Yes, I missed the one on ebay that sold yesterday. There's one on EDCF at the moment but I don't want to pay 80$ for it. The guy also said no to trades... I'm on the lookout for a regular copper though so let me know if you see one :)

I have one that has slight wear on the scales and the blade needs sharpening if you are interested. I am open to trade for sure.

Thanks to a good friend, this one's finally off my list. Unfortunately it didn't make it for the group shot but I'm happy that it's here nonetheless.

New stuff! Got a Cadet+ in sunset orange and a Lumberjack in copper, both from Swiss Bianco. They're here to complete my orange/copper set.

(Image removed from quote.)

I love the Cadet+.

(Image removed from quote.)

Copper looks suh-weet.

(Image removed from quote.)

Orange shades... Left to right: Standard orange, LE orange (no keyring), autumn orange, sunset orange (Swiss Bianco), copper (Swiss Bianco). Still missing standard Victorinox orange, but that'll get settled one day

(Image removed from quote.)

Now for the money shot... Total Cadet collection so far, with 1 more on the way...

(Image removed from quote.)


Just a heads up. I found the bottom picture on the Victorinox facebook page, I don't know if their allowed to use it but I thought I should let you know anyway.

That seller has some nice stuff. High starting bid though, one of these in better condition was sold for 50$ recently

Hello MWDP :D

Awesome collection as usual. The LE orange and Sunset orange are ver close aren't they from the orange shade group of shot, it is hard to tell the differences.

Anyway nice score.

you had a 486, but I am pretty sure it was not the speed!   maybe 20 to 50 mhz?  I think it is just todays habits to put Ghz, Mhz, behind everything.  I made this very mistake a few weeks ago talking to a friend

Properly, I remember it was a pre Pentium processor but not much else.

Well, I can definitely see the difference between standard orange and autumn orange, and I think I prefer the autumn shade better. As for SB's sunset orange, to me it looks almost identical as the Vic regular orange, but I'm a man and I know very few colors so I might be wrong  ??? I'm trying to arrange a deal for the standard copper Cadet, I'm really interested in seeing whether there's a difference in Vic's copper and SB copper. For some reason people put really high values on the copper one even though several sold recently on fleabay for reasonable prices.

I'm still on the lookout for gunmetal blue - are they all in hands of collectors who don't want to part with them or is the case of me knocking on wrong doors? I wish I had gotten into Cadets 3-4 years ago, could have scored some amazing pieces both from Vic and Swiss Bianco...

Gunmetal is my favorite color I would love to own gunmetal in alox regardless what model.
Did you notice that Vic release more alox in others color in 58mm now. Maybe they realised that they are knife company and try to make more knives than perfume and bags.

Nothing extra special, but I do have a few of the little buggers.
The orange and red on the right end will be getting saw and scissors respectively.

Finally got an apocalypse green Lumberjack:





All of my green 84mms:



Personally I'm very sad he didn't do a Cadet, Lumberjack has a pretty stupid tool combo to me. A Cadet+ would have been awesome too. It's messed up that there's even more shades of green I still need to get...
