Hello from Holland
on: April 14, 2014, 09:03:02 PM
Well the Netherlands, to be precise. I'm a Brit who's lived here for 30 years, and I bought my first Victorinox when I arrived as I had no other tools with me. I've still got that Spartan and it still clicks shut with a satisfying clack after 3 decades of EDC. The collection has grown to include an Explorer, Camper and a new Spartan (all in black), a Sportsman and a few Wenger Evolutions that I'm keeping in honour of the passing of the brand on knives.

The scales on my Camper became warped from heat, so I was Googling for spare parts and I came across this forum. It re-kindled my interest in SAKs, and the collection keeps growing. I've resisted alox, but I do like black Cellidor. I look forward to sharing your wisdom and showing some of my stuff.

I actually upgraded my Explorer to Plus spec with black scales...

And here's the red Spartan Economy (without the metal cross in the scales and no toothpick or tweezers) that started it all.
