Really  :drool: like the bottom one
Rest is not idleness,
and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day,
listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky,
is by no means a waste of time

I just ordered out the gold-plated Lion of Luzern and Kapellbrucke from Harry's Swiss Watch Shop. The one I would really like to get is the Matterhorn.

From the SAK Owner's Manual -


This sculpture viewed across a quiet pond in a small park in Lucerne is truly a powerfully sad monument to courage in the face of death.  There is a story and a history, and now a beautiful knife.  There were the soldiers, their sacrifice for their brothers, and one aspect of what it is to be Swiss, to be human ...
The work takes on a life unplanned
and the painter finds the painting directs the hand

It's a very nice piece of sculpture, but one point maybe needs to be mentioned. The troops in question were mercenaries working for a French king who didn't trust his own troops to protect him from his own people.

Those look awesome!  I would totally buy one of the ones with the shield on it, that's sweet.

That's the one, though I'd prefer the partly gold-plated one. Do you know of a source?

Thanks,

That's a gorgeous knife! How can we get our hands on one over here in the USA? I would love to get the whole set with those scales. Really beautiful!
Shoot low, they might be crawlin'
