So what do you reckon will happen then ??? ??? 91mm oht, 85mm rangers, even more diverse tools ???
How do you see the future product line of these great companies developing ???
-
I think things will move slowly but surely . Victorinox has moved with the times by introducing an MP3 player , usb memory SAK , cybertool etc. While Wenger has introduced the new Ranger range . I still think their std range is and always will be the bread and butter but both companys do keep moving .

Well in my case I wish they could come up with a FIXED BLADE ....maybe something like a psk type,
or neck knife and why not a hunter style....I guess they don't want to show the tactical side of knives....
Im sure would be fun to see it.....
-
I hope both Sak manufacturers stick with the current line up, and keep pushing the envelope within that line up,
But I would like to see some of the features of the 111mm and 120mm, ie OH opening preferably in a slip jointed package :) :)
The legallity and friendly perception of there knives is something I dearly hope they wouldn't turn there back on and I very much doubt they ever would, but maybe a few more concetions to the modern world, with the addition of pocket clips and the like ???
-
Pocket clips would definitely be limited to smaller models though. Imagine a pocket clip on an XLT! :ahhh
-
There would be a good chance of it pulling the trousers off you if you could stand up in the first place
-
I agree about the pocket clips...not only for use in pockets (since some tools are pretty big), but even to clip the SAK onto a loop or strap inside of a backpack instead of having it drop to the bottom of the bag/side pocket.
-
I hope they expand their Alox line,and for Vic...make more one hand models of the 111mm line.
-
Pocket Clips, one hand opening, and Alox! Pinch me, I must be dreaming again! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/jooliesews/Bobbys/smileys/happy451.gif)

Well he did promise to put multi's and Saks back up at the forefront so thats good at least :) :)
-
Well, it's a good thing that he's going to put SAKs and multis at the forefront. I am certain his original ideas and his efforts will be appreciated by the public, who obviously have no outlets for such things otherwise.... ::)

Probably a spyderench. That would fit in quite well on my sleave.

A part where you could clip in your door key and fold it away like a blade.
Would make my like easier anyway! :)
-
That might be a bit too wishful thinking mate ;D
Mind you one of the miracle workers over on sosak might be able to help :)
-
You can always hope!
I do hope they keep future 91mm SAK's looking the same.

You mean similar to the Mercedes type fold out keys?

Hey... I really like that idea! I wonder how you could do it?
-

Yeah similar.
Basically a part that allows you to insert a Yale type key that can then fold away like a blade.

I'm sure it could be done, it might stick out a bit on an 85mm or 91mm but both the 111 and 120mm should swallow the width of a key no problem :)
-
Depending on the type of key, it shouldn't be a big problem. I could see a simple setup, similar to the blade holder on the Leatherman Surge doing a similar job. I actually really like the idea, and I've been thinking seriously about it all morning!

You could go all out and instead of having a bunch of keys you could have say 4 or 5 in a sak.
-
I am thinking it would be best to have a modular thing because everyone has a different number of keys. For instance, I have one for the car, two for the house, one for a store I occasionally work at, and one for my in-law's house. I have had cars in the past that have one, two and even three keys.
And those are just the standard sizes keys. Add in the smaller ones I have and I have a few more...

I think that keys will eventually go the way of the dodo someday at least for cars anyway. I believe that Lexus has a fingerprint recognition thingy that starts the car instead of a key. It might still have a "just in case" key but I am not sure.
-
That's quite possible, but I'd trust a simple key over some electronic finger print reader, but then I'm a self confesed ludite :D

But what if I wanted my friend to use the car? A lot easier to give him my key than my finger. :)
I agree that they will eventually go this way. But I do think that there will always be a key of some sort. Just in case of a power failure or component failure.

Some folks would rather give the finger than the key :D Biometrics are the wave of the future,but,just sure as eggs are eggs,some smart thief will find ways around even the most sophisticated system.
