SAK was the one I could never figure out...a bunch of guys chatting about their 2 and 3 inch red saks, then some guys had blue saks. I had to check I was on the right websight.

Actually I got that after seeing it a few times and thinking it was some term for a big bowie all purpose knife with everything you need to live for a year hidden in the handle. Then it just dawned on me.

Context is a wonderful thing.

Enjoy your new hobby, there are so many directions you go in the knife world, you can happily spend the rest of your life learning about it.

Not to be confused with SWAK. Which is the Frosts (of Sweden) stainless Craftsman or Swedish Army Knife.
