Day 30

If I had to pick the most beautiful SAK I've ever owned, this would be it: the SoCoCut green Farmer. This is one that I don't carry, as I want it to stay looking new (or nearly so) forever. Perhaps I'll get another for the purpose of carrying. I thought it was fitting to picture it with a tractor, but a model will have to do. The model tractor is an Ertl John Deere Model D from 1994.

Oh, and I ain't done yet. Check back tomorrow for some bonus photos!
That's another nice Alox. I've never been a big Alox fan, but after seeing all the really nice ones on this thread and others, I may have to rethink.

Day 30

I started this challenge with my smallest SAK, a Classic SD. And I'll end it with my largest - a three-fer collection of Champs. The black one was my first, the red my second. The emerald one orginally had red Cellidor scales on it. It was another case of buying something for parts, cleaning it, then thinking how nice it turned out, maybe I shouldn't break it up, it might look really good with some new scales...   
:facepalm:

OK, I'll post one more tomorrow as well to close out the month and the year.

Great collection of Champs!  :like:

Of all the cellidor SAKs, the champ is my go to. A lot of people say it's too big to be an edc. I think it's about the perfect size, definitely not any larger than a pliers based multitool.

I think it's a beautiful knife.
:iagree:  The wood scales give it a refined look.

A three-fer collection of Champs.
You gotta love a SwissChamp! Eventually I'll have more of 'em.

In time, you'll have enough. Thanks for checking out the challenge, and happy New Year to you as well!

Day 31

Bonus photos!  :woohoo:

The first two photos show the other SAKs that were part of the $1.65/ea lot. The red ones in the first photo both have gouges in the Swiss cross scales, and the Waterous Dependable looked like someone smeared melted chocolate all over it a decade ago. On the other hand, the blue one with the Allianz logo was the nicest of the lot. All of those are Classic SDs.

In the second photo are a Classic SD with badly worn white scales and the BTCSD (Bijou Turned Classic SD). I will put new scales on the white Classic SD eventually. The BTCSD was rhe worst of the lot. Besides the heavily worn scales, the tip of the blade had been broken off. I sent it off to Victorinox for repair, and the key ring was added to it during that process. Now it's a perfect user and lives in my Always Ready Pouch.

In the third photo is a Lime Twist Alox Classic SD, which is shown because I like the color. The red Tinker is my most recent SAK, and much like the first one I bought. Finally, there's a black Pioneer, but not the one I showed earlier; this one will be preserved.

Again, thanks to Jackpine54 and SteveP for making this a great challenge, and thanks to those who checked in throughout!

Day 31

Today the Rangergrip 178. I'm not sure why I bought this originally, but I'm sure I had a good reason  :rofl:

This has been a fun challenge with lots of drool worthy knives from FarmerX and SteveP. You guys have some impressive collections!
I completed my goal of 31 different models in 31 days and still have a few to spare.
My favorite cellidor is still the swisschamp, I have 13 of them. My favorite alox is still the farmer, wow I have a lot of farmers  :dunno:. So my favorites didn't change, but I did really enjoy using all the different SAKs this month. Thanks for a good challenge guys.

Day 31

This is the last model I've got that I haven't shown yet. It's also my most recent buy.

I thought it was a Delemont Evolution 16 from the listing on eBay, but it turned out to be an 18 when I opened the box and found the wood saw on it. For the low price I paid, it wasn't worth sending back. The tweezers are badly bent and there's some pocket wear on the scales, but otherwise it's in really good shape. But I think I'll still keep an eye open for a 16 (or S16) - it's the MTO way!

My only other Delemont is the S557, that I maligned much earlier in the challenge. But get rid of the useless wrench and stubborn inline Phillips, and apply a trick I learned to the scissors*, and the 18 is growing on me. I like the size. I really don't need a wood saw on a daily basis, so I think I'll like the 16 even more.

I've really enjoyed this challenge, seeing a wide variety of SAKs, using a variety of SAKs, hearing some great stories, and not focusing so much on use examples, like in other challenges. Thank you, Farmer X, for organizing it. And thank you to you and Jackpine for sharing your collections. I hope to see you both in future challenges. Happy New Year!


* Scissor trick: I don't remember where I read this on the forum. I'm right-handed, so holding the SAK in my right hand, blades up, pressing down on the swing scissor arm with my thumb. The trick is to press the swing scissor arm gently to the left while pressing down on it. This will force the blades to bite closer together. Seems to work better cutting pliable things.

I too like the Lime Twist. Another one I've never seen before. Collecting 58mms is definitely a rabbit hole. Good luck in there!   :cheers:

Great collection of Champs!  :like:

Of all the cellidor SAKs, the champ is my go to. A lot of people say it's too big to be an edc. I think it's about the perfect size, definitely not any larger than a pliers based multitool.
It's my EDC of choice when out and about. It's like the Mini Champ - large for it's size, but not large at all for everything it can do. Why not carry it?

The hard part was figuring out the best way to carry it. I decided there wasn't a "best" way and rotate between 5th jeans pocket, suspension clip, or belt pouch, depending on what I'm wearing. OK, if I'm wearing dress slacks, the Champ stays home. (But I'll still have my Mini Champ with me.)
SAKs:
58mm: Bijou (3), Classic SD (7), Mini Champ Plus (mod), Alox Classic SD, Rambler (3), Companion
65mm: Wenger Esquire
74mm: Executive
85mm: Evolution S557, Traveler,
91mm: Champion "c", Swiss Champ (4), Explorer (3), Deluxe Tinker, Huntsman, Serrated Spartan/Weekender, Explorer Plus, Deluxe Explorer Plus (mod), Outdoorsman Plus, Champion "a", Champion Plus, Timekeeper Alarm, Golfer
93mm: Pioneer Alox
