Title: SAKs in public places (or other multitools)
Post by: Top-Gear-24 on May 24, 2012, 08:55:59 PM
Don't know if this has been done already, but in this topic I would like to see pics from your multitools in public places, be it historical places, famous landmarks, tourist attractions.  They don't have to be "world famous" places, a pic from your Leatherman Wave in the town square, or your Victorinox Camper during a nice day out in the woods with the family, anything goes.

So, make your family and friends think you're going nuts by taking out your Gerber MP400, placing him in front of Mount Rushmore and start taking pics.

P.S. Don't get into trouble, it might not be a good idea to place your Leatherman MUT with the blade out at the gate of Buckingham Palace to take some snapshots  ::).

I will place the first shots, hope somebody else will follow or this will be a very short topic  :dwts:.
I've already posted the following pics here in other topics, but for now they are the only ones I have.

Here we go:


First one is my Victorinox Explorer at the historical site "Bayernwald" in Belgium, at his site you can see some original German trenches from World War I.

Here you see the same Victorinox Explorer at "the trenches of death", also in Belgium.  These are Belgian trenches from World War I.

And here a more recent one, my Victorinox Spirit, pic taking during a hike at the "Nahtsief" trail in the Belgian Ardennes last week.

Thanks man, but the "your Sak outside" topic is booming, so I think this one will die a slow, silent death ...  :-\

I blame the title of my topic ...  :doh:

Went back to the Ardennes again yesterday with the wife and kids, took a nice 11 km walk there and passed a monument in honour of 7 British Airmen that died there when their plane crashed on the 23th of april 1944.

So I took a few pics from my Spirit on the monument site.

I always try to combine my intrest in WW1 and WW2 history with my love for hiking in beautiful places, and luckely (and in some way "sadly") enough there are lots of those places in Belgium.

Great pics guys!

Great Idea for a picture thread. I am a bit of a history geek myself, and this is just brilliant!

Here are some of pictures from the saks outside thread, but with a bit more history.

PS. Top-Gear-24 I didn't know about this thread. If I had I would'nt have opened the Pics of your SAKs outside thread. Sorry.  :oops:

My Wenger Evo S111 in mouth of a Valkyrie's horse. This is a copy made from the original cast of a simiilar statue in Denmark. This one Stands in the park around the Kobolt mines in Åmot Norway. The mines was active at the end of the 18th century, when kobolt was essensial for dying blue cloth and glass.

My Pioneer staning in the wall of a 18th century abandoned farmhouse in Åmot. The first registered people who lived in the house came in the 1790's. However the registration of people living in small places like this was not common in earlier times. There has probably been living people in the area longer than that. The last people who lived in the house moved in the 1960's.

My Wenger Evo S111 standing in a bridge over the river Simoa in Åmot. This bridge is a part of the old Kobolt mines roadsystem. To the right of the picture, wich you can not see, stand several buildings that was a 18th century roadstation/inn and a part of the kobolt road.



In a few weeks I'm going to be a part of big Viking fair at Borre on a site of several viking gravemounds. I'll see if I can sneak in a MT pic while I am there. (even thoug I'm strictly forbidden to carry modern tools, and electronic equipment as a partisipant) :viking:

No need to apologize my friend, so we have two topics with nice pictures from great tools in great sceneries, I don't mind ...  ;)

I keep checking both of them to see if there are some new pics.

Nothing special, just a pic from my Swisstool in my backyard, but I thought it looked nice so ...

Went back with the wife and kids to the Castle of Horst yesterday (our boys just love this medieval castle) and took some pics from my Vic Explorer inside the castle.

Not the best of pics since the light in these kind of places isn't great, but here they are ...

When I go to the coast, I always take my Spirit with me, I also took my ST300 along, tucked away in a plastic zip-tie bag, in its sheath, stashed away in my camera bag ... (can't be too safe when it comes to Leatherman tools vs salt water exposure in my opinion  ::)).

Nice pics TopGear  :tu: Oddly enough it's the Wave I use in gritty environments  :-\ I feel there's more clearance for particles to find their way through and out. I'd rather let that take a battering than a Spirit (plus I can strip it down if something stubborn gets inside)

Thanks for the great pic mate  :tu:.

And there's love for any kind of tool here, don't worry about that  ;).
I almost picked up a Suspension myself last week at the local shop, only reason why I didn't bring it home with me is the fact that I'm saving money for my trip to Germany in April (I would like to have some extra cash with me, just in case I would come across something special over there  ::)).

I know there won't be a lot of love for this tool.. But I wanted to trial it for myself as I got it cheap enough,

So here's my suspension up the mountain whilst on a dog walk :-)

Thanks for the great pic mate  :tu:.

And there's love for any kind of tool here, don't worry about that  ;).

Cheers dude.. Over all i dont see it as a "bad" tool.... feels quite strong but i do find the blades a bit on the small side.. although i knew this before purchase so i cant really moan about that..

Im just a fan of these tools in general :-)

p.s good luck with the saving

Thanks for the great pics David, keep them coming my friend  :tu:.

I've got some new ones myself, took them last week at a local "zoo", when I saw one of my all time favorite cars standing there as decoration, I just had to place my Vic Spirit on it and take some pics.  The fact that me and my wife and kids were almost alone in the zoo (only saw like 2 other couples the whole afternoon) made it easier ...  ;)

Just got back from my 4 day trip to Germany, and here are the pics (will post some of these in the "pics of your SAK uotside" topic also).


Here goes...

First pics are taken near a town called Wolf, on top of a hill right next to the town there's an old monastery ruin.

My Vic Spirit at the begining of the "klettersteig Calmont",  Calmont being Europe's steepest vineyard (more info, click here (http://www.weingut-franzen.de/en/index.htx/455b2e27e7cb06453d9a014682cad422)).
The "klettersteig" is an exiting hiking trail trough this vineyard.

Great looking pics mate, the Charge TTi (it is a TTi that I see right ?) is the most photogenic Leatherman of all in my opinion. 

Thanks for keeping this topic alive my friend, if it weren't for you (and a few others) this thread would have been long death and forgotten by now  :salute:.

I really don't understand why there aren't more people posting here, the "pics of your sak outside" topic is very popular, but only a few people seem to be posting something here.
Although this topic was created first ...:viking:.  (any reason for posting a viking cry is a good one I think  ;))

Oh well, I'll just try to see it as this topic being "more exclusive" ...   :think:

Yes, a TTi. I don't know why more aren't posting in this thread TG24. It's a good thread. I`ll try to keep posting pics of the MT on the go. I usually have a camera and Mt around it is just remembering to take the shots.    :)

I have to work the next 12 days, but I hope I can go on a hike the first weekend I'm free from work, so I can also post some new pics here (I can't leave all the work to you, can I ?  ;)).

Greetings from Belgium,

Eric

Went out searching with my metaldetector yesterday after work, along with a colleague/friend of mine.  Found nothing special, some World War I stuff (shrapnel balls, bullets, bullet casings ...), but I did have a great, relaxing time (it was about time I did something relaxing ...  ::)).

As always, my Spirit joined me, along with my Explorer.

Here are some pics:

My spirit and my friends Kick, actually, the Kick belongs to his dad, he owns a Fuse, and he bought his dad 2 Swiss Army knives lately ( I fear I might have infected him with the SAK virus ...  :-\).

Went on a hike in the national park "Hoge Kempen" here in Belgium, for you guys in the States/Canada, our national park is about the size of a handkerchief :D.

Anyway, here are some pics from the tool that joined me (yes, the Spirit ::)).

Rebar at a local stone bridge made in 1904. As you can tell it has been repaired a few times.   :)

Visited the "open air museum" Bokrijk in the north-east of Belgium last thursday and my Spirit joined me  ;).

Bokrijk shows how people lived in Belgium around 1913, more info can be found here (http://www.bokrijk.be/en/openluchtmuseum/detail/3-museumdelen.aspx).

Anyway, it was a beautiful sunny day and here are some pics:

Yesterday was quite a hot day here in Belgium, and because I have to work this weekend, I had a day off yesterday, so we (me, my wife and our 2 boys) went to the Ardennes forest (east Belgium) to find a bit of refreshment next to (and in ...) one of the small streams there  8).

The simple things in life are often the best, right  ;).

Here are some pics of my happy place:

These pics were taken at a small airfield near a town called Spa, in the east of Belgium, we passed it on our way home from one of our hiking trips, and we saw an old RF-84F "Thunderflash" and a Mirage 5B at the side of the runway, and I just couldn't resist ... (note: there's no engine in the Mirage anymore, but I still thought it looked impressive  :D).

Looks like the Deluxe tinker had more luck with the weather (although I must say that the rain makes the colors in these pics look very warm and nice ).

Here are the first pics from my trip to Germany, I visited a small town called Beilstein (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beilstein,_Rhineland-Palatinate), on the hilltop next to the town there's a ruin called "Burg Metternich", that's where I shot these pics.

Halfway the climb (in the blistering sun ... )

Here are some pics I took at the Celtic "Hunnenring" circular stone wall in Otzenhausen (http://www.keltenring-otzenhausen.de/en/virtual-circuit/introduction.html) Germany.

The "wall" can be reached after an uphill walk (about 3 km), and it's truly an impressive sight, there's one stairway to get on top of the wall, this stairway was made in 1837 for the visit of the then Prussian Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm IV.  We had the wall for ourselves the entire time, even on the way to the wall and the way back to the car there was nobody else around ... which made it an even more magical moment ...

