Our neighbor went on a European vacation one year, and brought me back an SAK from Switzerland, it's a tinker and she had my name engraved on it. I praise it highly and have only carried it about a half dozen times, just enought to scuff it up a little. She's a special lady, a 78 year old widow that put herself and the youngest daughter through collage after her husband died. She was in her late 40's and she did all this by sewing! She's finally talking about MAYBE retiring in 2011.
