"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.

   Had to take a Wenger thinger for a walk.  Wenger brought his little girlfriend along.  That scamp.  Best wishes.  G

    Not much Winging lately, so I took a spade and dug up the old Wingman/Sidekick Club thread.  Best wishes.  G

Couple more things to try from the dating chart
- You have a big V in Victorinox - So post 86 - EDIT: Oops you awlready got that one :-) - But chart says post 86 not post 85?
- Also does it have a bump on the scissor rest - If so post 88 ?

Having a five year date range is pretty good IMHO
Although others here can date a SAK down to the hour it left the factory !!         

Great model BTW - It seems to be my main EDC at the moment
