Title: My first exposed rivet SAK.
Post by: Aloha on February 19, 2018, 04:16:43 PM: I picked up this 84mm buffalo horn SAK. There are a couple of issues but a neat SAK for me. The small slip point blade has lost its tip. The scales have dings and dents. The main blade has a wear and a lot of scratches. The scales are solid but you can see the rivets are not all exposed. I like the single spring on the scissors and the stripper on the bottle opener. Would someone please give me a name and date of this neat SAK please. I was thinking Climber Small? I thought Vice President but there are not T&T.

:think: :think:

Sorry, scissors... Climber Small. Still missing T&T, though. You're right, it should be a Vice-President, according to Wiki.

I've brought back many things made of Bull Horn from south America, but never seen a Swiss Army Knife like that.

Post by: Aloha on February 20, 2018, 01:01:08 AM: Thanks guys. Its my first exposed rivet and first buffalo horn anything. I've treated the scales to some food grade mineral oil and wow. Those scales soaked it right up. I'll take care of the small blades tip and give the main blade a decent polish. I doubt this will be carried but its really a neat SAK.

Post by: Aloha on February 21, 2018, 12:38:04 AM: Thanks. It soaked up a second round of mineral oil. For now it'll have to wait for restoration.
