Salute the SAK 125th Anniversary

Thanks Bob, very cool!! I was an auto mechanic my whole life and I have carried a fairly large SAK for years. I suppose I should say many SAKs for many years as I do lose them now and again.

I bought one of these the day it came out. They are beautifully built and lovely to behold.

SAK also makes a nifty pocket sharpener which is especially useful for small blades as one might find on a SAK. But it can also be used for larger blades as well.

I have several SAK's but I don't carry any of them. I'm hooked on Alox, which I find aesthetically pleasing so they make up the lion's share of my little SAK accumulation,.

Re: Salute the SAK 125th Anniversary
Like you Jerry, I only have a few SAKs and there is not a red one in the bunch.
This is the one most commonly found with me because of its nail file.

Re: Salute the SAK 125th Anniversary
We’ve got several SAKs around the house and over the years I have learned to appreciate them a lot more. I applaud any company that has been in business 125 years!
On a personal note, there was a stigma attached to carrying a Swiss Army knife when I was a young buck. The old fellers, the cow hunters, the farmers and ranchers only recognized a stockman or a trapper made by maybe Case or “Tree brand” as a real knife worthy of anyone’s right front Levi pocket.
I can understand a SAK not being the most handy knife working in a cow pen during “marking & branding” activities but the tweezers and small scissors are very handy in more “civilized” settings. My personal favorite SAK is the single 3/4 blade florist knives that are so light and easy to carry around the house.
That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it.
