Edged Tools / Re: Case Knives
« Last post by BPRoberts on Today at 11:09:17 PM »
On the one hand, I'm broadly unenthused with intentionally limited collectors editions of any kind. I'd prefer pieces be available to whoever wants them.

On the other, I recognize that collectability is probably the only reason Case is still in business after all the other big east coast cutlery companies went under, and I appreciate that they mostly do cosmetic collectables, and keep most of the patterns pretty widely available.

It's not ideal, but I think it's probably about the best balance we're likely to get from a company in the current market.

Hey Otonka, is there any way you could take a photo of what the Swiss Champ looks like in its slip?
Of course. Sorry for the late response. I like the slips larger than the SAK.

Just got this from TahoeLeather and it’s the nicest slip I have owned. Very high quality and it’s nice that no brands or branding has been embossed into it. The metal rivets give it a nice extra touch. It fit’s this Cadet well and covers the whole knife.

What size did you order?  Looks great.

Joking aside, this is a good compromise, don't you think ?

Good mod, but I don't like too much because he can move freely around that pivot point.
I was actually thinking to make holes and thread them to put a free series pocket clip. I'm not sure would work, but it's something I think I will give it a try soon.

The Break Room / Re: Revived Sos Surprise Box GAW ( US edition ).
« Last post by IMR4198 on Today at 10:19:24 PM »
   Since none of our European friends have actually seen the US surprise box, maybe you might like a better idea of how to make one.  Without getting into specifics, the Surprise box has things like pens, lanyards, paracord, watch bands, lights, carry pouches, one-piece tools, SAK parts, and sheaths.  There are multi-tools and knives as well.  If you will look at the things kept by the US members, you will see all of these sorts of things.  Most recipients keep a few things and put some items back.  Some of them are expensive.  Some are not. 
   I remember friend Antti sent an item to Frenchephaistos recently.  We have several Finnish members who could potentially be part of the game.  If anything could be sent from Finland to France (you already know, Antti), the box could circulate around France and maybe some neighboring countries.  Depending on shipping and laws.  There are lots of UK members, but their new shipping laws might not allow entry. 
   Find out what works.  Put together a few things and see who wants to receive the box and then pass it on.  If nobody does it first, it won't happen.  It could be done satisfactorily with just items like I mentioned and NO knives at all.  Best wishes.  G
