Swiss Army Knights Forum / Re: New to me Explorer

That's probably as close as you will get without having a dates receipt of purchase. Even if you did buy it in a store in the 80's or 90's. It could have sat on the shelf for years.

87 to 90 is not a bad range.

I have a Buck 110 EcoLite Paperstone. MY 2011, in green I bought a few years back. It was collecting dust in a local True Value hardware store. Probably at least 5 years old or something when I bought it.

I have an explorer that has a 2 digit year printed on the white inside box (older, burgundy box with fitted white inner cradle box). But some of the knife dating features dont necessarily match.

I did not meant that your Swiss Army Knive should you protect from the dangerous Animal in Austria, only that they are much more dangerous than a guy whit a Pocketknife..

One Moment Please: An Country where every second Animal trys to kill you bans ? So they get a worst Knive Law than Germany in the End..

Most of the things that *can* kill, don't actually try very hard to do it, unless you go out of your way to annoy them, so it's not a huge issue, day to day.

Also, most of the things that can kill you (and might try) are protected, so you're not actually allowed to kill them anyway, unless they've already started trying to kill you.

Finally, most of the the things that can kill you, if they decide to try, you don't have huge window of opportunity to do anything about it (an irukanji is about the size of a fingernail, and for all practical purposes, invisible)

All in all, the wildlife is a fairly moot point.

"Okay, just stay calm and nobody gets hurt. Just put the money from the register in a bag and be quick about it. I'm serious here. I have a pair of nail clippers and I'm not afraid to use them. Don't think I'm for real? Here goes. I'm gonna clip off TWO of my fingernails. Right down to the quick. There. Now you see. Get me a bottle of wine off that shelf too. Not that one....the white. I'm having fish tonight."
Best wishes. G

Im an old F#$t and I still remember the old days.

Hopefully I'll reach that honorable status too one day, but even without that I can remember getting my first SAK at 10. A Victorinox Fisherman (?) if I remember correctly - something fishy anyway. And of course I brought it to school to show off and compare with whatever other versions others in the class had. These days we would probably have been rounded up and made national news or something.

Of course, back then we also had monthly drills for quickly and organized evacuation into the schools bomb shelter - I guess the politicians were busy with bigger issues.
