I forget about Swiza.  They don't look bad at all.  I'm going to have to keep an eye out for them.

Swiss Army Knights Forum / Re: What's your latest SAK?

« Last post by AzteCypher on Today at 04:20:00 PM »

It's a shame the scissors are broken but that's still a good looking SAK.  It should clean up pretty good.  A little soap and warm water with a stiff bristle brush will clean up most if not all of it.  I would then try a metal polish all over and see how it looks after that.

Are you going to try and replace the scissors?

I think the answer is “no”, which is one of the weaknesses of stormproof matches.

I will soak the strip today and try to light. In the case of my kit, the matches are new so there is an extra striker strip inside with the matches that could be brought out if the outer one is not working. Obvious weakness is when the outer strip wears out.

Gets me thinking though, why not just carry the strip with the matches all the time to prevent it getting wet?

That's a shame, was a nice little tool. Surprised I didn't hear sooner. I might have to get a spare or two.

I do have a similar container in dark olive green somewhere, but I do wonder what if the striking pad gets wet, will it lit?

I like the Huntsman, it’s nice to have an SAK that is not that „Scarry“ for others like these monster SAK I carry also some time (Cybertool L or Swisschamp, ) it’s not because the color it’s more because it’s just an ordinary SAK .. and I have allready 11 or 13 of this kind..

So I wanted to have something that is a bit more unusual , like the Swiza Knives..

Congrats on getting this, I saw it on eBay and forgot to bid, even in the bad condition it’s in a steal for the price

Hope you get to fix it up, I wonder if you could send it to Vic?
