Greetings 
Thanks to this forum I managed to identify my SAK, I don't know if its common to discuss the story of your knives on here but I thought I would post a bit about my knife and its history.
My Dad bought us both one while we were on a trip to Singapore in 1984 or early 1985 I'm not sure which. Sadly he has long since lost his but I have managed to keep mine in fairly constant use for the last 33 years or so. I was 19 when he bought them and I'm 52 now so I look at it as something of an old friend, it's a little bit battered and bruised but every single item works as it should. It's never been far from my side in all of those years and has covered more miles and visited more countries than I can count. I was cleaning it yesterday as it was getting a little stiff and wondered if I could identify it. I knew it had been superceded as I've seen other similar models with more features over the years (some of them useful, some I suspect, not so much!) Anyway, I was able to track it down to the correct model of SAK Champion with Chisel which is nice to know I had honestly thought that the chisel was a screwdriver as to the best of my memory it has never been sharp and looks as though it has never had an edge on it were they supplied sharp or has it just lost all sembalance of an edge over the years?
I can't remember the purchase price but I seem to have vague memories of arounf $100 singapore dollars. I'm not sure how much that was in 1984 but what ever it was it has been exceptional value for money and a true testament to the quality of the brand.
Cheers
Tim
