My sak is just waiting, for something to do, on my Esky in my tractor cab. The magnet screwed to my Esky lid holds my knife steady while I'm sitting at the wheel.

I grew up summers in North Dakota working on the farm. Farmers are the most inventive and ingenious people on the planet and what I learned there has helped me all through life maybe that's what endears us so much to SAKS

I'm a 3rd generation Australian farmer and living 40km (24-25 miles) from the nearest shop a bit of a moto our family has is, sometimes you just have to use what ya got, and for me it's always a sakThat is an awesome application S.O.W
Self isolation is something we have practiced for 102 years.
Toting the 'yellow-Evo' for today's lift.
Few questions: How durable is the grip portion? Does it make the knife hard to get out of the pocket? Does it add thickness to the regular Evolution handles?

Today with an old executive.
Wow!
Do you have an approximate date on that beauty?
Those exposed pins and old solid cellidor go way way back.

84 mm Tinker again today, the one without tweezer and toothpick. The small Tinker has become a favorite of late, I just really like the size and tools provided
The one without the tweezer and toothpick is an 80's version with the square phillips with tin can slot down the middle. I recently saw in a whittling book how the author modified the pen for more detailed work. I've done that to the two pictured as well as removed the keychain and absolutely enjoy carrying and using this knife
One of my all time favorite blade shapes is the unique wharncliffe/pen the Case 62032 sports and the modified pen on the Tinker closely matches the Case secondary blade
