I was wondering where you were.

BTW, have you ever seen any other advertising on the Pharmaceutical Rambler than the one I posted? All of the ones I've seen had this exact same ones.

No, as you said all with the same name "Floxin" on it. I took one and swapped out scales for red on one of mine.

I've been thinking for a while that this special one deserves a page of it's own as it has enough differences in tools not to be lumped together with the Rambler.

We currently have it listed as a variation and named Pharmaceutical Rambler. I think the scales on the one in the wiki got swapped. Mine still carries the original ones.

Why not? The Pharmacy knife and Physician knife both have their own pages and they were advertising special made/ordered knives.

I got a couple of Zippo lighters from France 98, but they didn't offer any SAKs at the time.
I've always liked the Edelweiss in red.

No idea since I have yet to see any retail packaging for them. I do own and have a NIB 91mm red Michel Jordi and I heard it retailed for around $50.

Picked up one of the Michel Jordi Classics in Switzerland some years back. Paid $36 for it. Think that was retail, but can't swear to it.

Globus is my favorite department-store chain in Switzerland, especially their food department

I wanted to make a separate one a long time ago by that same logic but Francis was against it. I'll probably go ahead and make one soonish.

Didn't know there was a connection between the cartoon character and the food chain. Is it an advertising mascot?

Globus is also the name of a tour company.

You could of course just make a "Variation" notation on the Rambler page. That would also make sense.

Its what it was created for. Its of course not modern / exclusive / stylish enough anymore to still represent Globus*. If you go to the childrens department on the website here you can see that the books are still sold (bottom of the page) but you can also see that Globi sorta doesn't fit in with todays image.

Here if we say "you are such a Globi", we mean that you are a bit silly, a bit of a clown. This just to show how deeply part of our culture, Globi is.

Thanks for the info. Picked up this Globi Spartan on a trip to Switzerland some years back.

SAKs. I prefer 84mm and 58mm. I found an 84mm (or 91mm? I'm not quiet sure) with Rivella in the US, but it was painted, not inlayed and shipping was very high even though it would ship (US -> US).
