New member here - Hi! I've already posted pictures of my folding lockblades over in the general forum, but I figured I'd venture over to traditional to share my slipjoint knives. I know they're nothing special but they still have meaning
Here are all four together! Woohoo.
Here is my first knife... it's a Camillus BSA knife, that was actually my dad's! It's quite old and has seen better days. No real work gets done with this knife... it's more of a sentimental thing, obviously. The main blade is a little loose (and corroded) but the scales and brightwork are in remarkably good shape for a 60's era knife.
Here is a close-up of the script on the blade as well as the BSA badge. Nice
This was my first knife purchase and the first knife I really used... It's a Victorinox Explorer, if memory serves me right. This knife saw me through most of boy scouts, many a year ago! Today it serves duty as my "car SAK" - for fixing small problems or throwing at annoying passengers! Closed, of course.
The Explorer, closed.
This was a gift to me a few years back... Again, if memory serves this one is called an Alox Solo. Very elegant slim single-blade slipjoint. You can tell it's had it's share of sharpening
Solo, closed
Here's my current "do everything" SAK... this a Cybertool 34, and holy crap this is one useful instrument. Two blades, can and bottle openers, pliers, scissors, driver with four two-sided bits (some torx, hex, phillips, etc to pick from), plus a toothpick/tweezers/ballpoint pin/cork screw/straight pin/ probably stuff I've never noticed! This one travels in a leather carry case on my belt on the weekends, although its' a BIT bulky for EDC.
Here are all four of them...
And here is the primary purpose of a good Swiss Army Knife!
Anyway, hope you enjoyed my pictures. Back to drooling over the Case and Queens knives
