Is that the one from Ebay ? I couldn't get it...the price was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to high for me. Congrats.
That looks a bit Irish .Love the colour
....You are right...I tend to prowl the eBay.ca forums. I rarely go on the US site.
I, being of a rather dyslexic disposition, was wondering why the hell Michael Jordan was putting his name to a SAK.... However, this Jordi character seems to have a nice idea or two
Is it real gold plated?
I'd be curious to know as well. Mine shows no sign or tarnishing but it could have a thin lacquer layer on it I suppose.

Last year I got some infos from Victorinox about the Michel Jordi knives.These knives were made in 1995/96 exclusively for Michel Jordi. There were 3 different models (classic, spartan, climber) in 4 different colors (red, green, black and blue).The corkscrew and the ring are gold-plated. The special emblem and the flower-pattern of the scale were made outside of Victorinox (but I guess they were assembled completely in Ibach). There was also a small special run of these knives with a corkscrew made of solid gold. I have no info about the price of these solid-gold-corkscrew-knives but I guess it must have been very high, especially considering that the normal Jordi knives are quite expensive.
Resurrected this from nearly 10 years ago .... but in my defence I have been looking for one for a long time and now I have one I thought the thread should have a gold corkscrew .... not gold-ish
