Years ago Victorinox offered a set of SAKs with pinstripe scales. I believe they where Spartans and they came in blue, red, green, black and pink. I’m still looking for that complete set, but I did manage to find an orange one. Not part of the same set – this one was a custom scale […]

Updated group photo of most of the translucent scale colours, excluding the colours used in the 58mm line. Note that the two onyx SAKs used to be quite different from each other a few years ago or even just two years ago when I took another group pic of several translucent scale colours. They have

You may have a hard time seeing them, but there really are 16 camo SAKs in this picture.
I’m Dutch and I like orange SAKs. The CamoFun and Digital Camo ones are in fact white while the other five are actual orange SAKs in five distinct shades/colors. Most of these are quite rare.

Victorinox introduced the soft grip scales in 2009 with the Climber Road Tour. I think this Tinker, along with a ruby soft grip Spartan,

I bought these two SAKs on a trip to the United States. The one with the stars and stripes scales is a Super Tinker I bought in Portland, Oregon. The Boeing one is a Climber, bought at the Boeing plant in Everett.
The 84mm Tinker (or Tinker Small) is the smaller version of the very popular Tinker model. The Tinker is closely related to the Spartan: the only difference is that the Tinker has a back mounted Phillips screwdriver instead of a corkscrew. This particular Tinker is pretty old, given that the Phillips has a square shaft
