So at long last I got a victorinox safari. But what i did not expect is that is is new! Unused!
Its in a little plastic pouch and sealed.

Should I open it up and use it. Or does it become a shelf queen?

Thoughts?

I'd keep it NIB and look for another one to use.

Old thread, but I just ran across GAKs for $25 at Coleman's. Search " German Army Pocket Knife " (no quote marks)

That's a great price, especially if you get a Victorinox.  I know there are some collectors who look for specimens from all the dozen (or more) manufacturers of these, so this could be a great opportunity for them. 

I'm working on a 108 Stag project.  Started on my scales the other day:

With the Soldier Challenge going on, I couldn't resist breaking out my 108!  It's definitely an issue model.. it looks like its had a rough life.  It locks up tight, and the wear appears to be mostly cosmetic.
