Detron,Excellent work, and you did it again. I too am new to SAK collecting, and am always glad to find means aimed to help further the collection. Thank you!
Thank you for doing it. Do you know how to incorporate it into a web based search app like the SAK Selector? And maybe having it link to a specific SAKwiki page once the model you have been searching for has been selected. It would reach a wider audience and we could host it on the wiki or as part of MTO. Just a thought. As for Vic info, I think i already linked you to this page http://www.e-webtechnolog...s_-_Updated_12_FEB_08.pdf and the info from the SAAM page that was left. Info on dating Wengers is VERY limited. Hardly anything is left. Wenger Time Windows and much text thread offers some, and North Man posted a few tidbits of info throughout the Wenger love thread and some others on the subject.
Hey Detron,Thanks so much for these spreadsheets They are just great - And I can imagine how much work went into creating them. I have downloaded them to my PC and colour coded models that I have in your spreadyLike you (and probably most of us) - I am very keen to date SAKs so this is very usefulFor the sheet with the models on it did you say you were working on adding in dates when models were introduced/retired? That would be just great if it were possible. Or did I miss this?For the tools spready I can see afew enhancements - Sorry!! Different versions of the:Metal file; wood saw; phillips driver (ie Can key, square, rounded etc) fish thingy w w/o ruler.....; the can opener; the screwdriver (wire stripper notch, wire stripper on curved bit etc) Also the bail; the old Soldier version of the reamer/awl'; Clip point vs drop point small bladeA lot of this is in the brilliant SAAMS webpage:http://victorinox.metodi.me/91mmtools.php#scissorsHope this is helpful..Keep up the good work
Huntsman, I am glad you found them useful, and though I would love to add dates when models were added, I have no clue about that information, however, one of our members here is working on a book to discuss SAK dating, and in my opinion this person is THE SAK expert.I know his book will require a lot of work, and though I know it is a labor of love for him, I cannot wait to read it once it is released (if it gets released)I might even take a few days off of work just to devour that book.

If so, the book is actively being written as we speak. The last couple months were spent on SAK research, photography research, and book/typography design work. Things are coming along and I'm focusing on just the manuscript now. Might post a sample chapter here soon.
I don't have MS Office so it won't open.....I was hoping there was a giant jpeg or pdf of of the chart that I could look at.
Detron, I think this excel spreadsheet thing is probably a very good idea, but I cant help but feel very intimidated by it (and im a pretty young guy, and fairly computer literate, to boot). Admittedly, I havent watched the video yet, but I can only imagine how some of our computer illiterate members feel reading that. So my point is... Is there a manual I can read?

I don't have any office apps on my laptop.I will export this into a format you can use, but in the mean time, Libre Office is free, runs on Windows, Mac, or Linux, and is really nice.
