Hello from Croatia
on:
April 03, 2015, 03:00:12 PM
Hi everyone, my name is Boris and I am a SAKoholic. Well not really, but I have bought my first Vic in 1977, and since that day never left home without a Swiss Army Knife in my pocket. During the years my collection had grown a bit, now I have ten knives, eight Vics and two Wengers. On the attached photo are all of them, except two Swisschamps, a red and white one. Unfortunately I lost my old Workchamp last year in Kyrgyzstan on our motorcycle trip, but bought another one as soon as we came home. This Spring some friends and I are going to visit both the Victorinox and Wenger factories, and I will share my impressions with you.
Best regards to all forum members.

Welcome, glad you finally made it.
And an excellent looking collection so far. All SAKs collectors drool about.
I got to get me an EastRanger some day.

Hello and welcome to MT.O.
That's a nice collection there. So, what are you driving?
I've got a suggestion for your avatar picture, look up Boris Karloff

Hello and Welcome from Australia
I look forward to reading about the Vic and Wenger factories! I'd love to visit but it's a little too far for me at the moment

It's where all the Delemont models, Rangers and 85mm models are made.

Thanks everyone for your kind words and wellcome.
Firiki, Boris Karloff is a nice idea for avatar, but I'll skip it for now. I'm riding BMWs, have only two of them. And a small Suzuki.
It might sound a bit blasphemic on this forum, but I'll rather have ten bikes and three SAKs then vice versa, as it is now.
Unfortunately that is not possible, so I like my SAKs even more.
Enki_ck is right. In Delemont there is still a Wenger sign on the factory, even though the knives are called Vic-Delemont now.
The weather is still bad and quite cold here, so we will probably go to Switzerland some time in June.

I like motorcycles but I don't trust me on them... Too many funny incidents riding a bike can do that to a man
A SAK may help you fix your ride.
The opposite isn't true though
