  • I'm an Adult?!?! When did that happen?
So this happened... FINALLY
on: April 25, 2024, 02:27:31 PM
After more than a decade of watching and wishing I finally got hold of a Voyageur.  :woohoo:

It's a little rough... okay, it's a lot rough...   alright, alright,  it's a bit of a POS.

But it's a Cap Lifter, Elinox tang stamp VOYAGEUR!!!   and it's MINE!!!

I do have a pair of 84mm scissors that came from a knife with broken backspring and maybe can find a blade to suit.

I have multiple VICTORINOX 84mm blades and at least one VICTORIA blade but I would want to stay with the original tang stamp, and for more than just preserving the value of it.
If I do have an ELINOX blade it will be part of an existing knife. 
Will it be worth "robbing Peter to pay Paul"?  We'll have to wait for the postman to bring the answer to that question. :mail:

Until then, all I have is the EvilBay listing pic's to drool over.  :drool: :ahhh

Congrats on getting this, I saw it on eBay and forgot to bid, even in the bad condition it’s in a steal for the price

Hope you get to fix it up, I wonder if you could send it to Vic?

what's the cost to get that thing correct ? We know Victorinox won't touch that. Unless it's a DIY it's probably not worth it for what modders want to do stuff.  Just sayin. I hope you can get that back to a nice Voyageur/Tourist for cheap and it becomes worth it.

    Remember that 20 dollars Aussie is about 13 dollars US, so our friend got the thing on the cheap.  Scissors are missing half.  Might be able to fix that himself, allowing he can find another pair of scissors to cannibalize and a spring.  Wouldn't even have to disassemble the SAK.  Leave it as it is with just a cleanup and the old thing is interesting anyway.
 Best wishes.  G
