The Break Room / Re: Der MTO Stammtisch (German speaking Thread)

« Last post by matzesu on Today at 04:24:40 PM »

Danke schon mal für die Antwort, ich war mir ein bisschen unsicher ..  aber gut der Chef der Firma ist wohl der frühere Wenger Chef..

Ich frag mich gerade wie das mit dem Versand nach Deutschland abläuft : die Schweiz liegt zwar auf dem europäischen Kontinent, ist aber nicht im Schengen Raum..
also wird da vermutlich eine Zollgebühr drauf kommen und Einfuhr Umsatzsteuer.. aber gut ich fand wie gesagt die blauen Griffschalen nicht bei einem deutschen Shop..

Ps; wie in einem Forum üblich darf ich gerne geduzt werden..

Scales are still beautiful but pocket worn. So satisfying to have a knife that had a full life, just imagine what it was use to cut…

Hallo an alle, mal eine ganz doofe Frage: wenn dieses blaue Swiza Messer bei mir ankommt: darf ich meine Erlebnisse damit eigentlich bei den Swiss Army Knights posten? Ist zwar eigentlich kein Victorinox aber trotzdem ein originales Schweitzer Taschenmesser..

General Tool Discussion / Re: What do we have on the way?

Even though i allready bought 2 Swiss Army Knives whit the Delémont EvoGrip S17 and the Huntsman in Black I was not 100 % Happy, so i did decide today to just order an Blue Swiza D09 :
It’s got this cool big Swiza Scissors, an Saw and an Lockable Blade, so the same Size as the S17 and the Huntsman..

I did order it directly at Swiza in Swiss ,
I wonder how expensive the Custom Fees will be because Swiss, even though it’s Part of the European Continent is not an Part of the Schengen Room so it’s might be the same as shipping from USA whit the Analogue Pocket, but I did not found another seller of the Blue Version..

General Tool Discussion / Re: Sharpening methods

« Last post by David Bowen on Today at 03:02:37 PM »

For sharpening started I've been using my Sharpmaker. Does an excellent job and it's easy to use. Instead of alternating left-right on the flats of the stone you use the edge. Then doing three times on the cut side and ones on the backside. Doing this for a few times and depending on how long it's been since being touched up it shouldn't take long.

Before the Sharpmaker I would use a tapered diamond file, and it would absolutely butcher things.

Swiss Army Knights Forum / Re: Sterling silver Princess with bail?

« Last post by Espen on Today at 02:33:15 PM »

Yes, Hallmarking has been an established practice since the 1300s and it got started because it should interestingly enough demonstrate that the silver content was equal to that of an English penny. I did look through some literature i found online, but it did not help me identify the maker. The ribbed nature of the scales gives room for interpretation though as the strike is not that clear.