So, here are the pics:

And now, some very rare pics ... me  :D.

(I told my wife to focus on the scenery, not on me  ;)).

Had a day off at work yesterday so we (me, my wife and my 2 sons) went to the Belgian coast to visit the site "Raversijde" (http://www.west-vlaanderen.be/kwaliteit/Leefomgeving/raversijde2/welcome/openairmuseumatlanticwall/Pages/default.aspx).

Here are some pics:

After we visited Raversijde, we went to the beach the rest of the day, we had a great time and we saw a Belgian Seaking helicopter (see pic below, not my pic ...) pass twice, which is not so strange, but the second time they past was in the evening, and we were almost alone on the beach so I told my boys to wave at them (me and my wife didn't wave, I didn't want them to think we had some kind of emergency situation), when my boys started waving, the Seaking made a short 360° turn over the sea to pass right over our heads, which really impressed us, how cool are these guys ...  8)

Thanks for that awesome pic dks, you'll probably know by now (after seeing some of my pics in this topic) that I'm really fond of pics with a "historical/military" background.

So, do you have some info on the location where you shot that pic ...  :pok:

It was in Belgrade Fort.
They have an outdoor collection/museum of military equipment from several wars, mainly canons and tanks. I have posted some more pictures in the Random photo thread.

I forgot to thank you for the info on where the pics were taken  :-[.

Thanks my friend, I did google "Belgrade Fort" and it sure looks like a place I would love to visit one day  ;).

Here are a couple of Leatherman pics for a change  ;).


First my Rebar, this pic was taken at the end of September, on one of those last sunny days ...

And here my ST300, these were taken at the end of October, and as you can see, the sun had already left us there ... (pics taken with my small Casio camera + bad lighting = grainy pics  ::)).

See Terry, it won't be too hard to get rid of them. :D  The hard part will be explaining to the owner just what your trying to do.

It's about time I posted something in my "own" picture topic again ... Since I haven't been to any "special places" for some time now, I'll just post a pic of my Swisstool inside my livingroom on the pool-table my boys got for Christmas.

Visited the "open air museum" Bokrijk in the north-east of Belgium last thursday and my Spirit joined me  ;).

Bokrijk shows how people lived in Belgium around 1913, more info can be found here (http://www.bokrijk.be/en/openluchtmuseum/detail/3-museumdelen.aspx).

Anyway, it was a beautiful sunny day and here are some pics:

I visited Bokrijk when I was a kid. The place still looks the same. Then again, it still looks the same as it did in 1913. :facepalm:

Are the "Bokkerijders" still hanging out there?

Yep, that place is "frozen in time", I love the fact that you can "go back in time" to get a glimpse of how things used to be ...

And no, haven't seen any "Bokkerijders" there, just some nutcase taking pics of his multitool ...  ::)

P.S. Apologies for my late replies, I haven't been online in quite some time  :-[.

About time I posted some new pics in "my" topic, so here we go ...

My trusty Swisstool joining me on a nice hike, only about 4 miles away from my home (sometimes you discover these beautiful spots only a short walk away from the "regular" path you've walked on a thousand times before  8)).

Okay, not really a "public place", just the regular "photo-shoot spot" in my backyard ...

I just wanted to take some pics of my favorite Victorinox tools versus my favorite Leatherman tools  8).



First my Swisstool vs my ST300:

Boys and their toys ...

(The Lego figures are from a new Lego set my boys got, but that doesn't mean I don't get to play with them, right ?  ;)).

My family and I went on a day trip to Germany yesterday, we went to the area known as the Eifel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eifel) region.  First we had a nice hike around the city of Gerolstein (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerolstein). 


(http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/xx39/Rikske77/Victorinox%20Swisstool%20Eifel/072_zps538313c7.jpg) (http://s739.photobucket.com/user/Rikske77/media/Victorinox%20Swisstool%20Eifel/072_zps538313c7.jpg.html)

During this hike we passed the "Papenkaule", which is the crater of an ancient volcano (see first pic for info).

First some pics of the scenery (no way to get the Papenkaule and a SAK in one shot ...  ::)).

During the same hike we passed a place called "Juddekirchhof", which is an old Gallo Roman temple site, build in the year 124 AD by the Roman Marcus Victorius Pollentius in honor of the goddes Caïva.

Later that day we went to a place called Emmelberg.  The Emmelberg is a volcano, estimated to be somewhat over a hunderd thousand years old.  Due to quarrying the volcanic layers have become visible.

Since this topic is slowly dying anyway, I'll use it to post pics of my tools, be it in a public place or just in my garden, like these next ones ...  :-\

So, here's my latest multitool, a brand new Leatherman PST, complete with box, leather sheath ("real leather" sheath, old style ...  :drool:) and original manual.

