Birth year SAK Request
on: July 29, 2018, 03:15:23 PM
 :mail:  Thanks to Syem, the search is over!!  I finally have my Grail SAK, a '67 Soldier :ahhh :ahhh.  This knife is absolutely spotless.  There's nothing I can add detail wise that hasn't been written before, but compared to my other soldiers, this knife has a certain feel of solidity....it's also the only hollow river Wenger I have. 
Thanks again Syem!  Thank you, too, FoBo, for all of the help you have me in trying to find one of these guys!  As I found out, Wenger was the only manufacturer (I believe) in 1967 for the Soldier, so they seem pretty difficult to find.  I apologise in advance as this knife deserves much better pics.

 :ahhh :ahhh   Thanks everyone!  In addition to being a BY SAK, it's also my first vintage model.  The feel is entirely different.  This is a phenomenal group of great people that really help each other out.   :salute:

Congratulations Barry :D Enjoy! And do try to stay reasonable

I've had many 67s in my hands over the years but this one truly was the nicest of them. Don't know if I've had Vics 67s though...
