Need another knife/fork SAK

Patapsco Mike · Nov 5, 2004

My German uncle gave me a SAK that has just two blades- a knife and fork. When you open the knife, you can use the whole thing as a regular knife. When you open the fork tool, the two scales split apart, leaving you with a separate knife and (very functional) fork to eat with. It's a fantastic camping tool. Several of my camping buddies want one, but I have never seen another SAK like it.

Can anyone out there help me find another.

There is a slipjoint style knife called a Hobo that has a knife and fork in it. Not sure if the fork seperates though, as I have never handled one. Might be worth looking into.

Find it here

It's made by Ka-bar.

The Hobo looks cool, thanks. I personally am partial to SAK's, but my friends might not care.

There are plenty similar around in a wide range of qualities and prices, see some here:

But I have never seen any true SAKs, that is, made by Victorinox or Wenger.

What brand is yours ?.

Might be the Richarz Picknick knife.

Took a closer look- it's not a true SAK. It says only INOX Solingen Germany on the blades. It's a well put together knife though, and a dead ringer for a SAK in blade shape and overall construction.

I got some at Wal-Mart which split in 2 when the spoon and fork are opened. They were pretty cheap, maybe $8 (?). They are in the camping gear and not in front of me. I think it had K,F and S plus corkscrew, bottle/can hook. I also got a slightly smaller one from my (German) father in law which is similar but with a 'jelly' spoon. That one is a TCM brand. The Wal-Mart ones I will modify to make them fold a little flatter as the utensils seem to have an excess of space.
