I LOVE IT.
Blue is my favourite colour. I wish more of my gear was blue, but due to the fact that most manufacturers tend to make black gear I only have a couple blue items, multitools and knives, but no blue SAKs :ahhh  I've been eyeballing that south african blue Solo for some time now though. ;)

:facepalm: I just realised I forgot about the little ones. I actually have two blue SAKs, the Signature Lite and the Midnight Manager. But still no real sized SAKs.

Yes, those are fantastic. The alox ones have been very high on my wanted list for ages.
I do have the cellidor version though. And I believe jan. had one for sale a while ago, maybe he still has it?

Marcus, I will PM you later today about the belthanger.  :tu:

Bushido, let's call it the Aaron Tinker. It should carry your name with pride!
The knife got held up in customs and they charged a small ammount tax.
That's why it took longer to get to my doorstep. But it's here and that's all that matters.  :)

Thank you all for showing the beautiful blues!!!! Awesome 8) My depression is gone!
I would love if someone posted pics of vintage victoria blue cellidor..if haven't seen many of those!

Wow! nice collection!  :drool:   

I don't have too many blue SAKs, but always on the look out for some nice ones like I see in this thread.

I do have a nice Blues music collection to rival my SAK collection. It would be nice if there we more "Deep Blue" SAKs.  I bet an Alox SAK would made a great slide.

Yeah, I love that blue Midshipman and the B.O. Firstmate that Marius showed.
I wish I was rich, there's one on eBay right now that I can't afford.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/140799709420?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

The modded blue G10 GAK from Spork floats my boat as well.
But where did that cool picture went from ColoSwiss, with the very nice Michel Jordi Spartan?  ???
Never seen one of those in blue before!

ICanFixThat don't you have vintage blue Victoria's in your collection?? Like the one Reinier mentioned?

That's my blue Michel Jordi Spartan on the wiki you linked to I believe ColoSwiss and a few others have that one.  One just sold on ebay the last couple of days too, but the images for the auction were swipped and were not even of the knife being sold.  The price went higher than I thought it would go over a hundred I believe.  The BO Fistmate by SU on ebay is over priced, keep an eye open, but that might be a hard one to grab.

I have the old blue Fisherman/Angler that I've posted a few times, didn't want to spam it here, but since this is turning into our "Blue Thread" I'll post it again from the wiki image.  It has Victorinox obverse tang stamp though, not Victoria that might be on the reverse I would have to check, but to me once Victorinox is on it, it is not Victoria.

Here is ColoSwiss's Blue Alox Wenger Travaler/Gawain:
