Winner isn't, the second bidder retracted.
I still can't imagine one of those is worth that much...

3***3 is the infamous bid retracter. I think he is over 40 now.
Guys like Sigsal have no incentive to block the 3***3 bidder because he likes to drive the auction price high. You either need to snipe or stop bidding with sellers that allow 3***3 to bid on their items. I've sent Sigsal a message that I won't bid on anything that 3***3 bids on, so he's lost my business until he blocks him. There are only about 10-15 people who really buy these things - if enough of that crowd tell him the same, he'll block him quick enough.

Why should sigsal block 3***3 ? He isn't the highest bidder and (at least in this auction) he cannot retract...
Don't blame sigsal (or another seller), blame the guys who are crazy enough to pay 300 bugs for a broken knife :pok: :D
One note - Sigsal is a She. Don't currently have her name, but it looks eastern European rather than German or French.

Are luxury automobiles THIS rare??Jazzbass should know what the ending bid was for the last one or two of these to sell. Seems I remember a price of over $400 for one but its been awhile.

Dug around in the trash and came up with a return address name of S. Sbojadinovic. I was recalling an earlier package when I thought the name was that of a woman, but it wouldn't be the first time my memory's been wrong. :think:Slobodan's wife is Svetlana ;)

OK, Jazz said he has 3 of them, I have one and I think Francis(ICFT) has one too. That just leaves everyone else here who does not have one to bid on it. So Karl, it looks like it your time to make a move on it. :pok: :pok: :pok:
Thanks for proving my memory isn't totally shot (yet).
Thanks also to Jazzbass for his insights into rarity. Now if I can just beat him, and Stressmaster, and I Can Fix That to the next Luxury Motorist (fat chance!).

There is a lot of crazy on eBay these days.
Thankfully, when I first started collecting SAKS, there wasn't that much crazy around.
Note the name on the main blade (third photo). A pretty pricey Classic.

This isn't in the realms of mad bonkers like the ebay stuff in this thread but I couldn't help do a double take on the prices of the SAKs in town last week... I know there has to be b&m mark-up but £31.50 ($51 USD) for a MiniChamp! That's £17 delivered from Amazon right now.
I was going to see if I could find a black one with the fish emblem.... that would be special.This isn't in the realms of mad bonkers like the ebay stuff in this thread but I couldn't help do a double take on the prices of the SAKs in town last week...

You're paying for the fancy box. Also the error; the box shows a black knife but is mispackaged with a red one. That has to be worth a ton of money. :D

They have a loot of good deals if you check out their eBay store. I say black Super Timers, MOP Accountants (w/ long file), many different color Cadets and the black Farmers. I asked them on eBay if they ship to the US. If not, I still might order some things and have them shipped to family in Italia.
Neil is not in the US though :)

Bad example... Nothing wrong with this auction. For the SAK being sold the start price is quite reasonable. And then there are bids.
I have one almost the same, except it is Sapphire Blue...
and that sellers description would apply to it just as well.
:think: I wonder if my one is worth several hundred dollars too?

So, what would be the price of that in US Dollars? I don't have CHF in my currency converter app.
For me the big question still is:
When was the old style awl used on red alox?
???
For me the big question still is:
When was the old style awl used on red alox?

I would say from 57 ish to 61 I assume the early pioneer was the prototype to replace the 1951 solder and had identical tools apart from the new can opener.
I guess the change was price driven for the army contract as production costs would have been a lot less for symmetrical scales and a stamped awl.
please notice the use of the word guess and assume :)

What was the MSRP of that new?
I believe it was €170. And where I bought mine they were first offered at a 5% or maybe 10% discount (which I missed).
Classic? :ahhh

Did you guys see the price that the last Alox are reaching in ebay? A green pioneer (I think the South Africa edition) just went for US$265, if things keep this way I'll have to keep growing my collection just in my mind.... :facepalm:
Yes Stax....I couldn't belive when I saw it....the blue alox midshipman went for 225..... But this one I can understand as is from a limited series of 5....but for a regular pioneer, is really scary :DDid you guys see the price that the last Alox are reaching in ebay?

Now that's crazy when you consider these are still for sale at normal retail prices in South Africa.
The Red, Green, Black, Blue and Orange Pioneer are all still available and not expensive at all.
And as they are NOT a limited run they will be available for quite some time to come.
Just shows that some people really do have more money than sense it seems.

That winning bidder is paying huge prices for knives lately, I've been outbid by them a few times.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/380601243063
Wow, over $100. I should go dig a couple of old cards out of my PC junk box and make some money.
I don't think these scales are even very well done. I mean, drilling through the middle of that chip?? That's just ugly.

I bought a used one of those a few months back for less than $30. I wanted it just to get the universal wrench. $233 really IS CRAZY.
Yeah, he(?) outbid me on a Wenger nomad that I wanted just for the wrench.
I do have a 1/2 pint kit of "Water Clear casting resin" which would make a nice covering for those scales.
If I do some they will be encased in that. Also a good idea from the health aspect. Older boards still used lead solder'

There are a couple of mods here done with PCB. One much like you said. I'll try to find it.

Ah, a new one to me, I hadnt seen that before. Looks much nicer with the resin than a naked PCB. I have 10 new spartans that could use some dressing up to sell, that might not be a bad idea.

If you do decide to work with PCB, wear eye protection and a face mask. All the solder flying around and the PCB stinks when you cut or sand it. And it gets in your skin, hard to wash off.

I talked with the seller, I really thought he had made a mistake. But no he really believes it's worth 5K or he would rather keep it. I guess he got some bad drugs, or is in need of some good drugs.
Found a cheap CT clone on a hungarian auction site. 8$. Do you guys think I should jump into it? It's tempting, even looks like the real one, but no Vic trademarks...
http://utazas-szabadido.vatera.hu/utazas_kempingezes_kellekei/bicska_kes/hama_multifunkcios_bicska_1738356329.html
Will ask the seller.
Btw, I know Hama, and that's why I'm curious. For 1600 HUF/~8$/~6 euros, it's a steal even if it isn't legit :)
maybe it's so expensive because it's "clean" :think:

Are they paying for them or again retracting the bids?
Ok, those seem like legit buyers. :tu:No I don't think so either. There seems to be a bunch of money or maybe its just better buying power from China. I have been seeing buyers from China buying up loads more expensive antiques and collectables like watches and stuff.
I feared we had another case of buyers pushing prices up to discourage competition, and then retracting bids. This doesn't seem to be the case here.

This screwdriver can be seen only on Technician. So only two models have such a tool. Important for many collectors.
The fine screwdriver isn't super common, but it was on more than just two models. Regular production models included:
- Technician
- Technician Plus
- Motorist
- Luxury Motorist
- Handwerkermesser
I have 10 of them in my collection
I have a Climber and a Scientist both with the fine screwdriver in place of the pen blade and combo tool (respectively).

I think he is the first to pay over $1000 for a SAK.
Who wants to contact J.L. (over the eBay message system, for example) and offer an invite to here?
We then could know more of that collection and J.L. can know more about SAKs, discover mods and so on.
Looks the person is already famous around here :D

I'd bet good money he's already a lurker here. Some of the knives he's paid good money for are not really rare but are are "Mutlitool.org" famous. IOW, knives that most people wouldn't pay lots of money for unless they read threads here (and pretty much exclusively here) talking about how rare and awesome they are.
When the bulk of the major collectors made the move from the semi-private SOSAK forums to the public Multitool.org forum, prices of SAKs on eBay took off significantly. You didn't really stumble on the SOSAK forum by accident and get sucked in by reading existing posts - you asked to join and had somewhat of a bent for these things already. This forum being public means it shows up in Google searches and draws a bigger crowd - including a new collectors who jump in and feel like they must buy up everything they see on eBay immediately. Prices go up accordingly.
I didn't forget, I just assume Jimmy speaks English. I figure a guy who's spent $35k + in knives from a US based auction site can probably read English. In fact, just to be from China and have the $35k to spend on something like knives means this person is most likely involved in some sort of international business of some sort where English would be a job requirement. He probably speaks English well enough to read this forum.
I think we're delving a little deep here and projecting a ton of stuff that's likely not there.
There is no way to know who this person is, but the person clicking "bid now" most definitely speaks english and understands the American dollar. And they obviously have the money to spend. Beyond that, who gives a damn?

If someone has enough money to go crazy spending on collectible SAKs I am happy for them. My family is low-income but I'm extremely thankful for and proud of the collection I've put together and I appreciate each and every SAK I own. I personally don't care for the jealousy I've detected in this thread.

Yes, some of the speculation in the above posts is bordering on down right defamatory.
You're COMPLETELY wrong, thinking that rich person is defenetely english speaking or involved in international business.
this guy understands English and is probably reading this board because he buys lots of stuff from eBay.
Gotcha. Thanks for educating me. You sure seem to know everything about everything.
I agree with Jazzbass. He may not read English, but i'll bet he uses Google translate.

In regard to the Black Edition of the Jubilee Logo, Vic's blog of January 8, 2010 calls it the "Black Edition" exclusively for the French market. It shows 4 knives, Classic SD, Waiter, Spartan, & Climber but in the accompanying description it states: Classic SD, Waiter, Spartan, & HUNTSMAN. Vic also produced a special run of the "Black Edition" for the South African market: Classic SD (0.6223.3LTD), Waiter (0.3303.3LTD), Small Tinker (0.4603.3LTD) & (Climber (1.3703.3LTD). The Vic numbers are printed on the respective boxes.
It appears that Vic issued 2 sets of black editions, one for the French & another for the South African markets and it appears they may have mixed up the Spartans, Huntsman, & Climbers when shipping the knives to the two markets.
Also, Vic is now marketing the Classic SD Black Edition separately w/clam shell packaging.

Ya the Squadron Set does not qualify as crazy for this thread as that's pretty much the going rate. At one time they could be had for just under $500. If you shop around internationally I think you can get a slightly better deal. I'm waiting to get a better deal, but I'm not expecting it to happen.

:ahhh
This is actually stainless steel and sells new for about $35.Hopefully no one falls for that. It's in rough enough shape I don't think anyone would drop $125 on it anyway. I sent them a message, but they will probably ignore it like most sellers do, but I figger if a buyer files a complaint at least there is something in the record.

I read somewhere that one seller wrote he had no intention of selling at this ridiculous price. In fact, it was to discourage buyers for one reason or another. I don't remember his explanation for this but at the time it did sound somewhat reasonable.
Very good condition? I don't think so.

Yes, I also saw it BIN at $1000. The BIN disappeared when the first bid was made.
Some people use to copy and steal all the time.... At least they did not steal your photos, I hope.
I read some companies raise the price to a crazy amount when they are out of stock, so they keep the listing going until fresh stock arrives, and then they put the prices back to normal again. Could be an urban legend though?
I think that's an option when listing an auction. You can pay the BIN or bid, but as soon as the first bid is in, the BIN option isn't available anymore.
Still there...and not budging:

I look at it this way. In 90something percent of cases people should be aware you cant take a knife onto a flight these days.
Okay sometimes one might forget the "Always" EDC item, especially if it's a bag carry tool. But rules is rules and you're just gonna have to suck it up when they take it off you.
NOW, I'd rather see someone get that knife/MT at a bargain price than the other option of it being destroyed.
Of course the best option would be if "they" could provide people with the option of dropping that item into a bubble pack mailer and paying the postage for it to be mailed to their home address. No knife on the plane, no "stolen" tool and a reminder for the passenger to not do it next time.

90% Of the MT's and SAK's I own came from airport seizures. Our airport does give them to the chapel to sell, so I have no problem buying them. I know the money is going to a good place, and it is far better then them just chucking them.Myself I do not want to buy seized knives and SAKs.

The particular SAK discussed here (a used Deluxe Climber apparently) is listed for sale at $89.99 - not really what I'd call a "bargain price".
If these SAKs would be sold for charity it would be something. But it is a different matter when these SAKs end up sold like this.
Anyway, myself if I see that a SAK was seized, for me that automatically becomes an uninteresting SAK right there.
Recycle the metal and plastic in them, give them away for free, give them to charity, anything but NOT just try to make money out of somebody's else misery (the rightful owners of those SAKs).

Careful.
First of, those aren't listed as RARE, Vintage, ... And those are limited as the current ones I believe no longer come with those boxes, but the plain silver ones. Those were reserved for the initial run. Might not be of interest to some, but it is a difference. ;)
What makes an item limited for you? 50, 100, 1000? Vic themselves produced series of 5000 SAKs and called it limited. These are limited to Denmark. No dealer outside of Denmark can order them and thr ones you see are all bought from the same shop from the link below. Limited enough? ;)
Crazy SAKs thread... :ahhh :ahhh
:facepalm:
I guess my point is that the word 'limited' can be used deceptively. Just because something is limited does not mean it is rare. A knife that is out of production and no longer being made is not a limited series knife, although since it is no longer being made, it is limited in quantity. A knife that is in normal constant production but limited to one seller, is also not limited in the sense that there is a limited quantity being made, but it is limited to the location it is being produced for. And just because something is made in a limited quantity, that does not mean the quantity is in low numbers.
The words 'Limited' and 'Rare' do not mean the same thing, but they often get used in advertising to deceive the buyer.
I'm confusing the sh!t out of myself now. :ahhh :facepalm:

Nope, never seen such a spring. :think: I'd say it wouldn't last long but the rest of the knife looks pretty beat up, and the main blade spring appears to be broken by the position of the small blade. That crest makes me think a Spanish maker for some reason, but I'm currently to lazy to go check. :D

It was rare but not as of last few weeks. They are selling for 25-30 now. Felinevet has them with much cheaper international shipping.

So please pardon my ignorance, what makes this one crazy? Is it actually still being produced in that color or is $38 just far too much for it? Still learning so much about Vic Alox, shame it isn't like firearms that has a price guide published every year lol
It was rare but not as of last few weeks. They are selling for 25-30 now. Felinevet has them with much cheaper international shipping.

That style of alox soldier is referred to as a model 1961. I think that was first year they made it and it looked that way. They all looked the same just with different date stamps on the blade for the actual year it was made. 2008 was the last year they looked like that. :think:
To me that knife is way over priced. $40-60 is more inline to me.

1997 is a tricky year to find as not many were bought by the army , this is why you find lots of random alox with a 97 stamp where they have reused the blades.
The fact it has a keyring is not a bonus as it just means it was not an Army one but one sold off as a pioneer.
Price is not to bad for a 97 with out a keyring it would be worth a lot more

I don't like buying things I wont use but that blade sure is cool. I wish they standardized that blade do I could use it lol. With that said is the steel any different or is like etched on???

To make a true damascus blade the steel has to be folded over and over. After the blade has been made it is dipped into an acid etch to reveal the fold patterns. Certain steels lend themselves better to this process than others. Well, true by todays standards anyway.
Here is some light reading on it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damascus_steel
The steel used on the victorinox damascus knives is not true damascus. It is called Damasteel, and is a bit different. It is the hardest and probably the nicest steel Victorinox has ever used on a knife. It has a hardness of 60rc.
Here is a link for more information on Damasteel...
http://www.damasteel.se/
Do a google search for damasteel, and you will find plenty more information on other forums as well.

It's still considered Damascus steel though. When people say "true Damascus," they're really talking about a specific combination of metals done with a specific technique as was done originally when the technology was created.
Damasteel is just the brand, and in particular the SAK blade is a stainless Damascus. They still etch it, and one of the steels isn't as corrosion resistant so it darkens.
Other manufacturers use different metals and techniques, but it's all still what is conventionally called Damascus steel. Alabama Damascus uses more traditional forging techniques, and you can find those blades in Kershaw's Damascus models. Devin Thomas uses a similar powdered steel method to Damasteel, and creates similarly intricate patterns.
It's all referred to as Damascus steel, because that's what it emulates, only using more modern methods.

