Swiss Army Knights Forum / Leather slips for SAK’s

« Last post by Swisster on Today at 05:58:43 AM »

Just got this from TahoeLeather and it’s the nicest slip I have owned. Very high quality and it’s nice that no brands or branding has been embossed into it. The metal rivets give it a nice extra touch. It fit’s this Cadet well and covers the whole knife.

I would agree. That makes me wonder if nylon is somehow less sustainable (to use a current "green" buzzword) than Cellidor. Of course, I'd awlso like to see them bless us with Micarta, and maybe G-10...

I think you are correct, Cellidor is supposedly 45% cellulose, so relies less on petroleum than a plastic like nylon.  I have some G-10 scales that are solid and textured, much prefer the feel in hand, that would be cool for vic to add.

Three nice colors!

I am planning to slide through this without a  purchase. I am, I am going to really try.

Got 2 SS models.  The one in hand is 4/13!

Ouch , just slice my thumb on the blade checking the date code 

 Correction, it’s SS with tint of bright red thumb prints

Yeah, it's a great knife.  Really nicely weighted pull on the blade.  F&F is pleasing.  I'm not convinced the Ablett design "ergonomic" shape adds much to the equation but I don't hate it either.

I have very few knives with blades over three inches (the legal limit in my city), but I'll give some thought to joining...even though my uses of blades would be pretty repetitive.

There's nothing to stop you from owning a yellow 91mm SAK.

Just lack of a set of yellow scales to slap on. That and I've pretty well joined "Team No Back Layer Tools."

I  wish Vic would just go to nylon.

More great photos and uses, y'awl! I wonder how long Rich can go in this challenge without buying something?

Day 1

I'm beginning the challenge with three Micras. At left is a green 02/20-03/20. In the middle is a blue Lexan 12/01, gifted to me by Aloha not long after I joined MTo. The red 07/20 is owned by Mrs. FX. Tomorrow will see the green one in action.

I might poke around eBay and see if there are any interesting Micras floating around.
