Please forgive me my ignorance ... but why do call this topic "Ersatz SAKs"? Is there another meaning of "Ersatz" in english language? I just know it as Ersatz with the same meaning as "Replacement". Just curious... and not I hardly own any of this kind of knives... don´t know why though.
I really like the Mikov. One of the best non swiss pocket knives. Where did you get it, and price??
Indeed... I don´t want to derail the thread, but I just wanted some clarification.
How are the pliers on the Aitor knives? I see a 108mm ish Aitor on Amazon for $40 that has pliers, and I'm kind of considering getting it.
Wonderful knives! Very tough but some reports of backsprings breaking but those are offset by the comment that some GI's could tear up anything. Generally seen as great by those that use/own them.Mine. (Image removed from quote.)

(Image removed from quote.)They also tend to be finger nail removers.The over-size bail allowed the knife to be slipped onto the handle of a mess kit along with other utensils for cleaning in a can of hot soapy water.
I have a bunch of crappy CAKs (Chinese Army Knives) but none are worth posting.I definitely want to add a Camillus US Army knife to my collection at some point, but waiting for a good deal there.(Image removed from quote.)Anyone here have these? Thoughts?