Yes or like guitar cables matter I notice I gain or lose decibels depending on quality and length but not noticeable unless your ear is trained. And it has to he pushing max volume on the amp. But for hdmi the only thing you should worry about if you need more than 10 feet than quality may matter and if there are kinks in the cables your using could effect the signal for hdmi.

I like challenge!!!!! :tu: First though the person you asked how long have they played electric guitar? How are they qualified to answer this? Plus you have to dispute this to many many many famous guitarists which may take you a wile I think. :cheers: . When i Googled the question I got a lot of webpages. so one pod-caster who may or may not be qualified to answer will not affect my judgement on this easily i Need more proof that it could be in my head. Since I only accidentally discovered this after maybe my 5-6th year playing guitar before I really noticed which was years ago I may be really difficult to get to admit I am wrong :D. I Just think if you cant hear it you wont believe it like i said a trained ear.

Well, how long (or if) he plays(ed) guitar is irrelevant. I asked some classmates and colleagues of mine, and they say the science checks out, and is sound. If a piece of equipment is incapable of producing that kind of variation, then someone's experience with an instrument doesn't make a difference.
The brain has a very potent talent for finding patterns where none exist, so musicians finding phenomena that they find significant (even where none exist) isn't a far stretch. Occurrences of pareidolia are rampant in music; and it's something I've seen in my 13 years as a percussionist. Most people will believe what they want to believe, and are often too arrogant in their "trained ear" to entertain the fact that things they hear may not be as significant as they think. For more on pareidolia, check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia
I've read that article on Harmony Central, and frankly I'm not impressed. I've read countless articles on this, and I've yet to find one that actually cites decent evidence of one cable providing a marked effect over another, or any talk of the precise measures of inductance and capacitance across cables that would lead to changes in tonality. I suppose a cable that would have an abnormally high resistance would be detrimental to the signal, but that's not really what we're talking about here.
Maybe there is an effect. My main point is that it doesn't actually seem plausible, and I've found no compelling evidence to believe it. I'm not the one making the claim, so I'm not the one faced with the burden of proof. That's left to the people selling the cables and making the claim, and clearly there's a large customer base with a much lower standard of evidence than mine.
You're going to believe what you want to believe, and that's just fine. I'm more convinced that the price tag and packaging of a cable has more of an effect on what the guitarist hears than the cable itself.I'm actually having trouble finding the pod cast if you can link it please.
I already linked it above...
When i click on it it brings me to a page about swine flu lol.
Ok your pulling some stuff from wiki using psychology on me ehhhh :D. Psychology is an ever changing science and I'm not going to try and dispute your link. I think if the person you asked plays guitar or not is very relevant would i ask a dinosaur researcher to research a cure for cancer or would i ask the Scientist with a background in medicine to research the cure? Anyway how can 2-3 guitarist agree and hear the same difference in something that 20 people with no musical background can't hear? Science cant prove god exists or doesn't yet. So i think Science may be flawed in its view on this subject. You say your a percussionist. Well are all drums equal? or just a different Price tag on each? Do all Drum kits sound nearly the same the only difference is the pattern the person plays? Yet people who play drums tell me this brand is better than that brand and these symbols are better than these symbols. How can this be?

I think this one was crazy when it got above the price for a +B copper Farmer, just as rare, which is now up to $120 on fleaBay. Maybe if the name was sanded off I'd give about $50 for it. :P Some... er one is going to seriously overpay for it most obviously.

You're joking, right. ;) Considering Zag was selling his black Ted Nugent Farmer for $1000 and sold it (best price accepted so I don't know for how much) I think it might go quite a bit higher than it is now. I don't remember anything +B going anywhere near those numbers.
But seriously, I'm just jealous that I can't collect with a "price is no object" attitude, hooray for those who can. I still have yet to pay over $200 for any one SAK, which is why I have no damascus models, no super Swisschamps, etc... :salute:

Don't feel bad, I've never paid over $100 for any SAK, and I've been collecting for the most part of 10 years. I couldn't care less about those guys though, because I have some really cool smurf. :tu:
I don't think I have paid more than $40 and rarely over $25. This is my not updated alox collection, the picture is missing quite a few including a copper cadet and red farmerr, once I unpack I will make a new photo:

One thing to remember is the 'crazy' price is not up to the seller, happy to say a few of mine made it on the list :) but in most cases I start them at $20 then the buyers are in charge of the price.
I am not sure that we are not in something of a bubble but there seems to be new collectors with money still coming in so prices are still going up.
There still bargains to be had (I have picked up some nice old 75mm with very little on-line competition) but new in box Alox is currently a sellers market .... and I am going to go home and dig out a few :)
The price of these in Switzerland is also going crazy .... but can it last ?

Not too crazy, but this doesn't look like a brass liner old cross Pioneer to me. If you click on the only photo and zoom in, what you can see of the keyring eyelet does not look brass. On the other end there is also a small bit of liner visible which also doesn't look brass to me. I also think the old cross pioneers sold in the box he has it pictured in were from the later 90's, and those late 90's old cross Pioneers generally did not have the brass liner.

Very difficult to tell from the picture, also new brass can look different, that knife is pristine. The used one I have shows very obviously brass (tarnish), even after polishing.

I wrote to the seller earlier tonight telling him what I posted above. He replied and said someone else had listed it, and upon further inspection, he said that it is in fact an old cross Pioneer without the brass liner. The liner is indeed steel or aluminum which means this is a late 90's old cross Pioneer. The seller told me he is ending the auction, and will be relisting it with the correct information. Good on him for that! :tu:

Good luck, Jan.
I'm still trying to figure this out. But is it possible that Vic in it's collective, but waning wisdom, has not only ceased production of small alox runs, but in fact has selected an elite few buyers to find and buy every possible example available, no matter what the cost, employing both collusion and shilling, to send them back to the Motherland, to reside in a special time encapsulated vault in Ibach, that will ultimately be opened on the bicentennial of Vic's founding, where they will be auctioned off, in a last ditch effort, to buy back the company from Chinese investors in the year 2084, thereby saving not only Vic, but the respect and prestige of the whole of Switzerland?:think: :rofl:

This really boils my blood! :rant:
Yeah, however crazy it is to us who know the prices these sold for originally or are still available, there will be people with deep pockets who don't care about the price tag and want their SAKs NOW. And if someone wants to pay me $250 for a $22 Solo, I for one wouldn't turn him/her down. :P
It is currently an Alox sellers market. If the buyer is willing to pay, then why not ask for the sky? None of these will go cheap any time soon.
The sellers aren't greedy. The buyers set the price by paying for it. If they sold it cheep it would just get bought and resold for more money.
I guess all knives have to auctioned?
I don't see the difference either as a 'buy it now', that's essentially a price tag.
And the buyers don't set the price, they only indicate what the market might bring. The sellers set the price, particularly in a 'buy it now' situation.
It seems as if you think there are no greedy sellers and no ignorant buyers, I definitely do not share this opinion, I see evidence of both, it's fairly obvious to me.
The seller can set any price he wants, but if the buyer doesn't buy it then it isn't the current market price.
To me it is impossible to be a greedy seller.

I'm curious then - how do define "greed"? Selling a knife for more than you bought it for? Tim does that all the time to help support his charity, and you'd have to be nuts to call him greedy. Selling it for a LOT more than you paid?
Here's the problem - I have some knives I want to sell. If NIB red alox Farmers are selling for $200, and I have a NIB red alox Farmer, what do I sell it for? I only paid $50 for it. Do I sell it for $60? $100? If I do, someone immediately buys it and resells it for $200, because that's where the market is right now. It happens all the time. I see knives advertised on this board for good prices sell and show up on eBay in two weeks.
To me, "greed" is taking advantage of someone in a powerless position. Price gouging during a natural disaster, that kind of thing. Selling luxury collectible pocket knives to rich collectors for maximum profit is just good business.
You guys know what I think is the biggest factor in the increase of alox prices is?+1
This forum. Seriously. This forum has been a great resource to promote collecting alox knives. But that cuts both ways - it helps existing collectors, but also brings in new ones. Lots of new ones. Pretty pictures of alox everywhere, it's hard to resist collecting them. Not only are they great knives, there's not a ton of different variations like those annoying Officer's Knives. There's a very well-known set of knives to find. So...
awesome product + NLA production + well defined set to collect + high visibility = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Here's the problem - I have some knives I want to sell. If NIB red alox Farmers are selling for $200, and I have a NIB red alox Farmer, what do I sell it for? I only paid $50 for it. Do I sell it for $60? $100? If I do, someone immediately buys it and resells it for $200, because that's where the market is right now. It happens all the time. I see knives advertised on this board for good prices sell and show up on eBay in two weeks.
To me, "greed" is taking advantage of someone in a powerless position. Price gouging during a natural disaster, that kind of thing. Selling luxury collectible pocket knives to rich collectors for maximum profit is just good business.
Amen
Starting bid $600 for a knife that the current market will support around $200?

From Wikipedia:
"In a 1977 High Times article, Nugent stated that he took crystal meth and defecated in his pants in order to avoid being drafted into the Vietnam War. [1] Nugent reaffirmed this in a 1990 interview with Detroit Free Press, stating that "...a week before his physical, he stopped using the bathroom altogether, virtually living inside his pants caked with excrement and urine." [2] In other interviews, Nugent has denied this claim, stating that he dodged the draft by enrolling at Oakland Community College to get a student deferment. However, his Selective Service classification record shows ratings of 1-Y and 4-F for 1969 and 1972 respectively, indicating ineligibility for military service under established physical, mental, or moral standards, rather than student deferment. [3]"
Draft dodger?
Also from Wikipedia:
In September 2009, Nugent embarked on a hunt near Somerset, El Dorado County, California. He was accompanied by a guide and a cameraman, filming for his Outdoor Channel show "Spirit of the Wild." The video taken appeared in an episode of the show first broadcast on February 9, 2010. California Fish and Game wardens who watched the broadcast noticed that it showed Nugent killing a very young buck which had been attracted by commercial bait. Both the killing of such a young deer and the use of bait are crimes under California state law. On August 13, 2010, he pled no contest in Yuba County to two misdemeanors: illegally baiting a deer, and failing to have a deer tag signed by a government official after a kill. He was fined USD $1,750 by the court and was banned from hunting in California until June 2012. In April 2012 Nugent signed a plea bargaining agreement to plead guilty to two misdemeanors for illegally taking a bear after shooting one earlier at a bait station. He will be fined $10,000, banned from hunting in Alaska and on Federal land for one year and must complete two years on federal probation.[44]
Poacher (yeah, let's film it)?
Also from Wikipedia:
Nugent owns a hunting ranch near Jackson, Michigan, called Sunrize Acres. Anti-hunters claim this fenced facility offers "canned" hunts. Nugent has said, "I understand the criticism from those who say canned hunting violates the ethic of fair chase," though he still operates the facility, and refers to it as "high fence hunting". Nugent was interviewed in October 2011 by Field & Stream magazine regarding "canned" hunts.[42] At Sunrize Acres he personally guides customers on a hunt for trophy bull bison ($5,000), Russian boar, or white-tailed deer ($1,000 each).[43]
Unsportsmanlike coward?

Just as an FYI, virtually all the many special runs I sold were acquired from two great guys in Switzerland. Victorinox never sold them directly to anyone in the U.S. I made about $20. on each one sold because of the prices I had to pay to the original sellers. Many were re-sold later by buyers for many times the price paid to me. That's just the way it is.I allready miss those old time!
Well, now that I look at it, TheCore is doing a pretty messed up thing in misrepresenting those Danish Cadets and Bantams. It's one thing to let the market run with a price, it's quite another to lie about an item.

I got into collecting last March, I never could have gotten anything at a great price :-[
I'm trying though, I've figured out that the only way to get a good deal is to make connections and have good friends :)
I hope the Alox prices eventually go down to a reasonable level. The whole reason I started collecting SAKs years ago was because the prices were fairly reasonable and nearly everything was accessible financially speaking. Not so much these days. Not sure if the popularity has increased or what but man these Alox prices are insane. :think:

By my math of the recent prices, About $30 for the silver, red, black, green with keyring. The three Lumberjacks (toxic green, orange with keyring and copper with red shield) originally sold for about $70. The Danish green is $38 +shipping, the two without keyring and were the limited edition sold with pouch for $55-$60 and all were available within the last few months or are still available. These ten by this math should be worth about $430. The only one from this group that is harder to find is the gunmetal blue Cadet and it seems the fight is for that one. Is the gunmetal blue one worth that much? :shrug: To me it's not, but it seems it is to someone.
But that's other people's money and I'm not concerning myself with how they decide to spend it. Same deal as with people paying thousands and even millions for some art pieces. Beauty and value are often in the eye of the beholder/buyer. ;)
Just thinking, two month ago the light green ones and the sunset orange were hard to find, and Victorinox made a re-run, available for less than $25.... How you will feel if they make a new production of the Gunmetal ones, just after you pay more than $250 for one of those? :whistle:

I think about that sometimes. It would suck, but they probably would not be exactly the same like having a half stop or something so the other Gunmetal might still be sought after. Did the Gunmetals have the half stop?

I sympathize with you I really do but I have found SAKs make bad investments and just don't like the whole idea of Vic or any other company manufacturing instant collectibles. That's the motivation for many of my angry comments. I recently tried to sell recently discontinued black alox Pioneers and Wenger SI's. While I made out pretty well on the SI's, the pioneers I broke even. That's just how it goes. I tried to make a profit but failed but should I complain? No. And if Vic and Wenger were to crank up the presses tomorrow and produce a million black pioneers and SI's, I'll be exceedingly happy...Just thinking, two month ago the light green ones and the sunset orange were hard to find, and Victorinox made a re-run, available for less than $25....

There were rumors that black Pioneers were discontinued which made the prices shoot up just a bit for a little while. They seem to be popping up again at normal retail prices.I don't like when good things get discontinued. Just look at the PST and how hard it is to get a nice one now'adays. ::)

For quite awhile last year CVH was selling the set of 5 colored Cadets with leather sheaths for $165 on eBay. That worked out to about $33 per knife. Now a year later, some of those are being sold at more than 5x that amount.

Yep and CVW refused to split them up. Luckily I bought all 5 for about 55$ with international shipping per piece. They make a great collection but this inflation is completely unjustified

Geez, I got a quick glance at that site before my Webroot blocked it as a "suspicious threat". Hmmm :think:This is probably an interesting auction to monitorNever seen that model before. Why is it so desirable?

Basically it is not a SAK but a "Laboratory Tool".
This means very high price and not available for purchase in standard shops.

Somewhat high starting price but considering the prices colored ALOX has been going for lately, I have a feeling this one could go for quite a bit higher.
Instant collection of Bugnard gold colored SAKs.
http://www.ebay.de/itm/251524106311
You know that you can get them much cheaper on http://bugnard.ch/ArticleResult.aspx?search=victorinox
Also the brütsch-rüegger red alox knives on http://www.brw.ch/shop/produkte/detail/index.html?t_ProduktNr=457750&t_Method=experts&t_Options=&t_SearchValue=victorinox&t_Marke=&t_TreePath=&t_SubSearch=&t_Dimension=&t_Bezeichnung=&t_EigeneArtNr=&t_OriginalNr=&t_CacheID=&t_Nav=&t_CID=1&t_Neuheiten=&t_Aktionen=&t_MyTools=&t_OurTools=&t_Node=0
So why pay that much... I don`t really understand. Saw one bugnard sold for $300.- thats really crazy. They are unlimited alox knives! I`m pretty sure that everybody can order alox knives from victorinox in every color you want as long as you order at least 20 peaces.

