Damast 2025
on: July 18, 2025, 06:12:22 PM
This year's Damast is up, a Companion with faux marble scales.

  [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]  

Apologies for the weird screen shot, the image keeps coming corrupted from Vic's site when I try to save normally. Not really an LE guy, so not for me. Not sure how the mark up on these usually is, but this feels not completely nuts. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Anyone going for one?

Not for me.  It's a nice looking SAK and the box cutting tool is cool, but the price seems crazy (and I buy every year's Alox LE, so this is saying something!).

However I do look forward to seeing real pictures of one, so best wishes to MTO members who pick one up.

I bought one today because I’m a stupid collector. That said, I’m actually kinda bummed they replaced the file on the companion with the small blade. The file + package opener are the combo that make the Companion so awesome.

I ordered one today as well. 
I have tried to collect one from each year, but still have a couple missing.  One of the missing ones is the first year (2010)...like I'll ever find it at a decent price.  :ahhh

Didn't even realize the file was missing. Does feel like a downgrade to me. They could've at least made that with the swirly damast too.

I have five of the Damasci  (pl.?) - And I said to myself "No more" ......
- But I do like this one - The scales and the model - So I am tempted   :o

But completely agree with JB - Why would they swap the file? ??? - One of the best features of the Companion
And awlso what makes it so special and unique compared to all other 91mms  .......
Why? Why? Why? - Especially for a LE

Not bad, interesting choice of covers and more reasonably priced.  I got one.

They are selling fast, possibly because they are not very expensive.

Looks much nicer in your picture, @DKS!  Congratulations on this SAK.  I might have to reconsider...

Still thinking about this, and am realising that the fact that it is not a true Companion - ie No nail-file - is making me not want to get one   :think:  - I really like the Companion model and this bustardisation has ruined the 2025 Alox for me.
Irrational and weird - I know !!   :o   :D

Your box is different from the one on the Vic website - Interesting    :think:

And please can you let us know how the knife is held in place ?    ???   ......  Is it just a 'hole' in the raised bit?
