Title: Birth-year SAK
Post by: Syem on November 28, 2017, 07:24:24 PM
I figured my birthday was a pretty good day to carry a knife as old as me.

I was going to post this in my "Which SAK is getting pocket time today" but I feel like I "must start a thread with a photo of [my] birth year SAK".

"Birth-year SAK" sounded close enough to "beer-SAK" to me at some point today so here we go:

Who knows there might even be a picture for the "SAK 'n' Cake" thread later if I remember :drink:

I unfortunately don't have 2011 and 1999 but I see a ton of "true" SAK going around here so I'll keep an eye out.

I'll have to post my 1890 Elsener at some point :D

I thought of another one I'm often looking for on behalf of a friend:  1977.  I believe that brings the list of needed BYSAKs to

1962
1965
1976
1977
1992
1995
1996

'77, '92, and '95 being my BYSAKs of interest.  Thanks to all the people who make MTO such a great place!

How did I never notice that this thread was unearthed this year? XD Sorry guys...

I've updated my list to add these... I've gotten my hands on a trove of soldier knives a little while back so i'll try to match the list and the stuff I have...

Here's the current table but not everyone has asked for the knives publicly so I'm not putting the names...

(https://image.ibb.co/kutUHU/saklist28092018.png) (https://image.ibb.co/kutUHU/saklist28092018.png)
