I just got it yesterday. If I'm ever ready to part with it, I'll keep you in mind.

I mean ... there's no one with a hollow rivet :pok: :facepalm: :whistle:
 ;)
It's because this is an older photo. Curiosity got the best of me in the end  >:D and I picked up a couple of SI's with bail. Need to get some pics...

Lovely knives, somehow they feel different than the Soldiers (and Pioneers). Must be the steel.  :think:

For our newer members or those not so familiar with these, we call them Black Beauty. ;)

They are marked in SAKwiki under the Soldier page, Variation 12.

Quote from: SAKwiki
12.
Black Beauty is technically not a Soldier, but a version that was sold by Swiss railway shops in the late 80s or early 90s. It has the Soldier's Swiss Sheild and except for the year stamp on the blade tang, it has all the features of an Alox soldier from the years 1988-1992; thicker unpolished screwdriver with wire-scraper, hollow-rivet, unpolished can-opener, steel rivet in the middle. [Information and photos from SOSAK member el duderino]

http://www.sakwiki.com/ti...e=Soldier+1961#Variations

el duderino is now duder. ;)

A whole set? :o

Wow, don't think I ever saw it complete before. :2tu:

Peter, just call me Nikola. :D You always have a few extra letters in my username. :rofl:

Also, mind if I add those pictures to the wiki? We only have pictures of the knife alone.

Hi encki... äh Nikola  :whistle:

Of course you can use the images for sakwiki.
Sakwiki is great for us SAK collectors. I'm happy if I can contribute little to it. :hatsoff:
