Here are some of my advertising knives....
Quote from: parnass on December 30, 2008, 07:34:35 PMHere are some of my advertising knives....Did you acquire the knives specifically for their advertising/logos or is that accidental? Most of the time I find advertising on knives a distraction and I'll pay less for a model with it. Sometimes though its the advertisement that makes it interesting.Neil
The little logo is inlaid and reminds me of a map symbol. Does anyone know who's logo it is? (Image removed from quote.)Has anyone else got any interesting adverts or logos on their SAKs?Neil

The slanting tree version is an older logo - circa 1980s?. Though some googling shows YHA Australia still uses the same logo. What's the knife type? I'm not a fan of logo'd SAKs but that one's pretty cool. Inlay is inlaid metal? If you're looking for someone to take it off your hands... The only one I have is a Tourist with inlaid metal SwissAir logo. I can't find any information about it but I assume it was sold on-board along with the perfume and Swiss chocs. Oh, the irony.Oh yeah, delurking mode. Hi everyone! First SAK was a Ranger. And still my favourite.
What a way to delurk. You can come round here more often Yes the logo is a metal inlay. Its a Spartan made sometime between 1985 and 1991 so that fits in nicely with the older logo. I'm not in a hurry to part with it but if you've got anything cooler you'd like to swap (Image removed from quote.) I'm all ears I've noticed one or two SAKs with airline advertising on eBay. The irony in present times seems to be driving their the price up.After that resounding success I'll throw this one out...(Image removed from quote.)Now I know Tele Chrome was an old TV transmission system proposed after WWII but I suspect this is a little more mundane. I've searched for hours trying to match the logo and failed miserably Neil
The advertising on them interests me, though I didn't single them out specifically because they were advertising knives. They are just some of the knives for which I traded, were given, or bought for low prices at garage sales, knife shows, etc. A former boss gave me the Champion advertising knife 20 years ago. It belonged to his father who worked at Champion Spark Plug. My mom found the Eli Lilly Schrade Walden pen knife at a garage sale and bought it for me 40 years ago. It has sentimental value.Some of those knives are quite old. The 3-digit telephone number on the Payne's Paint Shop knife is an indication of an oldie, for instance.
That's gorgeous mate
I'm not a fan of advertising knives, I don't even like the "Camping" scales on the Ranger and Camper. Why do they do that? ...
