Day 10Unexpected mail this morning so Sigsetter went to work Won't be posting the soldiers in the "latest sak" thread since these are potential BYSAKs for MTo members... Keeping them aside for now.
Clearly there are some great minds in this thread (leaving mine aside to be frank).
The second longest SAK I have, which was a gift for Christmas 1985
I like it Lisa!! How do you like the Alox Minichamp? Losing some of the girth and the bullet proof Alox scales has intrigued me.
Day 10.I may have bit off more then even the mighty 65mm can chew.
Nice pics you all!Hood ornament SAK Day 10This was a modded alox MiniChamp, so I didn't mind taking a sharpie after it to turn it into a nice, well-loved fuschia color instead of the silver that it was.

Losing some of the girth and the bullet proof Alox scales has intrigued me.I think an Alox MiniChamp would pair nicely with a 91mm Compact. That way I'd have the pen, toothpick and tweezers too which I miss by having the Alox scales.
It's been so long since I've seen it I didn't recognize the Sun!! Bill you are positively awesome my friend!!

And posting this pic that reminds me my MiniChamp should by now be in transit. Patience isn't my strong suit and I'm really looking forward to its arrival... I probably wouldn't go for an Alox one as I'm a die hard T&T fan.That said pairing a it with a Compact could be a winning combination

I always have a MiniChamp with me. Remember that when using a blade or scissors you can open an opposing tool such as the cuticle pusher, nailfile, or ruler/screwdriver to extend the handle,The letter opener blade(curved blade) is great for cutting cardboard.The cuticle pusher can be used as a screwdriver or small pry tool.The orange peeler works great for opening clamshell packs by hooking the point on the underside into the plastic and pulling the hook.
I used my Classic to open the mail today... . Inside was my long-awaited PTC! Like your LW, Lisa, this guy is well worn but intact and tight. I'm looking forward to carrying this and helping Gene take on that melon!!
I see some of you have started your days already with the Alox MiniChamp and PTC Day 11I got Little Wonky out for service today only to see that his shield is missing. I hope I find it. Wonky is okay, but wonky and tacky is pushing it.(Image removed from quote.)
Wonky & Tacky ? Weren't they a vaudeville act ?

I've been out on a 50 mile bike ride with friends
