Pronounce it...

How do you pronounce Sako?

I have always used SAY-CO.
The other day on a hunting program the hunter used SAW-CO to tell the TV world what rifle he was using.


Just curious.

I say "SAY-CO", but the correct pronunciation, according to a Finnish aquantance, is "SOCK-OH"

Toolman is correct. Say-Co is a watch. But if you say Sock-Oh everyone looks at you like you're an idiot. Ha ! Then there's the Czech Sakha, Sock-ah.