The sheath has spend the last 12 years in the clossed original Leatherman box, so when I opened it the smell of the old style sheath/Leatherman was the first thing I noticed ...  :dd:

The date codes in this PST are 0102, so it's not an early PST, but still, it immediately gave me that classic Leatherman feeling, everything fits great, nothing is rubbing against something it should not be rubbing against, it's nicely polished, it gives this nice "click" when you close the pliers and the handles meet ...

I just love these "old" Leatherman tools ...  :2tu: (and they look so awesome on pics  :o)

So, here are the pics:

Seems like Romanians really like multitools ...

My parents, my uncle and aunt and a couple of others founded an organisation that collects medical supplies ("old" hospital beds and medical equipment and stuff like that), and clothes for a village in Romania.  From time to time they rent a big truck and transport the goods to Romania themselves. 

On one of these trips they met a goat herder there which acted as their guide on a local hiking trip in the mountains, and at one point, my uncle used his Leatherman for something (don't know which model, he got it from his children as a gift and as far as he knows, there's only one type of Leatherman  ::)).  The goat herder saw it and said that he had never seen anything like this strange plier/knive/screwdriver ... tool. 

The goat herder was so impressed that , at the end of their trip, my uncle decided to give him the Leatherman, and the guy was overwhelmed ...

My uncle had to buy himself a new Leatherman when he got home, because he didn't want his children to know that he gave away the present they bought him :D.

Since this topic is slowly dying anyway, I'll use it to post pics of my tools, be it in a public place or just in my garden, like these next ones ...  :-\

So, here's my latest multitool, a brand new Leatherman PST, complete with box, leather sheath ("real leather" sheath, old style ...  :drool:) and original manual.

The sheath has spend the last 12 years in the clossed original Leatherman box, so when I opened it the smell of the old style sheath/Leatherman was the first thing I noticed ...  :dd:

The date codes in this PST are 0102, so it's not an early PST, but still, it immediately gave me that classic Leatherman feeling, everything fits great, nothing is rubbing against something it should not be rubbing against, it's nicely polished, it gives this nice "click" when you close the pliers and the handles meet ...

I just love these "old" Leatherman tools ...  :2tu: (and they look so awesome on pics  :o)

So, here are the pics:

Propped to the correct angle by the saw, since the flair for the OHO would lean it the wrong way

Great pics guys, thanks for sharing them  :tu: (and keep 'em coming  :pok:).

P.S. That frog jumping against your leg must have been a scary moment, here we don't know anything as dangerous as a rattlesnake, but if I was in the USA and something like that happened to me, it would scare the c**p out of me ...  :ahhh.

I was not scared  :whistle:   but my brain defaulted to "worst case scenario" mode.   :rofl:

I panicked for a minute (might have screamed like a girl :shrug:  )  been then I was all cool again :waving:

Now I'm trying to picture that ...  :D

Did it sound something like this ?

Probably,  I was too busy ensuring positive bladder control

True, but it does have a lot more functions than the average watch ...

And, when worn on the wrist, it could act as an emergency floating device  :D.

My family and I have been away on vacation last week, we went to Austria, to a place called Bürs in the state of Voralberg (the west of Austria, pinched between Germany, Lichtenstein, Switzerland and Italy). 

I planned out a lot of hiking trails, only problem was the weather, seems like,in seven days, all four seasons passed there (sometimes even in one day ...  ::)).  We had sunny weather, fog, drizzle, heavy rain showers, rain of biblical proportions ... and even snow, yes, in the middle of August ... SNOW  :ahhh.  We also visited Vaduz, the capital of Lichtenstein, where I bought my two 130mm Saks, and where my son bought his camo Huntsman  ;).

I will be posting pics here the next couple of days of the trips we made (some with SAK, some without), some of these are taken with my regular Canon EOS 400, others are made with my small, waterproof Casio (for obvious reasons  ::)).  These last ones are not always best quality, but there were a couple of days my Canon stayed tugged away in my photobag, packed in a plastic bag and rain cover ...

Same for my Rebar, first time I took it with me on vacation and I never took it out of its plastic zip-bag.  Normally I take my ST300 with me on vacation, along with a Spirit, a Swisstool, my Swisschamp and my 111mm Vic Soldier.  Yes I know, overkill ... but I only take them with me so I can take pics of different knives/tools instead of always the same one (or at least that's what I'm telling myself  ;)).

Stay tuned, pics will follow  :D.

Here we go ...

One of our hikes was from a lake called "Lünersee" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%BCnersee) to a cabin called "Totalphütte" (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totalph%C3%BCtte).

