This week two of the specimens of 'the holy grail of Victorinox' have been sold. (Different sellers!)

There are small differences between the two knives.
The one in the first picture sold for € 600, the second for € 500.  :ahhh

BUT... But did somebody notice that the model in the top picture has an old style pen knife!??
I hadn't seen that variation before. Now tI identified 4 variation of this blue alox RNLAF survival knife.

Oh panel of wise experts, I have a question: What's a good price for a 111mm DAK with camo pouch? I've begun a hunt for one and figured I should ask, thanks!

On the Dutch online marketplace (marktplaats.nl) you should be able to find a new in box one with pouch for about 40 euro. Although most of them are sold without the pouch, so finding a DAK and finding a separate pouch should be easier than finding the combination of the two.

On eBay a new in box DAK goes for around 75 euro. Sometimes with pouch, sometimes without.

If you want help buying one on marktplaats.nl and forwarding it to you, send me a PM  :cheers:

I bought my DAK from marketplaats and they were very good. It came with all the boxes glenfiddich mentioned a while ago and the camo pouch was actually shrink wrapped. Just seemed to cost a lot in P&P; but it was worth it :D

Beware: The pouches dated 2007 are in fact for the terrible 'Zwanenburg' knife. Pouches dated 2009 and after are for the Victorinox knife.
The 2007 pouches were of course also used for the first batches of Victorinoxes.
The black pouches are for Dutch Military Police. These are hard to find.

This knife was for sale on Dutch 'marktplaats' only for a very short time. It was bought by a collector from... Poland!
Unfortunately I was too late. It was already sold when I saw it, however I managed to secure the picture of the ad.

Koninklijke Marechaussee = Royal Military Police
Personeelsvoorziening = human resource management (as they call this nowadays)

Because the telephone number has 9 digits, the knife is dated before 1995/1996 (when all 9 digit tel.numbers were converted to 10 digits).

Nice find!
First time I see a stamped (TL 13)  Knipex.

BTW, Osos, do realize you are robbing our Dutch cultural and military heritage?  :cheers:

Yes, this Chinese collector had some very rare Dutch Air Force SAK's!
At least three are not in my collection {encircled in red).
And I have a spare one which is not in his collection...
Does anybody knows who this Chinese collector is?
