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.

Hello and welcome to MT.O.  :waving:

That's a nice collection there. So, what are you driving?

I've got a suggestion for your avatar picture, look up Boris Karloff ;)

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

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. :tu: The opposite isn't true though :D
