OMG, they have a farmer with scissors! They will eventually all be mine.
Woah, that is gnar! Are the mods pretty pricey though?
It would be nice to add scissors to the soldier.
Good morning to all, sorry just have to ask OT. Is the farmer the one with aluminum sides?
I have one of these Champs, bought for me by my father, about 27 years ago. I've treasured it and carted round with me everywhere since.A couple of days after 9/11, they tried to confiscate it at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, so I actually ended up buying it its own bag and checked it in to get it home.It does have the pen - don't know if that's significant or not, but I saw the question asked of mr tenderkiss.I have however lost the tooth-pick at some point, does anyone know where I could get a replacement at a sensible price?
Found some! Tooth-picks that is. At least I hope so - I've ordered "large", hopefully I got that right but they were only 44p ($0.88) so it's not the end of the world if I have to go back and order "small".Thanks for the pointers though guys!
I've treated it to a nice leather sheath too!Someone asked mr tenderkiss whether his SAK had a pen or not - why is that significant? Was that only included in the later models or something?It's funny, I've taken this SAK for granted for 27(ish) years and not really looked at it closely for a long time. It really is a very well engineered thing isn't it?

I have always wondered that also. I remember reading a post where Def said that an on an old Huntsman, the bottle opener was sharpened. Similar to the Soldier in a previous post. Now, why would Victorinox stop doing that on their bottle openers. How many people actually use the bottle openers? Most beer bottles have twist tops now..

I'll have to check with my dad and see if he recalls when he gave it to me. Must have been within the last 23 years I guess. I'm thinking now maybe I confused this knife with a Wenger knife he also bought me. Haven't seen that one for a very long time maybe since I got the Swisschamp. This is going to bug me until I get the answer Is there any kind of date stamp on these knives, or any other way of dating them?
