Greetings from Belgium
on: January 01, 2014, 07:33:05 PM
   While I was doing some internet research on Victorinox, I was lucky to stumble upon this website. I immediately went to the SAK Forum to find out more about a certain model I'm interested in and it didn't take me long to become convinced that this is the place to be.

   I'm not a collector yet, since I've always been of the opinion only to buy those knives and multitools I really need, but things could change.

   I'm confident that I can learn a lot from visiting this forum on a regular basis.  8)

That's what they all say.  Stick around long enough and you'll hear your wallet cry......  >:D
There's no such thing as "Too pretty to carry".  There's only "Too pretty NOT to carry"...... >:D

Yes.

It all began back in 2008 with a red scaled Victorinox Spartan which I got as a gift from a Lithuanian friend. Later on I bought the Victorinox New Soldier, the Cadet Silver Alox and the Pioneer Silver Alox.

I also own a Leatherman Wave.

Tomorrow I'm going to buy the Victorinox Explorer.   :cheers:

All of us started out like that, so we all know, once you buy more than one Swiss Army knife, you're lost ...

Anyway, a big welcome my fellow countryman  :cheers:.

So, maybe you should have a look at a Victorinox Spirit or Swisstool, I hear they are pretty nice ...  :pok:.

Thanks for your words of welcome!

Indeed, I'm not a collector, but there is a high probability that I will become one.   :D

Belgium is the country I live in, but actually I'm a German by nationality.

I became thirsty from roaming this forum.

I few nice Stella's would go down well now.   :cheers:
