I've got a Bantam somewhere - such a great piece of Alox. I wish they were more commonly available in fancy colours.

I still don't have any, and that's something I should fix ASAP!!

Where I live the fleamarkets have:
1) broken chairs
2) games for Playstation 1
3) old romance novels.

And... that's it!

Not that different here,
Except i'll take the P1, I already bought a Cyrix 6x86 and an AMD K6-2

I found a few alox at flea markets (03' Soldier, KL89, Heuliez Companion) but  that's 3 alox in 6 years and only a few cellidor/nylon ones

Well I presume Swiss flea markets are more likely to have Swiss army knives...

My Pioneer X "LCSAS"

So what is LCSAS, Le couteau Suisse something or other? Also, what do the different size crosses represent?



I never saw a response to twiliter"s question. I too would like to know what lcsas stands for. Will anyone answer?

Tried google search and this is what I found out:

Les couteaux du soldat de l'armée suisse (The Swiss Army soldier knife)

http://www.fans-du-couteau-suisse.com/t465-les-couteaux-du-soldat-de-l-armee-suisse

I pressume that this is an association/organization/group of Swiss Army soldier knife fans.

As I don't understand French, would be interested to know exactly as well from our Swiss Friends :cheers:

Just in from Switzerland this afternoon . . .

08 Victorinox 1961 Soldier, the last year they were made. It and the 07 Wenger, the last year they were made, make a nice pair. Quick and dirty photos. I need to clean it up and polish the main blade.
