Swiss Army Knights Forum / Re: Spartan Saturday!

Hi Dan,
      I never bothered to find a name.  It was always there at the corner of the porch.  It is about 12 feet tall and 8 feet across and needs trimming.  It is absolutely covered with white flowers.  The bugs like it a lot.  I hate to trim the thing, because it makes you itch all over from the contact.  A hot shower after you finish cutting generally cures that.  Best wishes.  G

Swiss Army Knights Forum / Re: What bladeless models would you like to see?

That's pretty much the 93mm line (except for the "bladeless" part).

Yes indeed. If only Victorinox would see it fit to bless me us with a 93mm equipped with pliers and/or the ILP.

I very very rarely say this but I think that one thing that would make this a much better knife would be if it were automatic. I'm not even sure if it could be customised to do that...

I'm sure it's possible, but you'd have to be a highly skilled engineer and "knife mechanic" to make it a reality.

Picked up this sweet Rambler off DLT.

That is indeed sweet. I'm tempted to get one in the distant future!

Day 17

Every once in a while, I buy one of these bladeless multis when I see them on Amazon or wherever. I usually carry them for like 2 days, and then realize they're just adding bulk to my pockets. This one has one of those metals pens, which is neat.

I'm no botanist or horticulturist, so I gotta ask: what kind of plant is that? It sure bloomed nicely!

Saw that hsherzfeld was in the path of some nasty storms. Hope he's okay.

Great stuff from awl!

The previous owner was worse than me at sharpening.

I could give him a run for his money. Nice to see that Wenger is still alive and kickin!'

They had quite the opposite problem in the States: they made so little money that they tanked!
