What's your latest SAK?

OK, here is my modified Victorinox SAK made by Neil. Won it in a contest over in the Charter Members forum. I call it the Special Technician. It has a blade, combo tool and corkscrew layer, metal saw/file and fine screwdriver layer, a pliers layer and a Phillips screwdriver and Mag glass layer. It has those beautiful translucent Smoke or Onyx scales to dress it up. Here is a photo and link to my blog with more photos of this creation built by Neil and design by me.

I have several older Executives that have the smooth edge orange peeler blade. Also some with the fine serrations. Some photos and links;

Thanks for the picture.

Wavy Director looks great, don't think I've seen that.

I just noticed you uploaded that to SAKWiki. it's beautiful!
Are you in for a trade?

Sorry with the shackle, blade, and shield this one is in the five star category of my collection.

I think you knew that though.

I knew that

Although I tend to prefer the original red cellidor scales, I have to admit that I was taken with the camoflage Spartan.

Cheers

Another real beauty!

I don't think someone just removed the serrations on the orange peeler. I don't remember if I've seen one before, has anyone else seen the non-serrated orange peeler?

Nice! I have never seen an alox Executive with a bail. I have seen the regular cellidor Executive with bail.

They are truly handsome, I have one with the serrated peeler, however keeping it on my keychain did tend to batter the cellidor

Here is something you don't see very often. A red scaled Wenger Ranger. Its the Century model with partially serrated liner lock blade.

Oh dear, I seemed to have aquired another Astronaut...One for the pocket another to be kept in the box!

Have I caught a bug or what??

Well me being a sak doctor and dealing with many a patients like you I seem to come to the conclusion you may have. The best advise I can give you is to send one to me for experimental purposes.

I bought 2!Ones been re-scaled woth Stay-Glos,as my survival SAK,the other gained a Plus scale and tends to be my favourite EDC.

In other SAK related news my over due Wenger J10 arrived today!Thing is I'm sitting here wondering if I can make a Wenger Evo Gripped DofE

And now heres the pix:

I still fancy the idea of doing the Wenger DofE,but it wont be based on this little guy,its a keeper!While its far from being tool heavy,its strangely charismatic!

Gareth · **Reply #1215 on:** September 19, 2011, 07:22:24 PM

I've become a big fan of Wenger's Evo offerings, like you say they've just go a little something about them.

frugalscotty · **Reply #1218 on:** September 19, 2011, 09:59:18 PM

Cool use of the pinstripe scale. I love advertising SAKs when some thought is put into it rather than just slapping the company name on there.

Ok I won it. It wasn't cheap but a Star Wars Darth Vader classic. I'm using the scales to put on a rambler for my son

Steve, there's a fourth one - of C-3PO - that isn't widely available in the US, even from Think Geek.

Oh 4 then. I stand corrected. Thanks Rex.

Sazabi · **Reply #1224 on:** September 20, 2011, 01:52:56 AM

No problem. I have no clue why it wasn't imported with the other three.

ICanFixThat · **Reply #1225 on:** September 20, 2011, 03:17:28 AM

My EDC is a red scaled one from Scibeer. I really like it, and it sliced up my apple today. After a few years it may be transitioned out of EDC, but more on that later as the New Year EDC shuffle happens.

ICanFixThat · **Reply #1226 on:** September 20, 2011, 04:11:47 AM

I don't know if there are better names for these older Wengers, but they are basically vintage versions of the Standard Series model 1.04.03 (Diplomat+Phillips) and the Commander. The nailfiles have a nicer contoured tip (more visible for the other side) like the contouring of the tip on the older Vic 74mm nailfiles. It is much nicer than the current design which I think makes a terrible cleaner tip on the modern Wengers.

Like that old style Wenger scissors,I haven't handled one of them yet only seen pictures of them,and a bail,looks like a very nice knife.
