One Year On.....
on: June 26, 2014, 11:22:52 PM
It is almost exactly a year since I joined this fine forum and I would like to mark this occasion by presenting to you all how far I`ve come in the world of SAKs. Before discovering this forum my only Victorinox product was a Swisstool which I bought in 1999. Enablers all, look what you made me do >:D
