Haha a Lortab SAKJust got my Lortab Victorinox Princess in! I just discovered that this is a rare 58mm known as a Princess, and not an Escort, as it has a nail-cleaner tip instead of the screwdriver. 58mms are cool. I have a Pharmacist, Rambler, Emergency Escort, and Mini Champ coming to me as well, so the 58mm collection will be pretty rounded out, with a nice selection of scales for swappin, and different tools (though I guess the Mini Champ kind of does it all, huh?). Going to need to give this one some TLC jsut a little bit, but it's overall in quite good shape, nothing a little flitz, light BKF and oil will not fix.
Really glad this came in white, because my favorite SAK motif is white, and the green is nice as well, but the thing is, the cross-side scale is pure white, but the logo side is a faded cream-color, I learned that this is wear/light exposure, as I originally asked someone where they had got their "cream" SAK and they pretty much said "By buying a white and carrying it for 20 years!"
Is there any way to return the color back to cellidor? If not, that is okay. View attachment 1896209View attachment 1896210
I’ll take one in Xanax, please.Haha a Lortab SAK. Jeez, they made all sorts that I've never seen before. I wonder if there's an Oxycontin one. "May be very slightly habit forming"

"Here's your prescription Mr. Linguini, and as a small token of our appreciation, here's a knife for you. Be careful on dosage, taking more than one often causes blackouts where you'll suddenly come to in 8 hours and not have the slightest idea of what you did."I’ll take one in Xanax, please.![]()
And that’s different from every other day exactly how???"Here's your prescription Mr. Linguini, and as a small token of our appreciation, here's a knife for you.

Haha I feel you. That used to be my daily life but I've been trying this sober thing for the past couple years now. Not sure how I feel about it yet.And that’s different from every other day exactly how???
You can't say you were not warned!I hate this place.
I was so happy with two Grips, some lauri blades, and some cheap slip joints a month ago.

Oh, dude, I am positive there were probably a ton of those, but they are likely coveted (as this was a rare one compared to, say, the Lilly), same with the ones I know exist for Pfizer. I'm looking for a Pfizer, and trying to convince a guy to break up his 450 dollar collection of 48 pharma SAKs to get Propecia, the hair med, Neurontin, and some others.Haha a Lortab SAK.

Yup, I hear you man on the black market filling in the gap that Pfizer once was the king of. It's a pretty insane thing really. When I was 18 oxys were everywhere and all different types of people were doing them. I guess maybe it was comparable to all different types of people doing acid in the late 60's/70's, or how all different types of people do coke in Hollywood. Then of course when Pfizer cracked down, well you already know what happened. I'd have a lot more friends/acquaintances around too if it weren't for this historic phenomenon. In fact, it's a straight up miracle that I'm around to talk about it today.Oh, dude, I am positive there were probably a ton of those, but they are likely coveted (as this was a rare one compared to, say, the Lilly), same with the ones I know exist for Pfizer.

I got a Lilly SD Classic with emergency blade! (Actually I got 3) You know, Eli, Lilly and Co drug company. I got a few so that I can do some 58mm scale-swappin' when I want, as well as a Cardizem (Ha... Cardi... Zem...) "Pharmacist's Knife", rare 58mm, and stoked about it
I almost look at Pfizer heroically/in a punk rock way, after what is on the street now to replace their products, if for no other reason than the extreme deadliness of the "replacements" and the fact I'd have more friends alive than not if it was not for the crackdown and black market doing what it does, filling in the gap, but 100% unregulated. But yeah... probably not the thread to muse on the morality of drug companiesAnyways, if a day of searching got me this, imagine what some waiting will do! But what I'm waiting for folks to notice, too, is not only is this is a Victorinox Princess, it appears to be a unique variation on the model with equally thin scales (compared it to the Escort, thinner) but includes scale tools. I guess that's kind of a SAK nerd thing haha.
One thing I think always must be considered before folks crack down too hard on Pfizer, is the fact that.... death via overdose was always a thing for CNS depressants done in excess, it happened hundreds of years ago with morphine, happened with heroin and the newer alternatives, and now it happens, with many times the frequency, with fentanyl, misrepresented as Oxy, usually. Banning has the effect it usually has - a negative one. Had one friend want to try one Oxycodone - he did not know enough to know this is not the early 2000s anymore and they are not real on the street. He died his first usage. This awful black market leads me to kind of "Robin-Hood" Pfizer, and say "Hey, give the people a legal, more pure product with verified dosages, they're doing it anyways, why not defund criminals and save lives?". Switzerland-style, but more permissive with it. Because I wasn't ready to be done until I was done, and it was by the grace of God, or some such thing, that I didn't get anything bad/worse that would have really put me down. Now, though, I'm a contributing member of society. I had to survive to be that, though.Yup, I hear you man on the black market filling in the gap that Pfizer once was the king of.

That's cool man, I never even really considered SAKs that were used as marketing tools. How do you trade the scales? They're glued on pretty good aren't they, or no? I found a SAK a little while ago that got ran over and lost it's scales that i might get some some scales for one of these days if I can straighten the liners out enough.
Edit: And you're right, most days being sober is a better than the alternative. I found that living that lifestyle just wasn't sustainable.
