A Hobby Bonanza or Cornucopia


Crumby's sedentary hobby, sak collecting,  took a new direction when Crumby realized that the designs of the many sak tools have evolved or changed over the course of a few decades.  Like for example the tools on this particular 1968-1973 Spartan are way devolved compared to the modern equivalents.  Some might opine, devolved for the better.  Here's why!

The old sak is 6g heftier at 65g than its descendant. The main blade is thicker or fatter.  The bottle opener features a wire stripper.  The can opener has a tang stamp.  The groovy corkscrew makes five revolutions, not four.  And the small blade is a totally different shape.  Course the reamer is the one without the sewing eye, but Crumby already had that iteration in his collection.

So this one Spartan features five new tools for Crumby's collection, and incredible bang for the buck.  Hmm. Crumby wishes he hadn't broached that topic, bang for bucks.  Cause from now on,  the acquisition of more old or even older tool iterations  is liable to have the fixed income ovate in a poor house.
