Help me find my dream SAK
on: May 29, 2019, 10:27:50 PM
Hey gang - longtime fan of the classic folding knife but brand new to the forum.
Christmas of 2018 I found a Tinker online in a transparent yellow. I'd recently misplaced my black tinker (my daily carry for 5ish years and a gift from my brother) and I loved the knife. I threw it out to my family that I'd like it for Christmas but unfortunately never received it. When I went to find it after Christmas, I found that the knife was no more and I've been desperately trying to find it since.

Does anyone know of a retailer that carries the Tinker in a transparent yellow? Did it ever exist? Have I lost my mind?

Any and all help greatly appreciated.
Nate

Is the colour that you're thinking of here?

Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!

Welcome to  :MTO: NateWoods

Transparent yellow was used on the smaller 58mm range, but afaik not on the larger SAKs like the Tinker.

Yeah, could have been that citrine. Maybe I just imagined it was a tinker.
In my head it was more like the classic standard yellow anyway, I might just end up tracking a solid yellow down.

Tinker felt like the right amount of tool for my pocket in my edc, I keep it on my keys and hook them to a belt loop with a cheap caribbeaner. It hides in my pocket but is super accessible.

The Small Tinker (84mm) is a great EDC and very popular, but I like the 91mm Super Tinker as you get the scissors and it’s still a good size. If you don’t need the scissors, the Alox Cadet is super-thin and will survive a good deal of bashing for EDC. So many choices!
