I just got off the phone with one of their company reps, and learned that the beloved SAKO brand is actually pronounced Sah-ko and not Say-ko.
Now you know.

Aren't they the same company that makes the watches?
I didn't, but I can picture a conversation between a CSR and someone with a thick southern drawl.
Say Ko. Got it.
I pronounce mine gah-ah-puh.
Can also be pronounced a-c-c-u-r-a-t-e..........
No they are not the same company that makes the watch.
You say tomato i say tomaato.....????

Personally, I think all Finnish sounds like the Swedish Chef. That said, rode MC through Finland a couple of years ago and they are the nicest people ever.
If they want to say Saaaah-ko. They have my vote. After all, it's their tundra.

Oehler is pronounced A-ler.

The one I hear butchered the worst is Geissele. I've heard Jiz-EL-E... Jeez-elley... Geez-ELL... Ga-zel-E and geez-jeez-goddamityouknowwhatimean. Most here know but it's pronounced Guys-Lee
You mean Lah-p'wah
kails
it's kah-les
Haha
I still want to say oggiv instead of oh-jive.
I usually call them Sock-o.
Sa-vaage
Say-ko. Even if the other pronunciation is correct, it sounds stupid in my view.
I agree, Say-ko just sounds cool.
Who ever thought it was pronounced say-ko? I've never heard anyone say it anything other than Sah-ko
Well then, how is Trijicon supposed to be pronounced?
It doesn't get any more American than that.
You ain't frum round here... are ye?
Speaking as the guy from Lapua (and Vihtavuori, for that matter), so long as your name's on an invoice, you can pronounce it any way you want to.
SAKO: pronounced Sah-ko, not Say-ko.
While we're on the subject, it's 'laah puah' not 'la poo ugh'.
And don't get me started on "I rack" and "I ran" being countries instead of verb forms.
But Geissele... Now there's a stumper.?

I would aspire to own a Sayko but not a Socko. This news is a deal breaker for me.
This thread turned into SNL all if a sudden
That's kind of subjective, as when you're from europe the american pronunciation sounds stupid
In most euro countries the accentuation is on the first vowel, while in the US it is mostly the second (Laaapua vs Lahpoooa).
Tomato - tomato... well if you say it the second one sounds different
socko sounds stupid. someone needs to tell them that to continue good sales and be popular, it needs to be a name that is as attractive as the product is accurate and thats, say-ko..
Socko is wrong on any continent, but I think they meant sawko
Sayko or it's gay.
Just when I thought you couldn't get any more 'Murican.
Them stoopid YOURapeans is so gay thay can't even PRUnounce they own name.
