New guy here + pictures
on: November 15, 2017, 05:25:12 PM
Hello everyone!

I figured it was about time I registered here so I did it today. Here's a quick topic to present myself and a part of my collection (don't have everything listed or in picture yet).
I'd also like to give my thanks to many of you already as I've spent hours lurking around the wiki and this forum for information on my knives. I'm currently working on listing and referencing all my knives and you guys have been incredibly helpful already  :salute:

So, about me: I work in IT in Switzerland. I mostly collect SAKs but I also have a quite a few Swiss military bayonets (a couple of french ones too) and Swiss military swords/sabers.


Here's a shot of most of my Victorinox knives. There's a few missing and I've gotten new ones since that pic but that's the bulk of them.


Same ones in a Swiss cross setup:


At the bottom right are my 2 EDCs: Cybertool 34 and Alox Minichamp, along with a self-made Spartan with wood scales any my first SAK, a huntsman from from around 25 years ago.

I also have a lot of Wenger knives but no picture to show at the moment.

Here's to hoping to share good times with y'all  :cheers:

https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,74486.0.html

I've seen it earlier today indeed. However I've never ordered on the store and don't have a credit card. Living in Switzerland also probably means steep delivery and import fees so I don't know...
Anyone living in Europe with info on that around?

Welcome to the forum Syem.   :cheers:   Now how about some pics of the bayonets and swords etc.   :pok:

I live in a tiny flat at the moment so everything is packed up. Hoping to move soon though and even if I don't I've been meaning to take some pics for a while :)

my first SAK, a huntsman from around 25 years ago.

That's my favorite right there!  If it's sentimental it's the best!  :cheers:
