EDC a different SAK every day for 31 days #10 - Soldier and Soldier-like
on: October 04, 2018, 12:59:41 AM
A round 10 months or 300 knives; well actually 304 knives. That's what I'll reach at the end of this month.  :ahhh

I've carried soldiers before in my 93mm Alox month but let's mix things up:
- Any soldier is OK (even other countries but only V and W knives)
- Any non-soldier model but with a toolset & structure identical to that of a Swiss Soldier's knife is OK. (Pioneer, Trekker, civilian 1908 or 1951 etc...)
- Only brands that have supplied knives to the Swiss army are authorized (i.e. no 1908 knock-offs but if the maker was an official supplier for the Swiss Army (wasn't just V and W) then it's good; even without a year stamp - refer to the lists on this website for the full brands list... and please someone post one of these uncommon non-W-or-V knives ::) )

The challenge is starting tomorrow, Thursday the 4th of October, but anyone can join until the 11th.

As far as incentives go for joining me in this month's challenge:
- There's a badge for "EDC a different SAK every day for 30 days" which you could get if you don't have it
- All pre 09 soldiers are 2 layers...you could get the Minimalist badge if you only carried those
- You could revel in the fact that you're joining me in this historical event that is "the first person to carry a different SAK every day for a whole year" (and document it?)
- I may decide to do a giveaway if multiple people join me this month (you don't have to do the whole month if you can't)
- I will definitely do a giveaway at the end of the year including everyone that joined in during the year (for at least a whole week) in the draw

I'll keep counting the knives towards my year so 273 to 304.

I'll be once more following the guidelines I set out in month #2 (copy-pasted below). (yada yada yada)

Code: (Some ground rules for the challenges:) [Select]
- Carrying/using multiple SAKs simultaneously is ok but we're counting the days and not the knives.
 - Need to carry at least one "not carried in this challenge yet" knife every day. (if you're not doing the whole year with me, feel free to reset your list after each month)
 - Since this will go on for at least a whole year, breaks are allowed but only due to carry restrictions while travelling or because of hospitalization. Just pick up where you left off once you're back.
 - Exact duplicates are allowed but not twice in a row. (do not count as exact duplicates: variations in generations/tool evolution, scale & crest - type & shape & color, wear/damage, inlays/engravings and the likes. Basically, as long as we can tell them apart, it's ok to post them twice in a row). Posting a pic of the duplicates together before carrying them is strongly suggested.
For the record, here's the list of topics for the previous 9 months:
Merit Badges Start a new thread with photos of at least 12 different 111mm models in your collection Start a new thread and post a photo daily of any SAK 74mm or smaller ( you can switch it up daily ) for thirty (30) consecutive days. Start a new thread and post a photo of the minimal sak (2 layers or fewer) for thirty (30) consecutive days. Start a new thread and post a photo of the 111mm sak for thirty (30) consecutive days. Start a new thread with a photo of custom or non standard SAK scales in your collection Start a new thread and post a photo of a different SAK each day for thirty (30) consecutive days. Must buy an item through the MTo Store Start a thread with photos of at least 1 MTO branded tool in your collection Start a new thread with a photo of your custom ALOX with scissors Must start a thread with a photo of your birth year SAK Start a thread with photos of at least twelve different colored ALOX models in your collection Must start a thread with a photo of your camo SAK

Beautiful knife!  I'll only be following this one.  I wish I could participate, but I only have about 18 Soldier/like examples, so I'd have to start over at the top mid-way through the month.

Enjoy!   :cheers:

Just look at the wear, pitting and colour of that mooring eye. The blade and tools also showing their life. Both I think would have some great stories if only they could talk.

I was thinking of going chronological but figured it'd be a bit funnier to mix things up a bit. This has the last kind of Alox Soldier toolset.

Day 274

Elsener Soldier - 1890 model, 1901 variant

(no year stamp but it has the old circle-less cross army quality control stamp from the 1901-1907 period. This knife is at least 111 years old)




Its a soldier model nr 1908 not 1901. That you can see from the shape of the blade. That means its age is maximun 110 years :-)

That cross stamp was used between 1901 abd 1915, so your knife is between 1908 and 1915.
