Z-Unit reporting for duty. My SI and I getting ready to head into work day #5 of 7.  Yep, I volunteered to go in Saturday AND Sunday.  Hard to turn down all that time and a half AND double time!

You know, I'm going to have to come up with a name for my Wenger. We are going to be together for a long time.

Hmmmm, the possibilities!!

Z-Unit here.  Had to make a quick run out to the mailbox at 5am when I realized something had been delivered today...No worries my SAKMC brethren, these are going into a drawer for safe keeping, then probably gifted to my kids.

Si will continue to be my sole, daily companion!

How's the build quality on the Amefa? Can it be compared to Vics? Can you compare it to something?

First and foremost:
I have no alox to compare it to, the best I have is recent celidor. There have been threads with alox comparisons though.  :pok:

Mine is the '72(?)-'74 pattern, with a bottle opener opposite the awl, a straight blade in its own layer and no can opener. Some would carry it just because of the unusual toolset.  :D

In terms of robustness and strength, I think its equal to Vic.
Fit and finish? Not so good.


The scales appear to have the same texture as Vic alox.(But they might be thicker? Can anyone compare to a modern Alox and '70s soldier?)
The rivets stick out a little on the backside, though I don't notice it usually.

The Awl is Good. It is the only polished tool, and I would say its almost exactly like the Vic awl.  :tu:  :D

I think the Bottle opener is the thick beefy version(thicker than modern alox) also present in Vic soldiers of the same era(Can anyone check?), and has the scraper.  :tu:
(Though it tapers at the point slightly thinner than a modern celidor, can anyone compare to a '70s soldier?)
The Vic soldier bottle opener from same era is also unpolished, I hear.

The Bail is Good.  :D  :tu:

That leaves the blade. It appears to start tapering around 2/3 up*, like a Wenger SI(So I hear) so its stout. But it has less belly(?). Its also unpolished.

On mine, the springs are strong, but not too much. Some apparently have weak or nailbreaker springs.
The awl spring is also misaligned with the scales when the awl is closed, right where it sits*.
The bottle opener has a slight wiggle that comes and goes in the fully open position, but thats just mine I think.
The Nickle-Brass liner is dull, but you know, its old and used!

*Probably only applies to the 72(?)-74 Amefa pattern

Whew. :D
Thats my day post word count quota done. :P

Can anyone answer my bolded questions? Thank you!

Who's your friend Sire? New Royal Protector, or do we have a replacement for me or Poncho? If it's me I'll be asking for severance (pay, not decapitation).
