Funky SAK scales: How come the Classic gets all the fun?

[mnblade]

I'm really liking some of the funky new scales on the Vic Classic, like the green rainbow Tie Dye Classic, and blue and red Static Classics.

Wouldn't it be great if we could at least buy funky replacement scales like these for larger models too? (If we could get 'em for the 84mm models, I'd be in heaven. Hell, I wish they sold anything besides red for those. )

Probab ly because they make more classics than any other model knife. Between companies putting sales logo on them, sales in non-knife friendly countrys like Japan and the UK, and non-knife people buying them because they don't really want a knife, but know they need a sharp tool once in a while so they buy a keychain model.

A few years back it made the cover of one of the knife magazines, as the most confiscated knife at airports.

I believe the classic is the modern 'pen knife' of our time.

Their are some really cute models for the Japanese market , including one with the front half of a dog on one scale , and the a$$ end on the reverse .

Classics lend themselves to whimsey .
