Phosphorescent Yellow
on: January 21, 2025, 08:16:04 PM
Diving into the rabbit hole of past purchases and remembering a SAK I bought my then girlfriend (now wife) around 2008 ish.

From memory it was a Huntsman (nothing strange there) but it had phosphorescent yellow scales, much like the current Rescue Tool.



Thing is I can't find any reference to this being available either then or now, and there is no mention of this colour in the SAKWiki colour page.

So am I just missing something or can anyone help me with some history about scales this colour?

These scales are glow-in-the-dark nylon, commonly referred to as Stayglow.

AFAIK, they only came from the factory on three different models:  RescueTool, Climber, and Classic, though scale swaps to other models were/are common.  You will find it referenced in SAKwiki on the RescueTool and Climber model pages.

Here are a Climber and Rambler with Stayglow scales…

Thanks Nate, It may have been a Climber I bought her now I think of it. It definitely had the scissors but may not have had the saw.
Sadly it's lost now so unless it turns up I can't check.

Nate is correct. I hope the SAK turns up soon! And I will get to doing a Stayglow scale swap... eventually.
