The new chapter in collecting...
on: November 19, 2017, 02:18:21 PM
Couldn't find the "What did you just get?"  thread fast enough to my liking, so I made a new one.
Why?
Because I was to lazy to search properly and because it is WORTH it!

Just brought home a new display case for my SAKs. But this time it isn't just a generic display...
No...

It's a genuine Vic case!
With a genuine metal Vic advertising sign!


The cat is wildly interested in all the movement :facepalm:

Also brought home A NIB 84mm Golfer with long nail file and horn scales, fluted corkscrew:


I'd call this a really good day :drink:

PS Are you sure they´re genuine? A long time ago, Victorinox and Wenger agreed that Victorinox would use the words original Swiss Army Knife in their ads, and Wenger would use genuine Swiss Army Knife.  :D

Yeah, I like that cat as well.

But, Mech, that isn't a new chapter, that's like a whole next level in collecting.

Even though it's on the second floor, I see it as my mancave.
It's my desk area and the only room in the house where I have the final say about things :D

Does such a sanctuary really exist? I thought it was a myth, a legend spoken off around camp fires...... :D

Anyhoo, does that lovely new case mean we can come over and pick what we fancy buying  :whistle:
