She lost two Swiss Champs to the TSA minions before she learned to quit carrying them in her purse. Still keeps one in her desk at work; a lot of times its easier to pull out the tool than call the janitor.The seller told me he goes bidding on lot's at Amsterdam Airport.So if she traveled there with a Champ in her luggage, but traveled back with it in her purse...I do feel like it's got to hurt for the person who gets it confiscated though, so many nice tools, everytime a stressed owner...I look at some of those "TSA" auctions and feel pain seeing some of the larger and discontinued SAKs that are relinquished at the checkpoints.John

Tuesday MAIL CALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lil 84mm Pocket Pal

Created this Wenger Classic 10 from a Commander with new scales that have T&T slots.(Image removed from quote.)Had two identical Wenger Commanders with red scales imprinted with marketing logos. Don't need two of them. This one was converted after finding some appropriate scales for it. The Commanders were BNIB (old stock) making this one like new.EDIT:The Commander that was converted into a Classic 10 has the older v2 style scales that mount to raised buttons with holes around them on the outer layers. When Wenger introduced the Evolution line, they changed to a different mounting scheme for the scales to accommodate their classical scales and the Evolution scales on the same knife frames. The conversion is documented here and shows how the v2 scales were removed and installed:http://forum.multitool.or...sg1379537.html#msg1379537John
