We got this grouping in today.........
Most have some type of Scale/Handle damage - to be replaced in time. :tu:
The Cyclist was what I was after for the collection....ended up to be the worst off....and the back side tools have blade play on close and open  :facepalm:
Mod fodder .......... hmmmmmmm MAYBE!  :think: :D

Side note *** the seller threw in the 58mm Vic Classic SD for free as a bonus - Green rear scale was broke in half, I removed the 1/2 that was there when they arrived B4 pix. ***

Fun thread Cali!
Little guy is growing up with a life-long love of tools, but most of all he's learning the importance of quality time with those you love.
Rest in peace ColoSwiss, you will always be remembered.

Here are a few pics of Johns Tink n' Keys.......  :D
I had a set of keys to a Honda civic I had and sold , a few years ago.... and added the sharp-LESS Tinker. He thinks it is neat to have keys that look like Grandpas. :tu:
He rarely lets them out of his sight....... Unless he is SO tired from Farmin' ,Playin' in water/dirt ,  errr Packin with Grandpa 8) (he barely made it to get 1 boot off , LOL )

Victorinox DeLuxe - Marble Blue / with Gold Shield

(SAK-Wiki info)  :tu:
The Victorinox DeLuxe is a luxury model containing the same layer tools as the Classic, but featuring high luster enameled scales with a marbled pattern and gold trim. These knives do not include the toothpick, tweezers, or keyring. The complete DeLuxe series of knives includes 5 enamel finish models in different colors, and 1 gold edition. However; There appears to be at least two color variations, or the series was extended at some point to include darker red and darker blue editions (see Extended Series image below). The knifes in this series were packaged in lined jewelry gift cases. While technically 56mm the DeLuxe is listed in the 58mm section which is the closest standard size.
****** Variations = Some knives have a Gold Victorinox Shield printed on the top scale; this variation appears much less common and belong to a later edition manufactured in 1987 (date from Dan Jacquart).*****

Victorinox Companion - ALOX / Blue / *** Note: One has printed Shield , all 3 are Adverts on back side ***

(SAK-Wiki info)  :tu:
The Companion is a common 58mm Victorinox knife, having the same tools as the Alox Classic. The only difference between the models is the scales, with the Companion having very thin and smooth Alox scales, while the Alox Classic has some what thicker scales that are textured. There is also a Companion SD version, which like the Alox Classic SD has the screwdriver-tip on the nail file rather than the ''nail-cleaner-tip'

When I first saw the "butter" blade on the Spirit I wasn't impressed.  I thought, how could such a terrific company like Victorinox put such a lame blade on that tool.  Then I got one and WOW, was I so wrong.  Its such an awesome blade. 

I cannot wait till he can use some of his tools.  Thats going to be a fun day for you both.

Victorinox Pocket Pal 58mm / ALOX / NO Keyring version / Red - COORS advert

(SAK-Wiki info)  :tu:
The 58mm Pocket Pal is an older Victorinox knife that is fairly rare. With a single layer design and Alox handles it is extremely slim. This model is essentially an Alox scaled version of the Cellidor Princess. The 58mm Pocket Pal should not be confused with the larger, more common, 84mm Pocket Pal model that is still in production.
Discontinued model.

Victorinox Classic SD - ALOX / Black /  *** Note: Has Keyring ***

(SAK-Wiki info)  :tu:
The Victorinox Classic is the most common Swiss Army Knife, and is considered the 'basic' (or base) 58mm sized model. The Classic SD has a ScrewDriver tip on the nail-file/cleaner tool and is often simply referred to as a Classic, while technically being a very common variation. The Classic is available in an extremely wide range of colors and handle materials. It is also a very popular model to be branded with a company logo. There are a number of other 58mm knives with the same blade configuration. However, as a general rule, to be a Classic, the knife must have the Keyring, Toothpick and Tweezers. There are a few exceptions to this rule; when the scales are metal, these knives generally do not have the Tweezers or the Toothpick; The Alox Classic SD, the ((show_image.php?id=398|Brushed Stainless Steel Classic)), and knives in the Classic SD Sterling Series. To make the definition just a little more imprecise, the knives with machined stainless steel scales are known as the Broker. There is a special issue Classic SD series made for Tiffany Co. that have Sterling Silver scales with the toothpick and the tweezers.
