    I love a knife with a "history!" You just can't beat an SAK for useful longevity. I have a Victorinox Camper that I purchased in an open-air market in Saudi Arabia in 1962 or 63, for 7 rials - about $1.50. (My dad worked for an oil company. He bought the same knife at the same time, and I still have his as well!) I was about 7 years old, and it was my 2nd pocketknife. It has plenty of scratches and scars but is still in perfect working condition, and I still carry it sometimes. The memories associated with that knife are wonderful! (I also still have my 1st pocketknife, a little 2-bladed jack knife that I bought for maybe a dollar a year earlier from another kid in my Minnestoa neighborhood, but it's not usable anymore.)

    Hi Mat, love what you doing with the channel and knife community.
    Love SAK’s, been carrying one almost daily for 35 years, often with a “main blade” slip joint. Really nice to still have you first knife. I still have one of my first SAK’s. I got a “recruit” & a “huntsman” at the same time (from a local old fashioned hardware shop, sadly now long gone) unfortunately I managed to loose the recruit about 20 years ago but still have the huntsman. All the best Sean

    Nice review and nice to have such a sentimental piece. I've carried SAKs for almost 45 years. They were the original ' multitool'. I prefer the phillip driver over the corkscrew and carried a Super Tinker for years. Now I give SAKs to my grandkids as gifts occasionally in hopes they'll come to appreciate the simplified satisfaction of always having the ability to handle life's little surprises. Great video Slippy 👍

    Thanks for sharing about your first SAK, very nice story and lovely gift from father to son. ☺ I agree with you about the scissors, they are the #1 tool that gets used on my Super Tinker, 2nd would be the small blade as a good package opener and general utility blade. It's a shame I didn't know you needed a replacement keyring for it, before I sent my latest stickers over to you; I could've tossed a few in the envelope since I have a bunch laying around. 😐 Anyway, take care my friend and Cheers!

    Your knife has held up well the scales still look new, I have a silver tech Huntsman new in the box it’s
    good to know how durable those scales are. Maybe you should get blue scale tools to match your
    pin.

    Wondered who else bought the Silvertecs, you don't often hear them mentioned. I bought a Silvertec Spartan a few years ago just because I thought it just looked right. Never used it as I've had a Camper for years and it had the tool set I used at the time. That's my SAK with the history and looks a little battered.

    The Climber was the first SAK I purchased for myself. Even though I have many in my collection without them, I think a proper SAK should have scissors. They are so useful! So that knife had the pin hole but no pen? EDIT: Funny, in America your father or grandfather gets you your first knife when you're around 10 years old. 😎

      No, the pin hole is also in the regular scales, but there is no pin in them. You have to add it yourself. Plus scales however come with pin and pen.
