You mean like this,, I had some double face tape but I think I just finished the last of it putting the dog bag holder on the back of the house, but yeah if it was anything like that 3m stuff like on those clips, I’d think that would hold,,

Yeah, much like that. Different clip but the adhesive looks similar, I see that like me you found out how much fun it is getting that stuff off Alox scales. I think it took me about 15 minutes to remove all traces.

Yeah that sounds about right, 15min, “each”!

The tape that comes to mind I know as 3M RED, available in different widths.  It is a double sided adhesive tape used in the automotive industry for attaching side moldings on cars.

I found mine at a O’Rielys auto parts store. Imagine many like stores would have on the shelf.

PS:   Knowing you use Amazon, I searched and the River site has multiple width’s and type of 3M red.
Avoid the FOAM type.
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

I don’t think any of the 93mm companion alox have a key ring.

Why on earth would they leave the keyring off???????????????

It's been a stable of Victorinox soooo long that I can't conceive of a SAK with no keyring. Like the alox bantam, the lack of a lanyard/keyring attachment is a deal breaker for me. For a slim EDC knife/tool, I would think a keyring attachment would be automatic because of the nature of the beast.
Don't get too serious, just enough will do.

On the 93mm companion line, they removed the blade layer which is the layer that contains the key ring spacer.  I think they probably hit the "easy button" there, as to add the key ring to the opener or scissor layer would require an extensive redesign.

On the Synergy line they have pocket clips, which I assume is why no key ring,

Very valid points.  But also worth noting that it's not unusual for 93mm Alox knives to be key ring free.  Looking at models in current production other than the new Companion and Synergy ranges, there's no key ring on the Swiss Army 1, Swiss Army 2, Swiss Army 7 or Electrician. Basically Pioneer and Farmer models have them, others don't. I've no idea what logic governs this.

My wife came home with this pretty wooden box and told me I should put some of my knives in it. I knew immediately which ones.

Thanks!

I would love to have the skills to make something like this. However, experience has taught me when wood and I get together nothing ever comes out square.
My wife says I'm acute guy but I can sometimes be obtuse.  :hatsoff:

It's spelt "acute". Angles are obtuse, right and acute.

Mine was more pointed with her comments,

“I never thought you were cute!”
“You always think you’re RIGHT!”
“You always working some ANGLE!”

I miss those remarks, when thrown out of frustration when I was RIGHT. 🥲
