather with snap and belt clip, its decent enough, just think they need additional row of stitching to keep it from being in the way of things on the interior

[Blackbeard]

well the "made in China" tag inside the pouch explains a lot

I put my champion plus in the pouch, actually fits quite well, its really too big for huntsman

[KandiKlover]

Ah the Target store Huntsman pack. Not bad, just put new scales on it.
