Well for the last two years i bought atleast 12 saks combined. This christmas i wanted a sog twitch 2 spring assisted knife. well a month later the spring is broken........... a sak has never failed on me like that. Shame on you sog! now this month im getting for saks
an executive, red farmer and a blue farmer. 2marro i am going to amazon to replace my sog twitch 2. only not with another twitch.

Amazing how reliable they are isn't it? I have handled well over 1,000 used SAKs and the rate of spring failure is nominal. The few I've seen are on particularly old models that had smaller, more frail springs, but all the modern SAKs from the 80's and up are remarkably durable. If you want a single blade that snaps open like the SOGs, unfortunately Victorinox doesn't really offer anything. The 111mm single blades like the Sentinel are a little big for what they are.



Out of curiosity, what SAK models do you have? 12?!! I thought I was the only one around here with that kind of sickne... er I mean, obsession with owning all the same SAK's Mac had

ha. i have a green cadet, silver cadet, recruit, alox soldier, tinker, hiker, 1980s climber, 19802 fisherman with a can key built into the screw driver, i have a limited edition tinker, champion plus, classic, and the rescue tool. lol im 15 but i buy saks instead of video games

Hey if you go to Amazon through our store or this link we'll get a small commission from your purchase to help towards the costs of the site.

Shameless promotion I know.. but have to pay the bills somehow.

As for the quality, yeah you really can't beat Victorinox. I brought a Wenger SAK once and was thoroughly unimpressed by it. In my opinion Wenger is only a few steps up from those cheap Chinese knock-offs.

Victorinox all the way!

Victorinox is magnificent. "Lifetime Guarantee" -- it doesn't get much more solid than that. When I first got my Swiss Memory, I was astonished -- I'd gotten so accustomed, over the years, to the typical standards of so-called quality in most of the world. It had been years since the last time I'd seen something that was manufactured with such uncompromising quality.

With all the different models he had, I almost wonder if he periodically headed down to the hardware store and went crazy with the Phoenix credit card:

Victorinox has never failed me all theses years.
