They say Roger Federer was a world-class ice skater before his uncle got him a Sportsman... nowadays, he goes anywhere near the ice he slips over on his face and looks like an idiot.
His tennis improved a bit, but still, it's a tragic story.

Day 83

Victorinox Executive in silver Alox with an ad for Kolack AG at the front... Apparently this company closed down and I'm not sure what they did...

I wonder how many companies have gone out of business because they spent too much money on beautiful SAK give-aways!

Another boring Pioneer... but with a really gorgeous woodcut by Eric Ravilious, one of the most underrated British artists who, as an official war artist, took off in a plane from Iceland in 1941 and was never seen again.

I found another Pioneer earlier, thankfully i don't need it as i have plenty other models to see me through, i like the woodcut..at first i thought it was scroll work and thought wow he was good..but i presume its an engraving on wood?

20 something - Wenger whatsit thingy for Wengerday

That picture was on the front cover of a book, which was printed on textured paper... here's a better example without textured paper. It's just carved onto wood. Simple but beautiful!

That blue Pioneer is not boring at all!
There can be true beauty in "simple" models too. But another fine example of that is Borg's Wenger of today! Beautiful crest and awesome clip-point blade! I'm really loving today's submissions <3

Day 84

Victorinox Prince with SS scales and COZZIO Messerschmied - WINTERTHUR on the blade. I guess it's a knife smith... But that would be a bit ironic then to put ad on knives from another company... Maybe just a shop then?

That Prince is lovely!

Here's one of my all-time favourite SAKs - the unpretentious Nomad. A gigantic Spartan, really - and most days this simple selection of tools is all I need.
I like the Nomad so much I have 2 of them. I'd like them even more if they were available with a non-serrated one-hand blade!

Pioneers are nice, i like them but sometimes i wish i chose coloured Farmers instead..they are a bit more pricey though. I already used my Nomad card as i only have one, i just wish i had one of everything and not 10 of some and none of others .
When it comes to metal scales i think i prefer blade etch than handle, i don't mind on Cellidor though

25 - Pocket pal or Secretary, not sure which as they both did red Alox, has a nice feel to it anyway  :tu:
And yes, my submissions are getting smaller ..5 days to go  :D

Nice orange! And cool ribbed red OC too!

Day 86:

Victorinox Prince with silver Alox scales including a Gurit-Essex ad on the front scale. They're a nearly 200 years old Swiss company that started off doing textile finishes and printing and evolved into working with synthetic materials and composites.

2 observations:

1)Were nearing the end of the month... I'll have to find a new subject soon... (off the top of my head) What do you guys think about 65mm knives? I'd have to mix scale materials but it would be cool to have a Wenger-dominant month after this Vic-only month, wouldn't it? I have to check but I think I have enough :D

2) So many Princes! I never realised! And on the other hand Ambassadors are not very well represented... I think I like the long files more than scissors... I definitely like the small blade! I'd prolly be happy to grab a Prince but in doubt I guess I'd stick with Executive/Director models

Awlsome woodcut!!

And that Pioneer is anything but boring,  lovely color and it has a keyring!  I'm having 2nd thoughts on my nespresso pioneer cuz it has no keyring

You're too kind Peacent!

Today's effort is not so pretty, but then neither was the weather. I found a rotting old tyre in a field.
edit - this is my second and last Nomad, not counting the dead one.

Really scraping the barrel, here.
I found a 2016 Pioneer hiding at the bottom of a drawer, along with a Cadet of the same vintage. I knew I'd bought the Pioneer but I have no recollection of buying the Cadet, which is, uh, worrying.
I can't say I like this colour. (Well I could, physically, but I would be lying.)

Victorinox Escort 74mm in red Alox with an ad on the front scale.

It's starting to look like next month will be 65mm-only. Would I dare to pull out a few Vics or should I make it a Wenger-only month?

You quite often find that with corporate knives, the tools look unused..perhaps because they would be given it, someone who bought it would use it or store it nicely  :like:
