Got my first sak in 1968, and have been hooked ever since. Mt first sak was a huntsman, and I carried it for about 10 years. Then I went for a tinker, and that went for several years. A Wenger SI has been around as an edc till about a year ago, when I discovered the bantam. I have come to love the minimalist bantam. Slim single layer, a blade to cut with, and a combo tool that really does replace two tools in one blow. I just may try the alox bantam.
Also as a second knife, I've had a classic on my keyring for about 10 years. I used to disdain the little classic, but my better half showed me the light. It all started when her company bought a bunch of them to put thier logo on and of course she put one on her keychain.
Over the course of the next year, I watched in horror as she put that knife to tasks that I would have hesitated to use my tinker for, and it survived. Then I did an experiment, I put one on my keyring, and when a pocket knife chore came up, I made myself reach first for the classic to see if I could get it done with the little thing. For 99% of what I needed a pocket knife for, the classic did just fine. Only short commings were with food stuff and the blade being just too small, and whittling or woodcrafts around camp, it was just too small a grip to cut through wood. So now I've come from a tinker or Wenger SI with my classic on keyring as a team, to a bantam and classic teamed up.
I love sak's, and they just make sense. The tools really work, and I've fixed things ranging from a ceiling fan in the bathroom to a '66 BMW R60's ignition plate with a sak.
Whatever other knife I will be carrying for the heck of it, there will ALWAYS be a sak on me someplace. Like the credit card, I just don't leave home without it!
Thats my story, and I'm stickin to it!
