the outside temp was about -2 when the postwoman delivered it and judgeing how cold it felt when I opened the parcel I don't think it spent the night anywhere warm . I remember thinking I bet this is the first time in the life of this tool that its been this cold  considering where it came from  :D

I tried so hard to find more as they are very cool . A friend at work's son works in the Aust. Army logistics & Supplies , I thought if anyone could get them he could , but alas he did not come through (I do not think he tried too hard :( ). I have another friend in the Air Forces medical retrieval business , I will ask him , I think it is only the Army that gets BO ST's the Air Force & Navy gets SS I think. I just stumbled on the BO ST on Aust. Ebay there was absolutely no mention of it being a Army issue ST & the photos were very poor.
BTW it is a huge relief it got to the biscuit Duncker.

DATE: Do, 30 August 2005 13:54:13 +0100 From: Elsener, Robert Subject: Taschentools armies Dear Sir Thank you for your Mail from 18 August 05 and interest in the products of Victorinox. Unfortunately I cannot answer all your questions, since the information is missing in suitable form. In addition, the information topic is current and important for Victorinox, why we want to arrange worth knowing data (historical and product-technical data). Taschentools for armies Up-to-date belong Taschentools of Victorinox in the following armies to the equipment: Switzerland 0.8610.26 Soldier measurer 3.0323.N with sequential Numnmer for fortress being awake corps Germany since 1976 0.8770.04 olivgruen with sign, nail file on holzsaege since 1985 since 2003 0.8461.M04DE with relief Logo federal eagle, blade for one-hand operation (without tweezers and Zahnstocher) Holland since 1983 0.8201.27 with the label KL (royal land power) since 1993 0.8451.04R with relief Logo Dutch land power Denmark since 1992 0.8953.01R3 with hot coinage Luxembourg since 1996 0.8363.3 with Tampoprint national emblem Norway since 1998 3.0323.3N Australia since 2001 3.0323.3N with diamond engraving NATO stick number Singapore since 1999 0.2303.3 Upgrading is evaluated Brunei since 1999 0.8453.3R2 with Camouflage bowls Malaysia since 2003 0.9123.03R2 with Camouflage bowls and national emblems No more supplies on: Cypern 1999 0.8353.03R2 with Tampoprint national emblem South Africa 0.8610.26 With NATO stick number In India we are still located in the initial phase: We made and to the appropriate places supplied special samples for the Indian army. The first reactions are very positively however like so often in the military business, might it up to the definite order still some last. Holland We stand before the first distribution of burnished SwissTool Spirit 3.0223.3N with normal knife blade in place of the shears. The Dutch army considers even to deliver such an equipment as standard equipment at each military man. Singapore The Upgrading runs in front. The first a hand measurers 0.8463.M3 with the national emblem were already delivered from Singapore. Austria Concerning evaluation a hand measurer and SwissTool progress. We obtain the largest conversion however still over the PX Shops with the American army, only that the military man must buy the measurers there at a special price. Friendly greetings from the "Swiss Knife Valley" VICTORINOX Leader quality assurance Executive master OF Business Excellence Robert Elsener Lanelane lane 57 CH-6438 Ibach Schwyz Switzerland Tel. + 41/41 81 81 219 Fax + 41/41 81 81 959 E-Mail

So Norway uses them aswell as Australia . Unlike my NATO LM Core which we found out from Leatherman that they didn't put the NATO stock number on it looks like Vic puts it on in the factory with diamond engraving .
