Some SAK love

I think I have one of those. I was going to use it to suck up to a woman who had a kid who played soccer.
I'm better off having the knife.

I agree, thank you very much Jer.

Victorinox Bantam Ecoline. This is the only item I have ever directly purchased from overseas (Singapore). I wanted this specific model for backpacking and the nylon scales.

That whole setup goes well together

Nylon's gotta be good.

A little SAK love?
GEC's Churchill is a fantastic equal ender but the virtually same size, weight and blade selection of the Vic Electrician adds wire splicer, screwdriver, bottle opener, light prybar, wire bender and awl at about one third the cost.

(not to mention Stainless Steel)

I sent this one back to Switzerland for a sympathetic clean up in the vintage section,I wanted to keep it original as possible.
I can open the Blade and awl relatively easy even with my poor grip the other 2 tools are killers, the old folk must have been a lot tougher than us.
It has a lovely balance in the hand and the blade is excellent.

I dont know what I have done with the pictures seem to be attachments.

If it's not a secret, is there a particular person or e-mail adress you contacted to get it done? Because I tried once before through the online form they have on their website, but I didn't receive any answer whatsoever ...

Thanks for the reply, I'll see what I can do. It's a climber model from the late 40s, so I'm afraid I don't exactly have the original receipt anymore.

Gotta love the Alox models
Anybody tried the Solo yet? Kinda defeats the point of a SAK but I keep looking at them and backing out. Now if they drop a green Solo I may not be able to resist I've only seen silver so far.

This one?

They say the blade appears off-centered because it's ground to fit against an opposing blade. I can maybe sort of see it, but I'm not bothered.

screened porch yes that's the one. I figured it would be skewed because why would they make a new blade rather than the blade they already make millions of
So how does it stack up to the 2layer models?

It's thinner by about the thickness of one cover. Not much difference or quite a difference, depending on which way your persnicketyness is leaning. I'll come back with a pic.
