What SAK are ya totin' today?

Today, I am carrying a late 1960's 84mm Tinker that I rescued from the scrap box. When I got the tinker its liners were so oxidized that I could hardly open the blades and implements. I disassembled the knife, cleaned up the implements, replaced the main blade as it was trashed. I also added replacement liners from the parts box and pinned on some buffalo horn scales. I figured this rescue knife deserves some pocket time.

This lives here, so not carrying it every day, just when I'm using the truck, which is most days anyway.
Spare glass saw and window breaker in the glove box.
(Wish there was a pocket on the side of the sheath to carry spares though)

Has been called upon a few times.
Two people are alive today thanks to my having it when it was needed, worth every cent I paid for it.:thumbsup:

Victorinox Economy Camper.
This was a birthday gift from the girl next door in the early 90's.
I have this one with me always, no matter what other folder or fixed blade I have with me.

Used to save a young lady trapped in burning car wreck back in 2004.
Small blade was used to make a hole in her throat so she could breathe, hole was kept open with a McDonalds plastic straw.
(Her head was squashed by the roof against the glove box and couldn't breathe)
Used the saw to cut away the plastic and get her out.
Today she is fit and healthy, with just a tiny little scar to show for my "surgery".:thumbsup:
