First month here
on: October 03, 2018, 04:21:35 PM
Hello everyone
I just want to celebrate with you my first month here (and actually my first 100 posts) :)
I really like how things are working here. It's a really nice and relaxed community: no flames, no "which is better?" threads, no fights.  :like:

Today it seems a special day. I received 5 knives: 3 111mm (alpineer, picnicker and hunter), a gourmet, and my first swisschamp:woohoo:
Can't wait to be home and clean/smooth/oil them
They were actually 6. The sixth is the one you can see here: https://i.imgur.com/bTBGlVs.jpg. I was hoping it was a climber 84mm. I wasn't sure (as the thread says "first month here", and i bought it before knowing how to recognize them), but after checking the ruler beside it i believed that (look at the two red arrows: 109-25=84mm). It's not. It's a 91mm pre-1991 HUNTSMAN. The seller didn't even said so. I hope i can have my money back at least (28$).

So thank you everyone for the welcoming and for the help you gave me so far. And thank you for everything you will teach me in the future  :salute:

The gutting blade is for guts, not fingers!

Just joking  :D I realized i am a huge fan of  111mms (they fit perfectly in my hand) but i put my knife in my 5th pocket, so probably i would go for the gourmet if i have to carry it, unless i go "into the wild", then i would go for the hunter (if i have to choose one of these)  :D

The gutting blade is for guts, not fingers!

Well, i hope i will not gut myself out with a swiss knife. It would be a good nomination for the Darwin Awards :D

It is a really great community! Generally very respectful, self-policing, and all around pleasant. Glad to have you as a part of it!

Unfortunately it drives me to spend more money, ah the curse.... ;)
