    They say that any advertising is good if your name is spelled right.  With a name like mine, perhaps this isn’t an arguement I should get into since no one ever spells my name right!  However a great man (Marshall McLuhan, Author of Understanding Media) once said that the medium is the message, and so the question remains- What message are you sending when your company gives SAK knockoffs?


This Classic Knockoff is plainly inferior, even to the untrained eye

    This month’s Collection Highlight is one of the oddest SAKs you are likely to encounter.  It has no official name but many SOSAK members refer to it amusingly as “The Toilet Paper SAK.”


    Upsets like this years KOTY vote don't happen anywhere but in the movies- and apparently in The Secret Order of Swiss Army Knives!  After an amazing start the Wenger S557 model seemed like the obvious winner, with a full 50% of the votes.

Even though summer has barely started in my neck of the woods I have already been quite busy putting the various Swiss Army Knives in my collection to work.  While there hasn't been any life saving jobs done with them (yet) they have proved invaluable for many more minor jobs.


While it may not be visible, the Wenger Backpacker was an excellent companion to my Tilley hat and Casio G-Shock on this excursion

SOSAKOnline may look like a one man show sometimes, but in fact it takes a team of good folks helping out to bring you this site, a popular forum and many, many great offers.  Here's your chance to learn a bit about each of the SOSAKOnline Admin Team Members!

    It's been two years now since we launched SOSAKOnline and it's been a heck of a ride.  The site has gone through a few changes over the last couple of years from an extension of the discussions at Knifeforums.com to a serious site of it's own, and it wouldn't have done that without support from everyone.



    July's SAK of the Month is a fairly common choice, and a model that no collection is complete without.  The one thing I always wanted to add to my trusty old Camper was scissors- enter the Huntsman!


    Often I am asked what the use of a small SAK like a Classic, Rambler, Esquire or Swisscard is.  After all, the blade is so small it really can't be good for much, right?


What good is a small SAK like this SwissCard Quattro?

    As promised in a previous Collection Highlights article (Camper, April 07) I am featuring my father's old Champion model with FINBATT UNDOF marked on the scales.


My name is Chris (Inkster) and I am an admin here on SOSAKOnline and I often back up Def with moderation duties in the SOSAK Forum. I originally started out on Knifeforums.com and eventually I joined SOSAK.  Right around the same time Grant (Def) and I became good friends.
