Both had the usual can opener and bottle opener and old style awl without an eyehole. And feel free to email me at is Frankenknife. Click either link to visit my sites about those topics. And I built an interesting simulation of The Prisoner's Dilemma. I hope you enjoy visiting.īTW, I also collect Calculators and Slide Rules. I lost and replaced a series of those!Īt 60, I found out that with some tools and patience, one can disassemble and reassemble a SAK, and thought 'awesome!' So I bought some new and used ones on eBay, and set out to see what I could do.

So I got a Classic SD and that, on my keychain, became basically the only thing I needed on a regular basis. When in jeans I typically carried one on a carabiner clipped to a belt loop, but I didn't have an EDC for work wear until some time in my late 30s when I realized I'd look more professional if I started taking better care of my nails.

I replaced it, lost that, and then got a couple more that I held onto for a long time (see more below). It got lost on a hiking trip at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore when I was 18. It was a 91mm, in classic red, which I think at the time was ALL there was. I got my first one when I was 13, and I actually bought it in Switzerland. When I was a little boy, Swiss Army Knives were the coolest thing since slicing bread.
