Discontinued today.

I have one, just emailed someone about doing some G10 scales for it. Probably get another as backup at some point. Great knife, very lightweight and sturdy.

What's the name\model of that one?

 

[APS]

I believe that one's called the Solo.

It's a shame another model is being discontinued, but perhaps a substitute is the gardener model that Victorinox still offers (it's half an inch bigger at 4 inches):

or the sentry:

or the solo alox:

or the pocket pal or secretary, if you don't mind 2 blades:

The Solo is $5.99 at SMKW. Is that the regular or closeout price?

I don't really 'Collect' SAKs, but I sometimes make an exception for a discontinued model on a super-bargain closeout.

Do you have a link for that story? I've heard this before but it was wrong.

The 108mm Solo is a great knife. I bought 4 on the last 'scare' so I wouldn't run out

No link. I ordered three from an Internet dealer (Ira W.) yesterday who phoned me to say that the red solo was discontinued and that he would send me his last two red solos.

Bob, get a few they're $5.99. Throw in a few Tramontina machetes they're

also $5.99. A few Mora Clippers $7.99 for carbon & $9.99 for stainless. If

you can build it up to $100 with some other purchases you may like, the

shipping is free.

The site sell some things higher than others, but they also sell some things

cheaper. You need to search around for example, I was just under the $100

mark by a few dollars, so I bought a few .99 cent ceramic crock sticks.

Search the site for the "Tennessee Big Stick " One of the best deals they

have and just what I needed to keep my blades just hair popping sharp.

Basically just look around and buy a mess of inexpensive "sleepers" and

affordable gifts for family and friends for the price of a high quality fixed blade or folder.

It's a pity, they are great knives. Glad I stocked up.

I wish I'd done that with the Safari/GAK knives. Only have two of those.