Personally I wouldn't sell mine, not even for 1000$, I'm just interested in what kind of mindset you need to have to think of this as worth of 600$. However, I learned not to judge others' choices, people have the right to do whatever they want to. It just annoys me because there are several models from the limited runs that I want, and now it turns out I'd have to get a loan or sell a kidney to afford one
Are there always the same buyers?
Do they want to carry their knives or put them in glass-box?
I don`t really understand why they pay that much for a knife. Or is it an investment-buy? As a collector, its almost inpossible to have every color of every existing alox special run. Or do they collect only cadets for example?
I`m pretty sure that one day, the whole hype for alox knives will stop as fast as it started. I already see many new sellers who sell knives they bought much cheaper directly from victorinox or from a special dealer. High supply means low price.
If victorinox is clever, they will start a business where everybody can order the alox knife they want, every possible color, every possible model available, for a reasonable price, around $ 100.- a knife. Then there will be no more business over ebay where only the rich can buy the things they want...

It does not render the knife unusable. The majority of the people who buy it most likely will not use it, but that does not mean you could not use it just like a typical Farmer.

Some farmer in Texas whipping out his 24k TTC Farmer to dig the chaff out of his combine? Maybe... ???
I know this is a matter of personal taste, and many may disagree but I think that gold plated Farmer may be the ugliest alox SAK I have ever seen. The gold plated tools just don't look right with the matte silver scales. It might look good with black or red alox, but the silver and gold combination just doesn't work in my opinion.

I thought the only plain blade was made for +B and it had the Phillips and Reamer on the back and not a Corkscrew.
Edit: I see the +B version had the CS only and some where produced with and without a tang stamp of 09 on them.

As far as I know, the 2) was not made to the order to Swissbianco, and it was made for the largest online SAK group in China. Notice the emblem of their site on the blade.
And the super blurry pix at the end...how on earth does this person got 100% feedback?
It's a single spring scissor model...

Looks to me like a 1983-'85 knife at about 10 times the price they usually go for. It seems to be in good condition, but he's saying it's a 1970s SAK. Doesn't look '70s to me, but I'm no expert.

Wow. I was wondering about that one. I know 1890s usually go in the 500-600 range, but that's for Elsners or Forges. Never heard of Stadler Zug, which is probably part of the 1300CHF price. Any info on these?
Is $899 a bargain, or what ?Quite a cool knife though. :tu:

Maybe a decimal point mistake? It's their first auction.Nope, that's on purpose. I saw this one last night when it only had a $299 staring bid and a $499 BIN. Looks like the seller has reconsidered and isn't just going to give it away at those prices, so they corrected to the current $450/$680. At least shipping is a bargain at only $32. ::)
Should be: bid $4.50 buy $6.80 ?

It may seem like a lot of money, but remember that this is painstakingly annoying work by hand, which takes many many hours. You pay for the engraver's time and effort, as well as the final product, not just the SAK.

Most definitely. Hopefully the buyer understood this otherwise the seller will be getting asked for a return, despite having done a pretty good job of describing the knife.

Keep looking. Except for 2008, 1983 is the most common year for Model 61 Soldier knives. Many to be found in excellent or even NIB condition.

If you click on the "a***a" part of his id you can see his bid retraction history.Here is another one, but this one has a catch. The bidder a***a (357) is from Germany and uses a bid and retract technique. He very rarely actually buys or wins anything. He just likes to bid prices up and then retract.

How is this retracting done? Was he perhaps just outbid?

How is this retracting done? Was he perhaps just outbid?
In one of my old auctions he used 2 id's to bid up the price and then retracted both bids near the end and planned on re-bidding with a snipe bid at the end in hopes of scoring a cheap winning bid.
What an A-hole......Yes, but can you believe he actually asked me WHY I banned him from my auctions? And this was after I had already sent him a warning statement about what he was doing. I have eBay messages and an image of his retractions on my item as well as his name and email should anyone here want to add him to their banned list.
Yes. Like if I was to bid $100 on a $50 item and then bid $99 with a second id it would max out the top bid at $100 which is way over the top of it's actual value. Then cancel or retract both bids in the last minute or so and re-bid with minimal bid to win.I have a history with this guy. He tried to buy something from me before.

So in effect he bids it up hoping that others won't out-bid him and then retract his bid near the end to decrease the amount. Crafty.

Did you report him to eBay?Yes, several times and even today when I see him doing it I try and get some attention from eBay toward his actions. Ebay has not divulged anything of course but I suspect they can not really do anything or maybe they don't want to. Laws in Europe are different than here in the USA.
It's an old practice and I hoped eBay would have dealt with such individuals by now. :-\

How does this work? Most folks looking at the item will acknowledge the item is overbid and probably will not bid even with a snipe bid since it is overpriced. Then with all the high bids retracted near the end there is no one watching or has it on their snipe list so it goes for cheap.
It does not always work though as there are many who manually watch and bid at the last second on auctions too. :P

Someone could call fleaBay directly I suppose. Sellers should (MTO sellers especially) cancel any bids by this buyer immediately, I know that's an option. Sorry R. :(
This SMURF really needs to be banned :twak:. I thought only under "certain" circumstances could a bid be retracted :think:. 10 retracted bids should have had the bay taking action but seriously 500+ :megaslap: to both the SMURF and the bay.

If someone needs to retract a bid, perhaps they should not be permitted to bid on the same item again? It's not big penalty. No big loss. It's not like their life is depending on it.

No penalty at all, as they have two user-id working in cahoots. So the first user-id wins (for a cheap price) after the second bid is retracted (from the second user-id).
I think it's called shill bidding

I'm always suspicious when there is only one bider on a high price auction. That one bider can a be a seller friend building up the price so when they put that same item up for auction again, there is a new high reference price. Back in April there was one sold in US eBay for less than the US$1,600 the seller originally wanted. http://www.ebay.com/itm/181697879801?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I have the same thinking too, that all these atrocious prices do not reflect the true demand-supply situation. Potential buyers, especially for such rare and expensive SAKs, often refer to past records of ebay transactions. By using two accounts to put up the auction and then jack up the price, a seller creates the false impression that the particular model in his possession is actually worth that much, so that buyers will jump into it the next time they see it put up for sale again.

Looking at pictures on Sakwiki I don't see 35 teeth on the saw of Artisan or Huntsman small.
Also what model has a 39 tooth saw in 91 ?
Is this Kirky's fault ?
91mm on right. JB can tell from the PAT.

When you open the backtools on a 84 and imagine a line, this line touches the tip of the Victorinox logo. On a 91 you have a ca. 5mm distance to the logo.
I hope you understand, what I mean. My English is just a bit above school level. ;)

Well, large V tang so post '87, and no brass liners, on the other hand it is a no keyring Soldier version. Maybe they're scarce, I don't really know. I wouldn't personally go more than $100 or so on it, but only because the engraving plates are not my favorite things. Someone(s) obviously wants it pretty bad judging by the high bids. :salute:

What makes you think they aren't? If it were me I wouldn't say anything after other members just finished talking about how absurd the price was.
At least it has toned down these days. A year or so ago it wasn't unusual for the members to actually call these winners names and belittle them.
I'd pay a lot for the right knife but for me it's perception. It's hard to pay 150+ bucks for red ALOX because I've seen them at $25-$40 for so long but a vintage stag GEC folder at $150 seems a fair price. That being said, for the right OC Farmer, at the right time, I might go $200.00. So to sum it up.....
...I have no idea what's going on. :facepalm:

This seller is notorious for slapping "new-in-box" prices on rather well used knives.
This seller is notorious for slapping "new-in-box" prices on rather well used knives.
True, but I'll say this - at least you get an honest representation of what you're buying. There's a very well known seller on eBay called dm4976 that is notorious for selling knives that have had their blades re-profiled because the tip broke off. He/she knows what are desirable knives, takes ones with defects, re-profiles and then sells them as " VERY GOOD, COMPLETE & CLEAN CONDITION WITH VERY MINOR USE."
For example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NTSA-VINTAGE-SWISS-ARMY-VICTORINOX-84mm-1970s-ELINOX-LUMBER-JACK-POCKET-KNIFE-/381479179306

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NTSA-SWISS-ARMY-VICTORINOX-VNTG-ARMEE-SUISSE-HUNTSMAN-MULTIFUNCTION-PCKT-KNIFE-/381478560902
I have no problem with the repair work, mind you, I just think its extremely disingenuous to say "minor use" after the blade's been repaired from heavy use. In some cases it's actually hard to tell from the pictures that the work's been done - that 1950s Huntsman, for example, looks good if you don't know what one with the full blade profile should look like.