The day started out overcast, but dry, but halfway through the climb we entered the clouds and things got cold and moisty.  By the time we reached the Totalphütte (2385 M elevation) we were in need of a hot bold of soup with some slices of breath.  And while we were enjoying the warm soup and the heat in the cabin, it started to snow outside, so when we started the descent, things were looking even worse than during the climb ...

Here are some pics of my wife and my sons during the "dry part" of the climb.

(http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/xx39/Rikske77/Austria%202014%20Lunersee%20and%20Totalphutte/229_zpsffcd848a.jpg) (http://s739.photobucket.com/user/Rikske77/media/Austria%202014%20Lunersee%20and%20Totalphutte/229_zpsffcd848a.jpg.html)

Here's a pic of me and my oldest son (you can see my youngest son on the left, and my brother in the middle on the background) when we reached the Totalphütte after the climb.

So we started the descent in the snow, which changed into drizzle, and after a while we were still in the clouds, but it was relatively dry ...

Since it started to clear up a bit, it was time to take out some Saks and take some pics.

Here's part two  ;).

These are pics of our trip to the "Hoch Joch" (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hochjoch_%28Verwall%29).  This was on one of the rare days that the weather was good ...  ::)

Since we (me,my wife and kids, my parents and my brother) climbed to the top of another mountain the day before, the original plan was to go to the top of the Hoch Joch with two different chair-lifts (not sure how you call these things in English) and do an easy hike on the top of the mountain, but due to the hiking trail being in pretty bad shape (I think they were building another one of those chair-lifts and doing so, destroyed a big part of the trail), we didn't make the closing time of the highest chair-lift, so we had to descent to the lower chair-lift in a hurry, before that one was closed to ... In case we didn't make that one either, we would have had a long descent ahead of us, which would have taken us long after sundown to get down to the valley.  And with only one person carrying two led-lights (guess who that was  :pok:), that would not have been a nice option ...

Anyway, we got to the lower chair-lift in time, luckily ...

Here are some pics:

On our way to the top:

Then we went to the other side of the ridge and there were these beautiful mountain lakes, surrounded by mountain ridges ...

From these lakes there were these small creeks flowing into the valley.

Here's part two  ;).

These are pics of our trip to the "Hoch Joch" (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hochjoch_%28Verwall%29).  This was on one of the rare days that the weather was good ...  ::)

Since we (me,my wife and kids, my parents and my brother) climbed to the top of another mountain the day before, the original plan was to go to the top of the Hoch Joch with two different chair-lifts (not sure how you call these things in English) and do an easy hike on the top of the mountain, but due to the hiking trail being in pretty bad shape (I think they were building another one of those chair-lifts and doing so, destroyed a big part of the trail), we didn't make the closing time of the highest chair-lift, so we had to descent to the lower chair-lift in a hurry, before that one was closed to ... In case we didn't make that one either, we would have had a long descent ahead of us, which would have taken us long after sundown to get down to the valley.  And with only one person carrying two led-lights (guess who that was  :pok:), that would not have been a nice option ...

Anyway, we got to the lower chair-lift in time, luckily ...

Here are some pics:



Looks Great!  looks like fun too!

I think these will be the last pics from my vacation in Austria.

These are taken during our hike through the Burser Schlucht, a narrow canyon.  Only bad thing that day was the weather, downpoor the entire day meant we would get wet, soaking wet ...  despite "The North Face" Gore-Tex, Jack Wolfskin "Texapore", we even tried umbrellas ...

All pics during this trip were taken with my waterproof Casio for obvious reasons, and since it was a wet and dark day, some of them might be a bit blurry  ::).

Here are the last pics of my trip to Austria.

These were taken on top of the "Golmer Joch" (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golmer_Joch), a 2124m high peak in the south-west of Austria.  We went halfway up with the chair lift, and continued on foot to the top, only my brother, my oldest son and me reached the cross on top of the peak.  The view was stunning, we were literally with our heads in the clouds  ;).

Here are the pics:

These are taken near the end station of the highest chair lift:

On our way to the top ... (first pic is where we were going, second one is the view from where we came  ;)).

And finally, we reached the cross  8).

I hope you guys enjoyed the pics  :salute:.

P.S.: My vacation is officially over now, since I have to get up for work in five hours (I should be in bed now, instead of behind my laptop  ::)).

Only thing that bothers me is the fact that they put those ridiculous paper stickers on the scales...  Some of those get of quite easily, but others  :poh:.  And even if they are "the easy" type, they will still leave a sticky spot on those beautiful red scales  ::).

Back to the Ardennes last weekend (I know ... again ... but here in Belgium the "High Fens" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Fens) are one of the most desolate regions you can find, that's one of the reasons why I love to go there  ;)).

This time we went to the "Baraque Michel" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baraque_Michel), from where we started our hike, which went along the old "Belgian/Prussian" border, there are still some nice old (1830) border stones here, as you can see on the pics  ;).

