What's your latest SAK?

[basilio]

The Tactiles came in two versions, a black 8-blade model; and a 7-blade model with blue-grey handles that seem to vary from very blue to very grey.

I will add here the informations I have.
I saw the black version in a 2005 dealer catalog, with the name "Tactile 812", but no catalog number.
The blue/grey shows up in a 2006 catalog (which I have) with the name "Tactile 811" and catalog number 1.114.09.811
I will update the wiki when I'll have time.

... and Tactile may be refered to as Soft-touch in some markets and both ways in others. Soft-touch seems to be the more recent term.  The black Evo ST (.814 style) is the evolution of the flat style.

picked this up - an older Grand Prix with the square and round Philips and no keyring.

Found this one on craigslist this morning. Picked it up literally 5 min ago for $15. NIB, but not sure of the model or the age but I'm not going to pass up a Vic for that deal.

I believe have the same one.
Looks like it's this model : http://www.smartknives.com/Victorinox-Knives/Victorinox-Champion-Chisel.htm And according to that site, it's pretty valuable among collectors.

Thanks, enki. Will watch.

Apparantly yes!Wenger made them that year,but it was an uber short run. I'd even be happy with a 72 DAK!

[ICanFixThat]

Newer Ranger with stainless-steel file, and a very nice print; the other side is advertising.  This company went all out with their special SAK.

[nsa-x-file]

Wow, those are really green!

There will be other green models in a few weeks time as well. I'll have them all as well.

Farmer
Bushcrafter
Pioneer
Rambler

I'll look out for you.
They come up often just not always in great shape.

[Reinier]

That Ranger is gorgeous, Francis. You got it from sigsal?

[ICanFixThat]

Yes.  It looks very new "SWISS MADE" tang stamp, stainless file, maybe Martin or someone in Switzerland could ring up the company and get some more.  It's really a nice one and I love that it's a Ranger.

[victor7000]

hmm... good idea. I'll try to find out more about it .... I know the company name 



Some more floral knives...

[ColoSwiss]

As one of the 'also-rans' for this knife I emailed Gutor Schnieder to see if it was available directly from them. If Martin would do the same thing, maybe we can get something going. Fingers crossed.

according to jazzbass (and I've learned to trust him with anything SAK related ), 1972 is the third hardest to find Soldier year, first being 1995 followed by 1974.

Im after a 73, and there have been a couple on ebay since I started looking, but I missed out.

[ameeks]

Thanks Jamie!
I like those Apocalypse Greens myself. I'll probably get the Pioneer and Farmer.
Those floral designs are really pretty.

Then you'll be happy to know that the most ever payed for a '73 Soldier was $690 in January 2010.
