Consider yourselves Knighted!
on: October 02, 2014, 10:29:18 PM
I hereby Knight you all as Swiss Army Knights!


For those who don't know the story, here it is- for those who do know the story, feel free to skip over the spoiler!

Show content
Many moons ago I got put in charge of a section at Knifeforums.com called The Secret Order of Swiss Army Knights.  It was a joke, but I took it seriously and it eventually became quite popular.  So much so I branched out with another site at www.sosokonline.com which developed into a monthly SAK e-zine.  When I separated from KF I had to give the name back, but I wanted to keep the whole "Secret Society" type feel, so after almost six minutes of soul searching, deep though and personal reflection I came up with Swiss Army Knights.  We built a social media type entity around it, and it was popular, but I didn't have enough time in the day to look after it, and it became a haven for spammers and scammers.

With Swiss Army Knights having been hacked and none of us having the time or energy necessary to try and recover/rebuild and maintain it, I have decided to move Swiss Army Knights to MTO!

So, welcome to the Swiss Army Knights Forum!

I'll always be a proud member of the sosak but still it's a honor to be knighted. 

Hopefully the Spammers and hackers leave it alone now

I was just wondering when the name of the forum has changed :D

Anyway, I like being a honor-less mercenary, so no knighthood for me :P. REISLÄUFER RULE!

Yay! I'm a fricken knight! That'll show those teachers who said I'd never amount to anything - the smurfs!

Wait... the forum changes the word smurfs into "smurfs". Oh, the humanity! How can I wax poetic in profanity when all of my carefully constructed prose has "smurfs" in it? smurf!

I wonder if I can say smurflicker?

Dammit!

Well, at least I can say that.

I came from Sosak. I even have one of the SOSAK KOTY.
Even though Grant dragged me over here and threaten me with the Punishment Chicken and other things, MTO is the best place, ever.

I thought something looked a little different.

Uhm... if we're knights, are we taking an oath. I'm imagining taking the Oath of Blades with a Vic and feeling a little foolish. :)

The Swiss Army Knight's Oath

“Be without apology in the face of your custom owning friends.

Be brave and mod that God may love thee.

Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your banning.

Safeguard the knife-less and do no grinding – that is your oath.”

:D

So what is the SOSAK motto? Is it "Victory or Death"? Or is that the Post Office?

Now that Wenger is gone, perhaps "Victorinox or Death"?

Is that old program still around that generated SAK knight names, like "Mericless Awl of Myth" and all that?

We should do that again :D