There's even a very rare "SAK tree" over there, but I'm not going to give it's exact location here or the tree will be gone in no time ...  :P.

Indeed my friend, very quiet ...
This topic has never been as popular as the "pics of your SAKs outside" topic, even though this one was here first, thank you Grathr  :twak:.

(just kidding mate  ;)).

Now seriously, I said it before and I'll say it again, I blame the title  :rant:.

So, it's about time I post some new pics in this topic, here we go ...


My latest Victorinox, a Rangerwood, joined me on a hike last weekend:

I know this one looks a lot like the first pic, but there's an extra model on this one :D:

Nice.

I like the wood  :drool:

I agree that the SAK part of the title should be removed, so that people understand that it is for all multitools/SAKs

That's my oldest son on the same hike, where he brought his "first SAK", his "Huntsman camo" and his "Soldier '10" along with him to take pics of them. 

Needless to say my wife gave me one of these  :facepalm: ...

Edit: I'm going to check out the pics my boys took during this hike and I'll try to post some of them one of these days in this topic ;).

These last couple of weeks we've had some amazing weather around here, normally it rains here from October until the end of March ...  ::)

So I went on a hike today to enjoy the beautiful autumn colors under this nice winter sun, days like this instantly put a big smile on my face  :D.

So, I decided to take some pics to share this beautiful day with you guys  ;).

I just love the 130mm Rangergrip series, both Wenger and Victorinox models.  And I see you also use the NiteIze S biner, I also own a couple of those (one metal and a couple of the hard plastic ones).  And once again, a pic taken in a truly public place  :tu:.

Thanks for sharing them  :salute:.


I can't wait for the summer vacation so I can find some nice new locations to take some pics of my tools :dd:.

Last week my boss approved my yearly vacation (we have to request the vacation days we would like this summer in Januari  ::)), and since my boss gave me the green light (except for a couple of days around Christmas ...) I can go and start to plan my summer vacation.  And the day after my boss gave me his approval, we (me, my wife and kids, my parents and my brother and his girlfriend) booked our next vacation.  By the end of July I hope to have some very nice pics to post in this topic.

I'll probaby post new pics before that time, but I think the ones from July are going to be very special  :whistle:.

I see it thanks to the lanyard. It helps me picture the cow as it reminds me of the ear tag people put on livestock sometimes  :facepalm:

An eyesore it seems to me too. So did this:

P.S. These pics were taken with my new (and my first) Smartphone, eventually (after my old, no nonsense Samsung B2100 died on me) I have stepped into the 21th century ...  ::).  I still think a regular phone beats this new one at being a phone, but these smartphones do have some nice extra's  ;).

Last week me and my family enjoyed a week vacation, during this week we went hiking a couple of times, once in the Ardennes, and a couple of times close to home, so now it's time to post the first pics  ;).

These first ones were taken on friday the 10th, the very first day of our vacation, at one of the places near my home (only 5 minutes by car) where we regularly go for a walk.  These pics were taken at the same time/place as the ones i took with my smartphone showing my Suunto Core and OHT which I posted a couple of days ago.

Here we go  ;).

And these next ones were taken on another hike close to my home town (about 25 minutes by car).  That day I carried my Surge BO and as always, my trusty Swisschamp.

And here are the pics from our trip to the Ardennes, we hiked around the Castle Reinhardstein (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinhardstein_Castle), near the town of Ovifat in the east of Belgium.  It was a beautiful hike with a lot of climbs and some technical descents.

Once again I had my OHT with me (I really, really like this tool, who would've guessed after my initial  :td: reaction when I saw the first pics of the OHT here).

Great outdoor pic Kirk (as usual  ;)).

That OHT is the one that made me think about buying one myself.  The famous "World Cup giveaway OHT". 
And your topic called "Living with an OHT" (http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,53640.0.html) didn't help either ...  :twak:

But instead of blaming you I should be thanking you (this time  ;)), because it's thanks to you that I now own this great tool, thanks mate  :salute:.

Put some new tyres on my mountainbike this afternoon, used my OHT to get the tyres out of their package, and to repair my old pump (which is about ready to be replaced ...).

Here are the pics (pics taken with my smartphone):

Tour de France past my parents' home today (about 5km from my home), so I took out our mountainbikes and me and my boys went over there to watch the show in real life  8).

I'm guessing the route of the Tour de France counts as a public place  ;).

About time I posted some new pics here ...

Last weekend me and my family went for a hike (me and my wife hiked, my boys took their mountainbikes with them and went up and down the "hills" while we "climbed" them on foot  ;)).

Anyway, as always I brought some tools with me, this time I picked my BO Surge, and my Swisschamp.  At first when I got my Surge, I thought it was way too heavy, and couldn't compete with my ST300 since I don't like the bitdriver nearly as much as I like the old style drivers on the ST300.  But lately the Surge has started to grow on me  :D.

