After reading Mr. Whippy's thread I "needed" to add a Timekeeper to my collection. The original, not the mods he did such a great job on. I went to this store I've been meaning to check out that I thought had a decent selection of SAK's. It seems that they have a decent selection of old stock. They had the Timekeeper and also had several Onyx Translucent scaled SAK's. I picked up a Onyx Voyager and an Onyx Signature Lite. I had neither in any scale type so I thought I would go with the Onyx.

+1 for onyx. I think they look sharp. Let's see some pics of the new additions!

What do you think of your Timekeeper?

I think the Timekeeper is a really cool classic! I thank you for turning me on to it. I don't know the answer to your question about the onyx scales. Unfortunately I didn't look at the other onyx models they had at the store. I think they had two other onyx models but I can't remember for certain.
This place had a rather different way of displaying their SAK's. They had a section of wall about the size of a door. All the SAK's were hanging from their keyrings, attached to the wall. You lifted up the knife and underneath was the name, scale color and number. Once I decided which SAK's I wanted a clerk went into the back room to see if they had them in stock and grabbed them if they did.

Notice the scales on the Voyager are not polished onyx. I guess they are translucent onyx nylon, aka Polyamide?

I like the matt/stippled onyx Voyager :drool:
-
Nice pics! I have an Onyx Voyager.
I'm not sure if I have any other in Onyx scales, but maybe a somewhat used Classic or something from an ebay lot.
What did they want for the Timekeeper?
-
Great choice, like them a lot :tu:
-
Very nice thanks for posting pixs.

That colour just doesn't do anything for me.
However, very nice knives. :tu:

I forgot about the onyx scales until the big cybertool sale. I was hoping they had that in the Onyx, but alas, they did not. Might have to see if rotokid has any.

The Timekeeper was $55. Probably a little high but I wanted it bad. :ahhh

It's not my favorite color either, but they seem to be harder to find these days so when I saw them I jumped at them. I could have gotten the Voyager in Red too but went with the onyx because it seemed more rare.

That's not too bad, I think that's basically the going price, which is a lot lower that what they originally wanted for them. It's funny that they are popular now, they were not very popular when first introduced. I think it was last year, or maybe the prior one, when they started liquidating them. I'd probably buy a spare if I had the chance. If anyone wants to send me just the Watch Part I'm looking for one of those.

I had a spare timekeeper, but BabyHawkChucker now owns it, and likes it actually from what I have heard.
