Use of that word round my way starts fights and yet I'm told that to the south of the country its use is considered only slightly more inflammatory than twit. Funny old language

Does anyone have more information they can provide?Perhaps you should ask the person that put that info on the "Timekeeper" wicki page? According to the history on the page it looks like the user "jazzbass" is the one who put that info down. I believe he uses the same user name on KnifeForums.

I am working on a page that contains variations of different tools in 91mm Victorionx SAKS:http://victorinox.saam007.com/91mmtools.phpI already contact some members here for help and some was a great help in getting pictures and information (members: ICanFixThat, Neil, Duder, stressmaster5000, jzmtl and others). We got almost all the pictures needed for the page but I have some trouble refine the dates (missing the wood-saw and backspring phillips but ICanFixThat helps me with it).Wood-saw - I know of 3 variations.Backspring phillips - ICanFixThat found 6 variations but they might be more.Scissros - There are much more variations (older then the first version) will be expanded later on.The dates in the page based on documents found on the web, other members posts and knowledge.If anyone can help refine the dates and/or have stuff to add feel free to contact me or post here.

I put that in and then deleted it. I got that somewhere in vast amounts of internet research, but I now forget where and (more importantly) have been unable to go back and support it with actual info from Victorinox. So forget I wrote that
Anyway, I'm working on the backspring Phillips article and so far have found only 5 variations: - Square, file, no can-key- Square, no file, no can-key- Square, no file, can key- Round, can-key- Round, no can-keyWhat's the 6th one I'm missing?
i wish they brought back the square philips w/ filecan anyone explain to me why the early corkscrews where grooved not solid or why some philips have the center grooved?also for us mortals.... whats a can key?
Here's a pic of the type of meat can it was designed for. ...We actually still see some of these in the UK. The key's notorious for getting lost and leaving you with no way to get in.

ICanFixIt found:- Square, file, no can-key (1)- Square, file, no can-key (2)- Square, no file, no can-key- Square, no file, can-key- Round, can-key- Round, no can-keyI am going to post images sent to me by ICanFixIt - I hope he won't mind:Square, file, no can-key 1 & 2:(Image removed from quote.)

Under the scissors post, I show my Deluxe Climber with hook, grooved corkscrew and scissors with screw & guide slot.
That's certainly one mixed up SAK.
Thanks people.I just want to make sure the info I got is right:Crockscrew groved droped in 1994 and not 1991 as I thought.I also think the Scissors rivet replaced the Scossors screw in 1992 but according to the documents it says 1991.Hook is still 1991.
I think in the new edition of "Collector's Companion" it says 1994 - anyone can check ?
