Gee whiz, SG, you have some great ones! Really dig that anniversary one and the camping logo (Master Gardener)? "Mad props and respekt" as the young ones say.Thanks for sharing. I forgot about a couple of Fishermans in the "tinker section" I want to find a SAK with a Fender or Martin guitars logo on it, would be awesome if was an inlay too.... And what is that one?
In my opinion the coolest thing about collecting advertising SAK's is every now and then yo get a unique variations. like my Climber W\O keyring

Obviously, one can find numerous SAKs with ads, art, names and alls kinds of stuff on them. They're awlmost inescapable. I'm sure many collectors cherish them while many collectors despise them. Generally, I enjoy almost any authentic SAK. However, I do especially enjoy the older Victorinox with the metal inlays. I'm not sure when they started doing this but I imagine it was in the 60's. I have aquired a few of these in my time collecting and enjoy them very much. I'd like to invite others to share their inlays, knowledge, and thoughts here... Below I have some examples. I am curious about a couple of them so if you have any information, please share. Namely, the "24K" Huntsman which I have NO IDEA about and the 1910-1985 Spartan VASV, the VASV could stand for a few different things but I'm thinking it's the Verband Aargauischer Schützenveteranen ( http://www.vasv.ch/index.htm ) from Aargau, Switzerland. The rest are easily googleable names and are all Swiss except for the 24K and Brookstone. The other thing I found neat about the VASV was that it had a toothpick scale w/ no tweezers. I guess the tweezers would have gotten in the way with the inlay and they didn't want to sacrifice the tooth pick.(click to see larger image)