So, here are some pics I took during my hike last weekend, enjoy  :salute:.

It's about time I posted something new myself, so here we go, some pics of my latest multitool, a Stainless Leatherman Surge ...

And some pics from my new Leatherman watch ...

Maybe not as accurate as the one that comes with the Leatherman Tread, but with a better tool loadout  :D.

Looks like you guys on the other side of the channel also got some nice weather today, the last couple of days here were great, I even got on my mountainbike again (I've gone riding three days out of four, and I'm starting to feel why I liked it so much in the past again :D).

Thanks for sharing your pic mate :salute:.

About time that I posted some pics here myself  ;).

Here are some pics I took during a hike near the town of Wéris (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%C3%A9ris), a small Belgian town in the provence Luxemburg.  You can see all my pics of that day here (http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,67663.0.html).

Awesome pic mate  :drool:

I love the Alps, been to Austria in 2014, Switzerland in 2015, but no real mountains this year since my wife gave birth to our 3th child in April, and our little girl is a bit too young to go and hike in the mountains this summer  :-\.   Maybe next year ...  :dd:

The Italian Alps are next on my "go to" list (or maybe Austria again  :think:).

Went to the Ardennes yesterday for a short hike and to have a nice picnic next to one of the small rivers there, named "La Hoëgne".

The Hoëgne is a left tributary of the Vesdre. Its source is in the High Fens of eastern Belgium, near the Signal de Botrange. The Hoëgne flows through the town of Theux, and ends in the river Vesdre in the town of Pepinster.  We had a picnic, our boys build a dam, and played with some ¨Playmobil Kajaks (yellow ones, not pink ...) in the water.  We all had a great time, in the middle of nowhere, all by ourselves, exactly the way I like it  ;).

And the Mora Garberg came along  :D.

Very nice SAK-tree, those are very rare these days ...  :o

I found one of them a couple of years ago in the Belgian High Fens (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Fens) region.  But the one I found was apparently a younger tree than yours, since mine was growing a Vic Délemont Rangergrip, and the fruit on yours seems to be quite a bit older  ;).

Just found this thread, a few years old yet as relevant today as it was when started.
Took this picture with my ST300 at rest area along I-94 at a rest stop in Michigan.  Hope you can read the inscription.

Well, one doesn't want to blow one's own trumpet, but this topic was there before all the "pics of your SAKs outside" and "pics of your Leatherman outside" topics (check the dates ...  :pok:). 

So I consider myself a bit of a trendsetter  8)  (be it one who's not very good at picking a title for its new topic ...  ::)).

Just noticed how photobucket really crippled this topic ... weird enough, the pics that come from my "back up" photobucket account are still visible, but the ones from my main account are all gone ...  ::)

Maybe it's because my main account is about 63% full, while the back up account is only about 10% "full".

Stupid photobucket with its stupid money grabbing scheme ...   :rant:  :viking:  :bnghd:  :crash: :megaslap: :twak:

Great pics Jerry Drake  :tu:  .

That compass is very cool  :2tu:.  It's great when kids share the same interests as the big kid ... I mean as dad (my wife always says she has 4 kids, three "small ones" and one big kid ...  ::)).

Thanks for sharing such a great father / son moment here mate, feel free to post pics of the scenery as well, there doesn't need to be a SAK (or other tool) on each pic in this topic.

Greetings from Belgium  :salute:.

Just noticed that I had some pics on my smartphone that I forgot to post here ...

Took these last September, during "open monuments day".  The church clocktower in my hometown was open for visitors that day, so I had to go and have a look  ;).

The church was build around 1227 A.D., it was destroyed by a fire and rebuild in the year 1553 A.D. , in 1799 A.D. (during French occupation) the clocks were destroyed, and in 1940 A.D. the Belgian Army dynamited the tower (like they did with all church- and other towers) so the German occupier couldn't use it as surveillance tower.  The tower was rebuild in 1943 A.D. in its current state.  There, that's the history of our church in short.

Pic from the church tower, taken from the road to the old cemetery.

And last but not least, some pics of my latest SAK, my Victorinox S54.  I bought this one because I found a nice deal on it (almost half of the regular price).  And when I received it I liked it so much that I ordered another one the same day (at the same great price). 

This is a very nice SAK to fiddle with, I also own a couple of Wenger Evowoods which were only bought for my collection, and not for EDC.  But this one was my first red scaled (be it the Evogrip) version and I bought the second one so I could use one of them as EDC (as alternative for my regular EDC SAK, my trusty Swisschamp).  And I really like the 85mm size, and the Evolution scales, maybe this was just because it was something new at first, but after two weeks I still like it very much.

