Gifted on my 12th birthday by my late father, cherished every day since. Has resided in my right-front pocket nearly every single day minus flights, and a few days in a lake before getting fished out and wiped off. Original ballpoint pen still works, scissors razor sharp despite nearly daily use, magnifying glass crystal clear. Logo chipped off about a decade ago, otherwise a true Champ.

Scales were in a little worse shape than I thought but I don't have this color made another midnight Mini champ.

New Synergy X + T-shirt = $45. Synergy is probably going into my collection. Looks great btw.

Dropped it in a field a couple of years ago and a colleague found it today.

Hey yall, first SAK since I was a little kid. I had bought this on eBay, which the listing said “manager” and had pictures of a manager as well. This is what I received today in the mail. Can anyone help identity this for me? Much appreciated!

I may keep it but I doubt it. I don’t ever see myself carrying this but maybe leaving it in a car or backpack. Not sure how to approach the return/refund or whatever will happen. This unit is just too large for my liking. Also missing the (I assume) toothpick.

I’m trying do do my first custom which is just a deluxe tinker with a small file swapped for the small blade and the can opener swapped for the box cutter. However while peening it shut the rivets are turning crooked. Does anyone know what’s going on or how to fix it?

I got this vintage classic wenger SAK from a yard sale and the scissor spring doesn’t really work.

I tried researching any solutions but I couldn’t find any replacement parts or explanations on how to fix it.

No lanyard ring, tweezers or toothpick. Have had since 94

Got this watch, very light very nice

Those are my new EDC SAKs. I gave my trusty rambler (or should I say manager) new ruby scales and recently got the synergy x as daily (rambler for support). I kind of like the synergy so far. I regularly switch between companion, pioneer X and now the synergy x.

I used to collect these with my allowance when I was around 10 years old but fell out of the hobby a long time ago (I’m 25 now). I gradually lost most of them over the years through moves and other life events. But, I was on vacation recently and saw these inside of a knife shop. I just had to pick them up to relive some memories. Not sure if I’ll start collecting again but these do bring a smile to my face every time I look at them.
