Just an update: I decided to gift this SAK to a new friend. I struggled for hours whether to gift it or not, but decided he will value it more as its his first SAK.

Wow, I know I couldn't do it. :o  Not that I haven't given SAKs as gifts before, but I don't think I could ever do it with one that I have any kind of personal history with.

My new friend is in Search and Rescue and EMT, so I figured he needs it more than I do. When I first showed him the yellow SAK, twas as if I handed him a gold bar. That's when the thought of giving it to him crossed my mind  :angel:

I wore a new pair of jeans during pre Christmas lunch with family and decided to bring my yellow Golfer with me. I even used it that day when I had to cut a loose string, and posted such here at MTO. It was only the other day that I noticed that my yellow Golfer is gone. I guess it slipped out of my watch pocket unnoticed.

I feel this sad loss because:

(1) Twas a Golfer, predecessor to the Compact, therefore a rare model. I bought this one from a friend; and,

(2) I waited and paid a lot for the yellow scales from Russia which took more than two months of waiting.


Oh, well. I just hope it's new owner will find it very useful.

And I'm just glad I didn't bring my 1970 Elsener SAK that day!

This sole photo verifies the fact that a knife can never replace a pair of scissors...
