Well, this site has influenced me to actually try out a Swiss Army Knife. I tend to prefer other traditionals, but for some reason the SAK Farmer was calling to me. Looking on SAKWIKI and ALOXWORLD, reading threads, I decided I had to have a Black Farmer. I found that they were sold in Italy, but not in the US. I found a place to order and have it shipped... it took a few weeks, but it arrived yesterday!
BUT Wait!!!! There's more!!! Is this really my first SAK? It was the first I ordered, but while I waited, I decided I wanted a smaller one for opening bottles.... and some way to lanyard it so I could wear it around my neck while sitting by a bonfire drinking beers. So, I ordered a Red Alox Cadet!!!
BUT Wait!!!! There's more!!! I found a classic in a local hardware store before receiving any of the other two SAKs.... $11? Heck yeah I bought it.
So, I ordered the Farmer First, Cadet Second, and bought the Classic last.... yet I recieved them in the opposite order.
BUT Wait!!!! There's more!!! Not long ago. I posted up about my first knife and having lost it. I remember it having the Victorinox logo, but it had dark or wood handles which did not match anything I found about SAK history. Some here suggested it may have been a clone.... I can't argue that as I have found no knife that matches what I remember.
So, I have no clue what my first SAK was. Here's a picture of what I have though:

Seriously, though. That's a great trio of knives you got yourself. Victorinox puts out an outstanding product, for sure.
