Haha not my faut, Quiet! :D

I really like the feel of this knife and am happy with it's performance so far. Considering I got it for $26, I have no complaints!

Pull the trigger on it, buddy. If you don't like it, I'll let you send it to me for free!

Fine. FINE ALREADY!!!!!

I ordered one!! LOL I managed to find one of the "first production" ones. It's the same handle as yours but with a satin tanto blade. I don't normally go in for tanto blades, but there was something about this one and the angles on the blade that I liked, and for under $30, not much to go wrong there. So, now it's on its way!

That's not correct. The symbol is different because it's a military issue Victorinox Soldier. The symbol is the Swiss Military cross. All the other Victorinox knives have the civil service cross. The Soldier is THE swiss army knife. All Soldiers have the military contract issue date stamped on the blade. The Swiss military adopted a new model soldier in 09 with polymer handles. The Alox soldier knife in these pics was in service from 1968-2009. Earlier models are similar, but with a simple cross symbol. It is identical to the Pioneer and the Wenger SI (Wengers military contract knife) with a few small differences. The Wenger model has a bail, and the can opener is the claw type. The Pioneer has a the civil service cross, a lanyard ring, and a small flat area on the back scale for engraving. They are all excellent knives.
