Looking to ID and old SAK

[neocacher]

i have a SAK about 20-30 years old. It looks EXACTLY like the current MECHANIC, but has the scissors attached also, as well as the pliers. No hook. Looking for the model name if possible. Thanks.

A Mechanic plus scissors and hook is a Deluxe Tinker. Maybe thats what you have. Its one of the more common and well-liked SAKs. Link.

There is NO hook. Like i said, it is exactly a mechanic with a scissors.

Sounds like an older Deluxe Tinker, from before the hook was added to the scissor layer.

The "Deluxe Tinker Original" had no hook, and the scissors were held together with a screw instead of rivet. There's a site that shows it, but I can't link to it because I think its violative of the forum rules. Neocacher, PM me if you would like for me to pass it along. Thanks.

THANK YOU Powernoodle and Alexi, makes sense if you know it was added at some point! I certainly can not remember when exactly I bought it or what the name was at the time. And yes, my scissors has a screw, not a rivet.
