Swiss National Day

[Insipid Moniker]

It's an SBG1 "Swiss Border Guard" knife. Designed by Dietmar Pohl, built by Klotzli. N690 blade and titanium frame.

Nice!

Looks like I have to carry an Alox Soldier today.

I had swiss cheese for lunch unfortunately that's all I'm carrying that's swiss.

I always have a Mini Champ and two other small ones on my keychains.

Armadew I refuse to carry Swiss knives during my work day just because of some foreign holiday!

I'll just carry what I usually do.

I ended up with a Soldier and a Cadet, one in each front pocket.

Been living out of my backpack since March 14 with a Vic Farmer & Mora fixed blade. Happy Swiss Day !

Brought my Vic hiker on vacation with me. It makes a great traveling companion.

I always have a Wenger Ranger on my desk at the office so I guess it qualifies. Kersaw Leek in my pocket, sorry....

I always have my black Victorinox Executive and Alox Pioneer on me or near me every day.

Took this picture yesterday at work, but had no time to post. A little Wenger and Victorinox harmony in the form of a 2008 SI and a purple classic sd.

I've been looking at this knife for a while. How do you feel about the price/performance? Besides the visual design, is there something mechanically special about it, like a Sebenza, that makes it worth the francs?

Well, its smoother opening and more ergonomic than my Umnumzaan (which is the closest in price, quality, and function in my collection).

The only potential downside I could see is the steel is N690, which some might find inferior to some of the "super steels" used by others in this price bracket. It suits my needs just fine, however.

Oh, and button locks are awesome.
