Here's a few pics of my latest find, a Trooper, mint and boxed. The seller said it was an eighties model. Anyone know?









SI awl for comparison



SI blade for comparison



Climber corkscrew for comparison



Farmer saw for comparison.




Sorry for the poor lighting in the pics.

I don't know much about 108mm SAKs, certainly they were about in the 80's but I think they were made for a long time after that.  However old it is it looks like a great find.  :tu:

108mm line was discontinued a few years ago, 2003 according to SAK Wiki. That's a very nice SAK you got there MB  :cheers:

Regardless of it's age, 108's are still a bloody fine knife :)

And edc-able too if you don't mind going by the letter of the law, rather than the sentiment ;)
Give in, buy several Farmer's!!!!!!

It occurs to that a thread for listing our favorite UK knife sellers and how to reach them
might be helpful to our members who are striken by the ebayUK knife embargo.

I think I'll start one.

It'd probably be alright for EDC where I live.
