Which SAK(s) do you consider to be the centerpiece of your collection?

Marc is struggling with his computer...

 

Yes I was doing a survey for the phone company...I bought an iPhone X last night...to go with my MTO red Pioneer X...


Got confused with my attachments

It appears to be a “climber” , the only pic of a “traveler” I can find has the scissor pivot on the opposite site. I am certain, when comparing pictures on SAKWIKI that my example is a climber with the long nail file.

LNF even?
Wow!

I thought the only difference between the Traveler and Climber was the lack of a keyring...

Black, 80's Traveler.
Gold, Climber

And also the “hook”, in later models...

My example came with a box... # 1.3722 ?

The “old” climber, with the long nail file, in SAKWIKI doesn’t appear to have a key ring either??

Perhaps someone else can chime in and clarify this?

I would put the Soldiers/SI as the centerpiece, in particular, my birth year '57.

My Tinker is the centerpiece. It was my first SAK, from my grandparents and it holds alot of feeling to me. Not the rarest or anything but its still my favorite.

That's in beautiful condition!

I understand that completely.

So many beautiful SAKs, here are my contributions.
This would have been my centerpiece knife as it was my first Victorinox, a Camper.   I cherished it each day, but ultimately it fell out of my pocket at a movie theater.

I do consider this 84mm 246ka Small Huntsman as my current centerpiece, top left in photo.

I consider this a centerpiece knife of mine as it is not very common.  A 236fa Angler Plus.

Since you limited it to three, I picked those above, but any of these could have been contenders and I don't want them to feel slighted:

Awlsome! 

For me it would be the Battle Series.

Impressive!

I consider one of the center pieces of any SAK collection should be the unique 2010 Soldier. Twenty-five of these were issued w/the following on the scale: "1291" w/the Swiss flag in color between numbers 12 & 91, and on the blade, below the thumb hole, "25/nn." I remember Tim had a hard time selling the few he had ordered. I wonder what they're worth today.

 

108mm Mauser - a discontinued model I'd only seen photos of and dreamed about, never thinking I'd walk into a local knife store that was selling a deceased collector's collection on-commission for the estate. It was mint in box with papers for $45.

93mm  Old Cross Farmer - this is the real centre piece of my collection, for me anyway. It was my grail knife since I went camping as a 13 y/o with a group of friends, and one of the older boys had this red metal knife with a white/silver cross on it. When they discontinued that style, I bought one with the new shield, but it wasn't quite the same. I got this one mint in box in the same estate sale for $40.

91mm Swiss Bianco Yeoman - chosen because it supplanted the Compact from it's 8 year reign on my altar of utility. I put on the blue plus scales.



Great thread. I've really enjoyed seeing everyone's knives! Thanks everybody.

Good deal on the Mauser!

One dealer who had more then one??

I suppose I know this dealer...

Good solid choice!
