Where did you buy it? I'm having trouble getting a source to pop up on Google.

Aug 6, 2011 at 6:08 pm #1766769Aug 6, 2011 at 6:19 pm #1766771I found the same photo website where they show off their cool work… no info on ordering, though. I dig those damascus steel blades.
Aug 6, 2011 at 6:23 pm #1766774it's in their newsletter here

to order you need to email Roger at [email protected] to check for availability
they do their knives in small runs- had to wait quite awhile before the bushcrafters came up again
Aug 6, 2011 at 6:33 pm #1766780Swiss Bianco makes some interesting stuff. I like a knife like this paired with a Victorinox Classic to get scissors, tweezers and toothpick. These alox-handled versions have a thicker main blade than the other Victorinox models of the same size.
Other off-the-shelf versions with saws:
Victorinox Farmer — like Mike's version with added screwdriver/bottle opener and can opener.
Victorinox Hiker– with plastic scales (handles)
Victorinox Fieldmaster — has more blades and scissors
Victorinox One-hand Trekker— larger 111mm frame and locking blade
Wenger Handyman– with more blades and scissors
Aug 6, 2011 at 6:35 pm #1766782I have a one handed trekker but its a little bulky. I like the Anox knives because of the slim profile. Thanks for pointing this one out!

Aug 6, 2011 at 6:57 pm #1766787My old Stayglow collection. If you can't tell, I like Swiss Army knives :)
Aug 6, 2011 at 6:59 pm #1766789Dale, what's the battery life like on those cases?! ;)

Aug 6, 2011 at 7:01 pm #1766791Fully charged, I get 0.5kw out of the bunch :)
Aug 6, 2011 at 7:30 pm #1766795nice collection Dale! you got me looking and I see they have a green alox classic, might have to start a collection of my own :)
Aug 7, 2011 at 5:21 am #1766847+1 what Dale said. If it had scissors it'd be perfect for me.
I forgot my trekking pole, and had to use an axe to fashion one. All I know is I suck using an axe and that saw would have really come in handy. Thanks for the post.
..actually that Wenger Handyman looks like what I need. 3.1 oz.
Aug 7, 2011 at 6:01 am #1766854I wonder if you can drill out the factory rivets, replace the awl with scissors from another SA knife and rivet it all back together. Hmmmmm….
Aug 7, 2011 at 6:45 am #1766857Do they make a lockblade knife with a saw, scissors, toothpick and tweezers ??

there are some daring folks that mod their SAK's removing layers, replacing bits, etc- you can get the stuff here to do it (pins/tools, etc)
