7,000 post SAK giveaway
on: January 17, 2020, 09:36:12 AM
To celebrate (commiserate?) by upcoming 7,000th post I'll be giving away a slightly pocket-worn custom Victorinox Pioneer X.

I made this myself a few years ago, before the actual Pioneer X was released - it has scales from an orange Farmer, brass screw pivots, scissors from a 91mm SAK and a back spring from an Alox Solo.  All you have to do to win is correctly guess who old my ex-tree is:

I'll count the tree rings with my kids and announce the winner (whoever is closest) at the end of January.  Open to all members, anywhere in the world.  Good luck!

Not an easy guess as the size depends on what the tree faced during is growth/life :)
I'd bet it is not that old :)

   Just in it for the fun! Beautiful work on the knife as well as the tree removal. It Had to have been a challenge to get it off the roof safely! Depending on what kind of tree it is, My guesstimate: 60 years.

Or... if it was planted at the same time as the asbestos shed was.... about 1955 years? :dunno:

Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

... the winner (whoever is closest) ...

I don´t mean to nitpick, but that is a bit ambiguous.

Suppose the tree was 41 years old. With the current list, you would have two winners, Pablo (40) and me (42).
I propose you add the rule that in such cases the lowest guess wins.
