Drop in quality?
on: March 27, 2018, 01:53:52 AM
So,here's the thing...

For one reason or another,the number of SAK purchases I make has dropped quite considerably. Over the last year or so it's been under six I think... :think:

Now,in that time I've bought a few new ones,starting with a limited edition Huntsman(with the funky artic or alpine scales). The thing I've noticed,and it's only been on the 91mm models,is that opener layer lacks the classic sharp,crisp clink that we love....

Now,I've got some fairly old SAKs,and for the most part,they age very well. I've got twenty or thirty year old SAKs that open and close like ne...well new used to be. The new ones kinda feel like the older Wengers with the soft back springs.

Has anybody else noticed this?
There is no beginning,or ending,and for this we are thankful,cos now is hard enough to understand!

I haven't bought any 91s lately, but I haven't noticed any issue with the 74, 93 or 111s.
