Ever notice how the soldier model never seems to wear? Mine looks almost new on the outside, same goes with its walk and talk.
It's got some dings here and there, but they just add character. The alox is a lot smoother around the edges than it was seven years ago and the blade has a few scratches from sharpening.
But it's as tight as the day I bought it, and the walk and talk are perfect.
Every time I clean it the thought that I could buff those scratches and dings out and have the scales looking brand new crosses my mind. But I don't want those scratches and dings to go away.
I find myself playing with this knife more than any other if I'm sitting around doing nothing. I don't necessarily open and close the blades, but I'll spin it around between my fingers absently. I guess it's almost become like a security blanket maybe, or a worry stone... no matter where I am, it's there. It's comforting and I love feeling its weight in the bottom of my pocket.
I don't know what I'd do if I ever lost this knife.
So yeah... it's my favorite SAK.