The sad thing would be if there are ignorant collectors who follow the previous transacted prices blindly and bid on it
What a Jacka$$! I hope he wins it from himself, then has to pay himself but backs out and has to give himself a bad feedback score!!!
So there! :whistle:

Was wondering... is there a way to know if a transaction ACTUALLY takes place after the auction ends? If it does take place, at least they'll have to pay eBay and PayPal some fees to make their scheme believable.

I stopped buying after i got a surprise like that in the mail. ;)
But I stopped buying from the US anyways a few months after that so I doubt she noticed. :P
A friend of mine swears by her name, says she's extremely nice and loves buying stuff from her. Weird... She's my Facebook friend too and she seems like a nice lady. Having seen the photos above, I agree that there's mismatch between the description and the photos...
Did you see this?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Wenger-Dynasty-Series-Lancelot-Swiss-Army-Knife-Circa-1993-Discontinued-/191749120629?hash=item2ca5236275%3Ag%3A8eIAAOSw7FRWWzn%7E&nma=true&si=uu3HBDMsya5IJLyY99jltaKdUBc%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
I understand these kind of knives have some appeal (most from US buyers), but more than $ 400 for this knife is simply too much.
I can even recognize a forum member you placed the bid of $ 435. It would be interesting to hear the logic about it.
I think someone posted this earlier...
The original price for this Classic was $250 - What a joke
http://www.ebay.com/itm/EUC-McDonnell-Douglas-Boeing-F-15-Ejection-Seat-Pen-Knife-Swiss-Army-Victorinox-/281876846283?&autorefresh=true
I watched it just for interest.
After several relistings and no sales of course the price went to 150 and now 75 - I offered 15 just for a laugh
I think someone mentioned earlier he would never sell at that price to a SAK guy (no I don't mean you SAKGUY) - But maybe a aeroplane or MacDonald Douglas enthusiast ??
Greedy and not very clever seller!!
Red alox Bantam. Listed earlier today, already at $200 :o

Main blade is 1/2 inch short. A least they say reprofiled and with a top down closed pic it is easy to see.

I've bought several knives from her in the past, one quite recently. She's nice, ships quickly and sends exactly what you bought. Answers questions quickly too. What's she's doing can be considered a "gray area" depending on your perspective. For example, if I buy a car for cheap, replace the tires, vacuum it and wax the body and resell it for more, that's legit right?
With collectibles though, my opinion is that you should either (a) leave it in original condition and let the buyer refurbish as they want or (b) refurbish - then clearly and explicitly call out said refurbishment. She does neither, which is what I have an issue with.
She's sold over 10,000 knives in the last 5 years. She knows quite well which knives are collectible and which are just $10 Spartans. Overall the percentage of refurbished knives is somewhat low - there really isn't a lot of value in refurbishing a late model TSA seized Climber. But the knives that are sought after?Refurbishment probably runs 10% or greater.edit - I just looked because I was curious. From July 2014 until today, 35% (21 of 60) of knives from her that I consider "collectible" in some way (pre-1974, 84mm scissors, Scientist, Yeoman, Alox, etc) have some bit of work done one them. If you see a knife from her with a bail, clip point blade, exposed rivets, etc. - be very careful and inspect it closely.
Here are some examples - in none of these was the re-profiling mentioned. Some, like the pen blade in #1 and the main blade in #3 are obvious when you look at them. Some like the main blades in #1, #2 and #4 are less obvious but noticeable if you know what to look for. Caveat emptor.
FWIW - the finish work on the re-profiling of the blades is actually quite well done. It still needs to be called out, mind you, but its still pretty nicely done.
What really bothers me is that I can only tell that a blade has been re-profiled in half those pictures. I really need to improve that if I'm going to keep buying online.
:ahhh:sa: ... but, in fact, a Standard for 600 bucks it's quite rare :facepalm:

What really bothers me is that I can only tell that a blade has been re-profiled in half those pictures. I really need to improve that if I'm going to keep buying online.
Here's the method I use - look where the main blade meets the tang. On all Victorinox knives since 1951 there should be a prominent notch between the blade and the tang. If there isn't the blade has been sharpened and/or re-profiled. Now this isn't always 100% - I've seen blades that were re-profiled at the tip that still have the notch present. But if you see the notch is missing, you can be sure the blade has had some work done.

I do like that knife though. That'd make a nice one in the collection, but not at that price I'm afraid. Even with the crazy money alox is bringing. I'd be too tempted to mod it into an electrician anyway.

The pictures are a copy from a different seller with decent reputation from Australia.
The seller you mention is new and has no reputation (except for only 1 positive review from a buyer with 0 feedback who bought an item almost immediately after it was listed).
Don't get fooled. This is a scam for sure.

Hi,
Sorry for possible off-topic, but probably someone can explain me reasons of "strange" behavior of this seller (http://www.ebay.com/usr/jw45caps)?
He (or she?) have listed very nice lot: SuperTimer in new condition (see attachment), than seller have closed this lot and relisted it again (with the same price).
I've asked my friend (from USA) to buy it for me (because seller doesn't offer shipping to Ukraine), but seller again ended listing. Later on seller re-listed it again (with the lower price) and in few minutes lot was marked as sold :(
There are no own pictures of knife in listing, by the way. Can it be any kind of fraud?
Thanks!

Usually, I have no problem with outrageous prices as long as the items are authentic (a guy is currently asking for $1800 for a damacus Wave). But it really rubs me the wrong way when sellers blantantly misrepresent items or spam with keywords "like leatherman, leatherman type".... If they want to include brand names in titles (in hope to sell off some knockoffs), they better throw in something authentically associated with the brand names.
IMO, eBay is money hunger, and will do anything to make/ let you sell stuffs. So, I see quite a few items I reported still being listed.
I had to go back 6 pages to dig this thread out.... May I present, the most expensive victorinox box!!! :facepalm:

Not suggesting anything bad but this is definitely a little crazy
4 Victorinox Collector Society knives are currently up on ebay but each knife is being sold by a different account all with Zero feedback from the same town ... I can think of no reason a seller would create an account for a single auction .... just seemed a bit odd

Anything wrong with setting up the reserve? Just curious.People are wary of new sellers is all. No one wants to be scammed, and there is a fear (rightly so) of that happening. Posting lots of very clear pictures helps, as does writing a good description.
In fall I tried to sell 2 Vics, created a separate account to keep the SAK related trade outside the account used also by other family members ;) therefore the account had zero feedback. Despite stating clearly that I'd mail to US and Europe only, I've got number of off-eBay requests from China and no bids. So I've closed the auctions.
I am therefore trying to get any info how bidders react to similar new account auctions.

It is family members. The father (a member of Vic Collector Society) passed away and the children are selling his collection. Each of them seem to have inherited different knives.

A non disclosure on this knife? Clearly modern elements and a hack job on the modern scales to accommodate the reamer. I Hope no one on this forum did this mod and tried to pass it off as something that it's not? They do list a replacement blade, looks more like 2 different SAK's combined; some old, some new.

Must be a typo, cos Seitz Kreuznach seems like a fairly reasonable seller. I've bought several odds and ends from them over the years.I agree haha just got 2 pioneer x from them very cheep
Not that I would encourage anyone to hit "Buy now!" on that Excelsior, however!
Drunk? Too much money? Don't know the difference between a Rucksack and a Hunter?
This could be your next SAK! Why spend 25 Euros on a Victorinox Rucksack when for just 75 you could be the proud owner of this "Vintage" "Hunter"? You know it makes sense, etc...
81 euros including postage. I don't know why they bother.

My sentiments exactly. If not for the blade stamp and the weird shield on the cellidor, I would have bidded on it too
Some Boy Scouts did very well in life. Always Prepared , you know. I'm sure it will sell quickly.
This seems pricey for a baker knife with a bent tip ... it is an old one but still ......Can you explain how those biddings went?

It looks not unreasonable the current winner has put a huge initial bid in and the other has jumped it a few times the other guy seems to be bidding in a more Ricardo standard style :)
If you bid below the current max it shows the same amount for both bids (but the first bid always takes priority)
Just $690 for limited "Alox" ;)

Not Vic, but the price is so ridiculously high and the seller so clueless I had to post it here.
Seller admits that it might even be a modern KA-BAR, which I'm certain it is (never saw an actual issue MK II Fighting Knife with that "USMC" Sheath, nor did I see one with "USMC" anywhere on the knife itself, only "US" or "USN MKII"), yet they charge more than 3 times what a new Ka-Bar USN MKII is. Looks obviously used, and the sheath repaired This is what I tell people is the other end of uneducated sellers--they charge stupid money because they think its old and worth something, without even bothering to research.

That's got to be the worst Chinese SAK copy I've ever seen. Not worth $0.25 never mind $250.
But I think we have a winner :)Free shipping!

Not that it is not a rare knife but $10000 is a little rich
Roughly made, roughly used, and only 20 times what a comparable Vic would go for.

Although from the oxidisation and wear on this one I'd say its been used for its intended purpose !! :tu:
Shame about the cracked scale - But I bet it would scrub up reasonably well with a little soapy water, oil and care
Only posts to Germany :twak:
Thank you, jazzbass! That explains a lot - I've seen a couple of knives with this defect and always wondered
if it was due to some desinfectant, oil or something alike.
When I first saw this poor fisherman I thought about buying it, just to try out how it will clean up.
What do you think, folks?
Should I get it and post pictures of the restoring process?
Tomcat
So now, you can officially call me "crazy" ;-)
Bought the wreckage, but as some may know, I have a soft spot for wrecked knives:
http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,65385.0.html
Let's see how it cleans up.
Curiosity killed the cat ;-)
Tomcat
Good luck! The scales will probably have to be replaced completely. One of the ones I had cleaned up really well, but within a month or so everything was corroded again - esp the inlay and the bail. Looks like the front scale on this is cracking through, which means it will start disintegrating. Whatever is coming off the scales tends to eat away at the outside liners too, so they may need to be replaced.

Thank you for your thoughts!
I'm expecting the inlay to be completely corroded - one of my Spartans of similar age had its shield transformed into a greyish, extremely brittle substance. A complete loss and way too thin for being rescued.
Well- let's see, I'll show it in good macros.
I'm also expecting the worst from the liners and the (possible?) file/metal saw as they have been a real headache on middle-aged Vics for me. That's why I started to be fascinated by the brass-lined, old ones.
The scales will be something to experiment with, maybe I'll find a way of giving them some stability. I've done so on older, non-victorinox knives, just for the sake of rescueing the old look.
Turned out far from perfect, but at least something to keep the hands busy with.
And finally, if everything else fails- I (and you) will have gained some pictures, a nice thread about a doomed knife and maybe even some tools to be salvaged and re-used! Frankenstein yo-ho!
Tomcat
Show us photos of the rust on inoxidable tools, it is interesting!
Thank you, jazzbass! I've forgotten make my own photos of rust. I had the same problems with this knife and after the regular cleaning of rust on the tools covered the surface with varnish to prevent the release of gas. Let's see what comes out of this, at least stop rust knives that lie in the box next to this toxic knife. Here is next knife in the box: (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170218/db4ba97d4205d0abae4e43779aa3a073.jpg)Show us photos of the rust on inoxidable tools, it is interesting!
Sure. Here is the same knife - a blue Fischermesser - that I picked up years ago. The front scale has totally disintegrated and fallen off, but it looked much like the one in the auction in question. Note the rust on the top of the main and pen blades, the file (being plated steel and not stainless at the time is the most susceptible), and the top of the caplifter. While this does look like your standard dirty eBay knife, I have cleaned off portions of the rust and can tell you that it has pitted the surface of the tools.

Could there are some "fakes"/copies around? You just have to take a LE 2016 and replace the scales. No engravings on the 2010, only the 2010 on the plate.

As a buyer I care, a lot. If it isn't a picture of the actual item then what I receive may be different to what I thought I was buying. I rely on the photo to show me exactly which variant it is, and in what condition, I am purchasing. I have been known to send tools back if they are not what was shown in the pictures.

If the seller had been US based and offered shipping I would have offered five bucks explaining that the knife is in so bad shape, it's barely good for parts. The blade has been sharpened heavily with a powered tool, and the can opener is warped.

The seller's name is quite appropriate.
I don't know if this price is right, but given I paid $20 for my 42 in about the same shape, I think $125 is really high for this well used and grinder sharpened M1908 Soldier, especially given another seller has one for $150 in very good condition for a 70 year old knife.

High price for a soldier in that condition ..... But that is a pretty rare set of Tang stamps
With soldiers the price is all down to the year and the condition
and the condition can really make a vast difference in price .... not as bad a comic books but a Perfect knife can often sell for twice the price of a knife most would consider excellent.

I'm definitely kidding. The most I would pay for any SAK is $100 max... and it had better be pretty special... like mint in box birth year soldier or something.
I wish I could bring myself to spending that amount on a single SAK once... :(Once or twice is enough. I´m not going to collect mods; it´s their very personal nature and uniqueness makes them special. I´m getting the Boatsman because it would make a great companion for my Delemont RangerGrip Gardener.

Is there any reason to believe the three KL knives he has in that first listing are illegitimate or fake? They look alright to me.
As for his prices, value is in the eye of the beholder. But if he's selling fakes that's a different matter altogether.
Just trying to learn,

Seller has been listing this one for 6 months at $650, finally dropped the price to $550.Been over a year since your post and seller still hopeful for $550.

Remindful of the guy standing on the street corner selling PENCILS for a $100 each...
when asked if the price isn't too high the guy says "maybe, but I only got to sell one"
So take the estimated market value,It is 2000$-2500$ (imo) so he is marking up 60%, not 1000% as you say.
So take the estimated market value, multiply by a factor of 10, and list it on fleaBay. :facepalm:

Sell me one at 1000$, payment by PayPal, G&S, I will pay the tracked shipment and I will cover the Paypal fees for you.
You will earn 100% over your fair market price.
How about that?
if I could get $2000, why don't you pay me that much?Well, the fair market price is not 500$ then, right?

You are fast to change your market evaluation, good.
However. Where did I say I would pay you 2000$?
I have not said that. I offered you 1000$ + extras.
So you can assume that for you, the seller, starting price must be 1000$, since you have already one customer who can confirm what he says by the cash payment.
Would you get 2000 or not is the matter of an auction trade. I believe - will reach 2000$.
Unsold and relisted for $3040 or offer. :ahhh

That's why no international shipping. I have lost a few to customs theives.
I don't think there are any potential buyers anywhere at that price though. :D
I sent a phone to my daughter in Canada that had some bizarre tracking after it hit customs. It never was delivered, but fortunately the post office honored the insurance claim. I have had a few other incidents, but rarely if it doesn't involve customs. I will still ship international, but now I don't expect it to actually arrive. :D

Never had any lost items with over 200 international transactions (buying and selling). But I only ship insured and only to countries that offer tracking until the point of delivery. It did happen a couple of times that tracking stopped at the border but I never got complaints from buyers that an item didn't arrive. You may not expect it, but in almost all cases when tracking stopped this was in the UK or in Germany. So I try to avoid Royal Mail and Deutsche Post as much as possible and use different carriers like DHL for the UK and Germany.
As much as crazy Ricardo CHF price may seem it is not quite fair market. Many Swiss collectors and sellers are reluctant to deal with outside world. The other week I sent couple of emails to tutti.ch sellers. I am looking for Michel Jordi SAKs, and I found 2 new in original box listed, the prices are 150% of what I would expected on ebay but still... Nobody even bothered to reply. :D
Swiss post is one of the best in the world (after Dutch post, of course) but still people are not open internationally keeping it all local.
there are a lot of sellers, even on fleaBay that will not.There are a lot of companies that provide mail-box services in the US and EU, but Switzerland is outside of European Union. Besides the Swiss like to use uberwesung (wire transfer) and do not accept Paypal. Having these peculiar properties I cannot fully consider their prices as average \ fair market.
Does anyone know why this Pioneer got $306? Was it possibly because there were two bidders in war? Or maybe something I don't know.
Item number 163614177510
That seems awfully high to me.I was thinking the same thing. His starting price was $150 when seems high but perhaps okay for new in box.

Don't think it's worth $235. It's similar to the two-blade Grafter, but instead of the budding blade, has the clip point blade. I sure wish it was still being made.

$675 and 6 1/2 hours to go:Sold for $985.09. Not at all crazy (and, as we can see, the early climb to $675 was just foreplay). It seems to be a very early Elsener officer's knife (a model 237, to be more precise) with a wood saw and a "Gesetzlich Geschützt" stamp on the screw driver. If Ulli's table (https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,50014.60.html#att306974) is correct about the range of years when the gs stamp was used and Victorinox (https://forum.multitool.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=75774.0;attach=356509) is correct about them starting to make SAKs with wood saws in 1902, then this SAK should be precisely from 1902. One of the very first Victorinox SAKs with a wood saw. It's quite exceptional to be able to date such an old SAK so precisely. It's also quite remarkable (at least from my personal perspective (https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,76257.0.html)) that the wood saw has 23 teeth. This is the first time that I see such a thing on a 90mm/91mm Victorinox SAK. Also, the condition appears to be excellent for a carbon steel SAK of such an age. All in all, it seems to be a real gem! Congrats to whoever won the auction.

I didn't notice anything that could be viewed as an armorer's stamp, but that's about all I could notice.

Both knives have the small Swiss cross. Very faint on the first one (first piccie)
If they are fakes the manufacturers have aged the metal amazingly - As GF says - Maybe restorations
I would say the rivets look like they were made by more modern machinery ??? - See the small ring inside?
Tang stamps? - Or lack of ..... The wood is in too good condition? ???
Go on Ulli tell us - You, of all people, should know !!
Now here's something that kind of surprised me:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/233299417680
Why did people bid that much money ($ 265) for a Safari Hunter?
The title may suggest it's a Fireman, but obviously it isn't because it doesn't have a Fireman logo on the scales. And yes it has a bail, but anyone can put a bail on a Safari Hunter (or on any knife that has a hollow rivet), that doesn't make it special.
I think the main point is its a fireman because of the tool set a safari hunter has a plain curved blade and a fireman has a serated curved blade the logo doesn't make it a fireman although it is nice to have.

Serrated and non serrated Fireman
I m not sure if this info from sakwiki is correct or not. I have seen too many of those "zurich" fireman recently to believe that only 1000 units were produced. By the way, its quite easy to put a bail to a "normal" fireman to say its a "zurich" fireman now :-)
So I`m pretty sure, that this engraving was made by a modern laser engraving machine - easy to be done. Why? To increase the value. Maybe not done by this specific seller, maybe someone sold him this knife. There are many "fakes" around.
PS I agree with the comments on the Stadler Zug, and I would not buy anything from that seller. Before he passed away, Stefan Schober gave me a list of sellers not to EVER trust and the seller of that Stadler Zug was 3rd on his list.
May I ask if he also gave a reason for not ever trusting this seller? Because I have bought from him a couple of times without any problems.Do you know his eBay name?

Yes, that was crazy. The same seller had those two Farmers that appeared MIB and the price they fetched surprised me too.

This guy is trying to sell a BSB marked multitool for at least € 200.
BSB = Brigade Speciale Beveiliging = Brigade Special Security, which is a special Dutch Military Police unit.
The printing on the multi-tool reads "Vigilans et Fortis". This is the motto of the BSB.
This seller however 'sold' the multi-tool to several people, and then with each buyer he withdrew from the sale by saying that he just received a higher bid and he was going to sell it to this higher bidder. In the end he hasn't sold it, but instead now the bidding starts at € 200.
I don't wish him good luck with his sales, because of his unlikable way of doing business.
But maybe one of you guys is willing to buy the tool.

New 2020 damascus for 1000 Euro. I know they are popular but not that popular, yet
There are more available on eBay , within the EU for nearly half that price, and they are also in shops, so I doubt anybody will buy it for that much
Today I bought the last in the Netherlands on-line available specimen. Seems they are rather hard to find by now.
:worthless:

I know, I know... But, but... It first has to be mailed to me! Then I will unpack it and make a picture of it.

I am afraid not. The seller has renewed that listing already. They started out at $7.999.00 :facepalm:So this then....... :rofl:
US $5,999.00 !!!! is serious money. Is that even vaguely in the ball park, or just a prime example of a greedy seller looking for a sucker ? ....
Picked on up in early June.. Been my edc while out in the "Wilds" .. Nice knife..

Crazy isn’t always on the seller’s part...
This seller does a good job of showing the issues with this knife (IMO)...and they clearly state the cracked spacers/liners in the third sale description.
I’m wondering if it’ll go for sale again.
On the other side of crazy, I gave $10 shipped for my 236maU (kinda like a Ranger) of that era (WITH the cracked liners), and I got an Irish Shamrock Classic SD and an older Imperial USA shell handle knife with it in the same lot. I don't get how someone else missed it.
$130 is quite a bit.
Invest in knives, I say to my wife.
Look at that enormous gain in value!
Forget the stock exchange... go for swiss steel.
This seems all so ludicrous to me. A question to those of you who have been collecting for a while: just when did the prices of ordinary vintage SAKs started to skyrocket?
Someone posted a link earlier to this guy's Black Beauty - But he has got a ton of overpriced exhibits!!

But there still the thrill of finding a bargain and so far I've been able to score plenty of 1975-1985 models for under $10.
I agree SwissMix2020. I've found the best bargains when knives were just described as "Swiss Knife" or "Altes Taschenmesser, Rot, Dachbodenfund" :)
And I think Huntsman knows about SAKWiki :cheers:
Anything pre 1973 is going to be expensive. For now, nobody seems to care as much for late 70s to early 80s models. Not sure why?I think you can answer your own question:
They sold millions of these thingsProduction ramped up during that time. From the mid ‘70s, they ‘couldn’t keep up with demand’. A new facility was completed in 1980. Knives from that period aren’t particularly rare and are pretty easy to identify as you said.
And yes, patience. Lots of patience. I bid on several a week and may walk away with just 1-2 per month. If anything, I am probably helping those sellers get a bit more for their auctions...

I suppose finding ‘bargains’ is relative. I can’t really get too excited about finding a knife for under $10 that’s worth anywhere near $10.
This blue Alox 2015 Limited Edition Pioneer is already at € 351, with still 3 days to go. (I have no involvement in this auction!)
I think yhat's an awful lot of money for a knife that originally cost about € 45 in 2015.
