MTO Support Auction: Custom Victorinox OHT W/carbon fiber scales and pocket clip

Gadget Guy · **on:** February 03, 2009, 12:22:04 AM

This is my first auction, so please help me out if I did something wrong.

I have really enjoyed my time here at MTO and I wanted to give something back. I offer this beautiful custom Victorinox OHT with carbon fiber scales and pocket clip. I'm not sure who did the work, but believe me it's beautiful! My pictures simply don't do this knife justice. I'll try and get some better pictures up later. Please start the bidding at whatever you think is fair. All the $$$ from this auction will go to Def to help with the costs of running MTO.

Mods: I'm not sure how long this should run?

Here are the pix:

Well, I guess we'll find out - best of luck

I tried carbon fibre on a couple of SAKs that I built, before I entered my "wooden phase"

Done right, it looks great, but it's hard to do right I think. The picture above is definitely right.

Wow.... that's gorgeous!

Why did it have to be an OHT? I seem to have an affinity for collecting those darned things, and that would go sooooo nicely with my beautiful Scibeer modded micarta one!

Enough of that... down to brass tacks I suppose... usually these kinds of things run for about a week, so how does a week sound to everyone else?

Of course, a HUGE thanks to Gadget Guy for doing this!

I'm really having a hard time getting good pix of this knife. Here are a few more:

The light is really reflecting and its taking a toll on the pictures. Its the best I can do at the moment, sorry.

Very generous of you mate

If it was UK legal I'd be very tempted

cgk · **Reply #18 on:** February 03, 2009, 08:42:08 PM

That is my PERFECT SAK. Sadly I can not trump the $100, but Gadget Guy your generosity (as usual) is second to none. cliosguy----
