Thank you 39 and Vicman!

So upon further observation.  My Bijou is just like my Classic version solid inlay.  When I looked at kamakiri's Bijou, the lines I point out on my Bijou are different than on his.
Rest in peace ColoSwiss, you will always be remembered.

I found one!!!!  I didn't take it out to look at it earlier because I thought it was a perfect match to the other like it and I find out it's a Bijou!
I don't think it's nickel silver though.  :dunno:  Sheath under tray is just plain black.

Nice! Now I gotta check if I have one of those (Stainless Bijou)!  Doesn’t look nickel silver :think:

Didn’t find another peanut Bijou. But found some other stuff to add while digging around.

And thanks FB for the heads up on the stainless arches!  :hatsoff:  :cheers:

That Hiker is definitely different 👍.
