Title: Open up your SAK
Post by: Ron Who on January 29, 2017, 05:46:13 PM
Title says it all, open up your SAK, show us what tools you got, with a name please, if possible.

The couple I carried today: +B Carver SW and Tourist. A near perfect combo for me. The sturdy alox knife for general outdoor work, the smaller classic red knife for lunchtime.

Love seeing these tool fans, all! (http://www.pic4ever.com/images/305.gif)

First we have what I believe is a Swiss Army Brands Handyman (SABI 5041). It has:
It's certainly 1985 or earlier but I'm not exactly sure this isn't a variant of the Champion.  It has the same tool set as a 70s Champion but newer versions of the tools. It's got an SKF inlay, which is as extant company that still makes bearings. I'm currently calling it So Kool Fool but might have to change that when I change the scales. (They are both cracked) Only moments ago a 3-knife lot sold on ebay for $24 containing another SAK exactly like this, with SKF inlay. Cheers to whoever snagged that.  :cheers:

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/360/32556048216_ace7e3cc7b_z.jpg)

Next up is a curiousity to me. It's a transparent light blue tinker. I believe this is simply a sun-faded sapphire model. What's odd to me is that the blade has the older "crossbow" tang stamp, but it is the narrower blade with spacer-bump on the outer liner. It's the only SAK I have with the old stamp but newer thin tang. Crossover year?

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/661/32217381410_6d5468aba0_z.jpg)

Lastly we have my 84mm MOD with:
It has nylon scales which I really like. I'm considering adding a 5th layer with serrated blade and electrician blade, no back tool. Still don't have a name for this one.

  • cap lifter without 90 degree stop
  • can opener
  • fluted corkscrew
  • old type backside fine SD

Nice SKF Handyman.  During the time that knife was made, my grandfather was a purchasing agent for a coal mine. he got a nice USA made, but cheap pair of nail clippers with the SKF logo, which I now have.  Too bad he didn't get one from them--he'd likely be still carrying it today.

I'd leave the scales on.

Yeah, they are great! The scissors are very useful. Though, I am looking at buying a spartan, and using the scissors on my classic instead...

Here's the one I'll be carrying today.
A SAK modded to become a Scientist with a metal saw:



That's lovely! Did you manage to put the fine screwdriver on the file back layer?
This is the back layer.  I bought the knife this way as an already modded knife.

Here's an older pic of my MechaRogue.  I've since changed the front scale, but don't have a pic of it all opened up.

Yes, I think it's called a technician screwdriver, it is inline.

My edc.  Awesome mods everyone!  That Compact mod is incredible jaya_man.  I guess the hook on the Compact can be replaced with an awl.  Did you have to do anything special to make it fit?

Hi Harris... Yes, I had to bend the backspring a bit to put some tension back to the tools and added some washers to compensate for the awls thickness...

This trick I learned from Syph007... :cheers:
