I am on the market for a Victorinox Engineer in New or barely used condition. Let’s talk.

I've wanted one for some time, especially during my time in Siemens Mechatronics Level 1 and 2 classes, as the tools were items I needed regularly. My plans are to make my own using parts from the Automobile and an Explorer.

I am not rushing, time is on my side.
Post by: Marc_in_NS on January 10, 2018, 04:35:44 AM
Thank you for considering my request.
Post by: Marc_in_NS on January 13, 2018, 06:20:17 PM
Just bumping this up...
I am still lurking on the web, looking for a Victorinox SAK “Engineer” model. I realise that their numbers are limited but would love to have one to accompany my “PLC” tool collection.
Cheers and Thank you.

Are you looking for one to carry, or to collect?
If it is the former, an alox technician or cellidor automobile are easier to find, and would be suitable tech-driver donors for a mod.
That would the route i would take, anyways. :)

T14,
It would be for my collection only and not an EDC knife. It would become a shelf queen.

Not trying to wind you up here so take the following with a grain of salt.
I make a SAK and sell it to person A, they sell it to person B who now treasures it as the real deal.
Isn't it interesting how the mind can be happy when it doesn't know it doesn't know.
Just out of curiosity, what is an Engineer worth?

I understand mate.

Zoidberg,
Well, to me, it depends on the condition. If it’s “like” new or never used it will be more than a used one that’s been sharpened by a debutante. In dollars, it would be more than a Scientist since it is more rare. By rare I mean the “blue” one; issued by the Telemecanique corporation. That to me is a prize worth looking for.
How much would you need to make me an engineer model from parts?
Post by: Marc_in_NS on January 31, 2018, 01:48:30 AM
This is your homework for the next couple of days. Find out where the expression:
“The real Mc Coy” comes from. I will require sources and a list of references. You have until Friday the 02 Feb 2018.

I would build it for free but you would have to find the parts and cover postage etc.
Seriously, I would ask Syph, one he is closer to you, two he might have the parts already and three he does it for a living.
Finding a tele corp one would be totally awesome.

To quote "Uncle John's Bathroom Reader Plunges into History Again" (a great, nearly 100% accurate source of trivia), page 144 "The most infamous rumrunner was sea captain Bill McCoy, whose liquor was of such high quality that it led to the expression 'the real McCoy'".
Take your pick!

"The real McCoy" was the inventor Elijah McCoy,born in Canada in 1844. He had many different inventions including an ironing board and a lawn sprinkler. Other companies copied his devices, but these never worked as well as Elijah's so people would say, "I want a , and make sure it's a real McCoy."

Nice work pfr, Elijah’s most famous and rewarding invention was a boiler, one used in the era’s locomotives. His boilers and associated plumbing became the best product a railroad company could obtain in that era.
