A few more knives graced my door today.

[Chako]

A Wenger Ranger Mountaineer (I think) with slide lock.
 





A pair of custom Handled knives from Serene. One in sterling silver, the other in stainless steel.






Victorinox Gray Alox Woodsman # 30/50 from Felinevet.






And what could be in this box?



A gold plated Bijou? I find the Victorinox 58mm knives a bear to properly ID. The eBay seller called it a gold plated Classic, but it does not have the lanyard ring…so a Bijou it is until someone else on here makes more sense of it.

Technically the gold one is a Bijou, but in Ibach everything is a Classic.  It's been listed as a classic in several places so you can consider it your secret that it is really a Bijou; a clear sign you need as much help as the rest of us.

If you want to be precise it's Model: 0.6200.88   (there is no help for you then).

[Chako]

Yes, we are definitely in a sad state aren't we? 

[ICanFixThat]

Ya, you might want to consider... hmmm no toothpick and tweezers.... is it really a Bijou.... 

This type of thinking will lead to    and 

[Chako]

Maybe they have it right...everything is a Classic. That does make identifying them a lot easier.     

[Freudian Frog]

Maybe it IS a Classic and they sensibly removed the keyring because they realized no one should carry it!

I like that logic!

Technically the gold one is a Bijou, but in Ibach everything is a Classic. 

Unless it's a Golfer.

Personally, I think of it more as a Broker than a Classic or Bijou. Metal scales w/o rivets, no T&T = Gold Broker.

I would tend to agree I have mine listed in my inventory as Classic/Broker.  I think on SOSAK we also refer to it as a broker.  I figure brokers might like to carry a gold knife.  With no keyring, put it in a slip case and I think it would travel fine.

[Neil]

Proper tarty! I approve

[Chako]

So technically, it is an Ensign then. 

Broker's have the key ring.

Thanks Neil. My question is this, will I have to protect it from Benner now that he has gone to the tarty side? 

[Neil]

Ben's always been a tart   He's probably safe until the novelty of the silver Esquire wears off

[Chako]

Ah well...I guess he is in good company then.

...

You've got the hang of it....   

....and if you look up the term Ensign in old military terminology you'll see that the Swiss/Soldier Shield makes sense.

[Benner]

The man's right.

Remember, you are never a fully fledged tart until you own a Sebbie 

[nuphoria]

   Bunch 'o tarts!

I'd buy a Sebbie in a flash if I could actually carry the lovely thing around


Lovely shinies Chako, they are little pocket jewels

[Serval]

That old style Ranger Mountaineer is lovely Wish I had one myself
