Yet Another Sak Tool Collectors Cornucopia

First off, Crumby needs to allow that nobody else bid on the sak we are now discussing.  Nobody.   Possibly, many might have bid if the vendor had better described its virtues.  But who knows.  The Bay can be confounding.

Crumby bid on this knife because the EBAY photos appeared to feature a Phillips with a square corner and an old style fine screwdriver .  He also hoped that the fish scaler was magnetized, but he had no way of knowing that.  When the sak arrived at the CB, Crumby discovered that it did indeed feature an old Phillips with can opener slit, an old fine screwdriver and a magnetized fish scaler.  But that wasn't all.  Check out the nail nick location on the metal file and the curly q teeth on the saw.  Then too, there is no tang on the backside of the main blade.  Also, this knife has the aluminum tweezer.  Wow!  Plus,  the tools, though very dirty, are almost unused.  The model name is probably Craftsman maybe.
