Wow, $8.95 was a steal! Today, I'm lucky if I can find a surplus dealer who wants less than $20, and it's not guaranteed that it will be in halfway decent condition; and it's highly unlikely you'll have the saw cover. I recall many finding them for $5 or so in the early 2000s.

However, wouldn't these technically be a Pathfinder? And, I'm wondering about the scale color. These don't appear to have the cross like the Pathfinder, and they appear to possibly be black or OD green.

I love stuff like this.  The price of fine mechanical watches from this era is also breathtaking.

However, i did look up the value of a 1981 dollar (USD) and it's worth $3.02 today.  So, I guess this would be sort of like finding a brand new surplus 108 mm GAK for $27 today.  If I did, I'd buy a couple!

 :iagree: on both counts! I loved the magazine.  It's still available in digital format only.  I was just thinking about putting my 108 GAK to work.

And surely you would use the blade to cut rope not the saw!  :think:
Still would have been all over this though. I just shoehorned a mil-etc GAK combo tool into a pioneer and it’s a great thing but my victorinox one is staying in one piece even though it’s clearly seen quite a lot of action!

For many years, SAK saws were, in fact, marketed as a type of serrated blade  capable of cutting rope from what I've seen in catalogs. They may work pretty well on thick, old-fashioned rope made from stiffer (and especially natural) braided materials, but on most modern cordage that has an outer sheath with many internal strands, it sucks.
