So I chose two more things. This beautiful unbranded fix blade and a really stuck Hunstsman with the economy scales. SAK otherwise seems pretty unused, it just needs a long soak, scrub and maybe a bit of oil. The fixblade has one of the better factory sheaths I've seen - really thick leather, good design.



I've gathered all the things I wanted to place in the box and packed it. It is ready to go on it's way to the next participant.
I'd appreciate any info on the black "scouts" knife that I choosed from the box in the previous post.

I Just sent it, it's been ready all week but the price for such a heavy package surprised me so I was looking around to find an affordable yet secure way to send it. Turned out for that size and weight DHL Economy was the choice for me, DPD were few euros cheaper but I am not their greatest fan.

My second choices are SAK related (I’m mostky SAK user).
First choice is the Cadet. I do not have a Cadet in my collection so this is a very nice addition. I did one change to the knife. The original owner and kind donor to the GAW painted the knife with mint green nail polish. I prefer simple silver so I removed it with polish remover, turns out nicely (sorry, I forgot to take a picture before the removal and no disrespect to the previous owner - just prefer the silver).
The second one is more loosely SAK related. It is EKA Sweden knife and if I am not mistaken it was part of the EKA Wenger collaboration - wood collection and per Sakwiki info this should be EKA Wood Camper (https://sakwiki.com/show_image.php?id=3175). At the same time the single layer SAKs are one of my favourite SAKs so it is great to have this large Waiter in my collection, with the beautiful bubinga scales! The tip of the blade is slightly bent and there is one more deformation on the edge (probably some prying attempt) but I do not mind - it is ok if knife is used or even slightly abused, it is a tool afterall!

Not offended. I thought a second to remove the nail polish my self before sending it away, but left it there.  Good thing about nail polish is that it's easy to remove.

SAK is always great choice  :climber: and EKA is sweet too.
