Badge-Request: Birthyear-SAK(s)

on: May 03, 2016, 05:44:45 PM

Hey SAKoholics!

It all started about ten years ago with the sudden need for a SAK with my birthyear stamped on it... Of course it needed to be a Vic and of course non of the ones traceable on certain online-auction sites actually matched with my monetary situation. So about 8 years ago I was overjoyed to get my birthyear-SAK. But the query kept on working, and from time to time I got a SAK that looked a bit more pristine than the last one.
So it turned out that I have a couple of them now- they should last a lifetime ;-)

Sláinte!
Tomcat

P.S: On the lowermost 81er you can see how I carry it- the paracord gets looped through one of the belt-thingys on my trousers. Works well and is almost unloseable

I "need" a '53.
Thought that it would be next to impossible to find, then saw a FS for one here last week. Missed out buying it by about 10 minutes

sorry grandpa!

I need a '79, though I do have a 1979 Camillus "Demo" knife.

Nice set of '81's Tomcat.

I think you only need one for the badge.

Have mine, a '62, and still looking for my daughter's, an '88. Found some DAKs the right year, but the '88 Vics come up less often.

Maybe you could carry two 1930s? Or one 1929 (first ones with stamp) and a '31 ?

Very nice set!

I'll award your first badge for free.

From now you'll need to request them like a big boy by following the instructions in my signature.