:D

When I first saw them online, there were 4 of them left, I bought only one, thinking it was clearly a mistake (since I'd never seen them this cheap).  When the postman rang my doorbel the next day I still expected to get something else (be it another, but thinner SAK, or even a fake).  But when I opened the box I saw it was the real thing, so I went back to the site to order the other 3, only to see there was only one left ...  ::).   And about 30 minutes after I ordered the last one it said 0 in stock (and I was a bit nervous that I was too late, since the mail they send me said they always check the credit card payement first, and this can take up to two hours ...  :ahhh ).

But an hour later I got the e-mail confirming that I got the last one  :woohoo:.

To be honest ... I thought you were the one who bought the other two, since somedays it seems like you and me are the only two Belgian SAK buyers out there (I know there are others, but your name does pop up from time to time on 2dehands.be  ;)).

Anyway, I'm very happy with my two S54's.  Like I said in this topic (https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,75615.msg1624373.html#msg1624373), I once let a Wenger S54 slip through my fingers (in a manner of speaking  ;)) back in 2014 in Liechtenstein, so I'm very happy to have the Vic Delémont version now.

I'm a bit of a cheapskate.
I try to jump on the REALLY good deals and try to get as rare models as possible for the least amount of money possible.
(Horn scaled 84mm Golfer, NIB, long nail file: $25, Mauser: trade value €35, Swissflame: €25, ...)
Which results in not to many purchases...
But getting a rare model dirt cheap does feel even better :D

Care to pm me what the price was?

Some pics I took during a hike last Friday, while shooting pics for the MTO Calendar February topic ... (For now I only entered one of these pics, but I might just enter another one of these also, if you guys like them).


This is the one I entered for the MTO Calendar this month:

These next ones didn't make the cut (yet  :D):

Some pics I took early February for the Calendar topic, but these also didn't make the final cut.

So I guess I'll just "dump" them here, keeping this topic on life support by doing so ...  ::)

Great pic Kirky  :tu:.

And thanks for posting it in "my" humble topic, things have been very quiet here lately ...  I don't really understand why, this topic predates all the other "pics of your SAKs outside" and "pics of your Leatherman outside" topics, but for some reason it's just fading out ...

Oh well, guess I'll just describe this topic as "non-mainstream" or "more exclusive" ...  :P

Greetings from Belgium and thanks again mate  :salute:.

maybe it' because it's hard to define and limit what a "public space" is
 :think:

a library, museum, or cafeteria are of course, but...
an abandoned mountain trail?
a natural landscape off the beaten path?
the hospital, a police station, the innards of the subway, the town hall, an electrical power station, a highway, a dam... ???

I've hesitated to post here often because of that. Most other threads like "SAK outside" or "SAK with coffee/cats/flashlights" are much more specific

just my $0.02, I could be wrong OFC

And also to me public place means urban area, where I don't have that much photos anyway. I'm just not very comfortable to start taking pictures when there's a lot of people wondering around...

But anyway, I think this photo might fit in this thread. It's has some public buildings on the background.  :)

Thanks for the replies, I appreciate the fact that you guys took the time to explain why you were having doubts about posting here, thanks guys  :salute:.

Intentionally, I started this topic for pics in public places, so anything besides your own livingroom or garden was okay, and as always here on MTO, there are no real "rules", if you post a pic of a SAK on your dining table, I'm not going to give you a  :twak: (if you check this topic, you'll see that it didn't take long before I started posting pics of my tools in my own garden, since it's not always easy to get some good pics elsewhere).

And about those "public places"... anything goes.  The town-square, a bench in a park in the middle of the city, SAK stuck in a log on some remote hiking trail, or a pic during lunchbreak at work, ... wherever you are, everything is okay.  Me, I tend to search for remote places (remote being very relative in this tiny country  ::)) when I'm going for a hike/walk.   Since I love the peace and quietness of a good long nature hike, and some of the best outdoor experiences are the ones where there's no one else around in my opinion (I'm not very keen on crowds).

So go ahead, post any pic you like  :pok: (as long as you're not naked  :dwts:).

Edit: Just noticed that you're from Finland, the home country of my favorite F1 drivers (Kimi and Mika), I've not been to Finland myself (not yet  ;)), but from what I've seen in pics, it's one of the most beautiful countries in the world, and I would love to see more (nature) pics of it here  :pok:.

Well, I think that every country in the world has it's own unique nature and landscapes, which usually takes someone from a different part of the world to truly appreciate.

If older pics are ok, this is from last september:

I haven't been very active here these last months, but I'm very happy to see that you guys keep this topic running  :salute:.

And I must say, you guys really did your best, lots of beautiful pics were posted here  :drool:.


P.S.: Anybody know what happened to Sneider, all of his pics seem to be gone (and they were all stunning), and he hasn't logged in since half of June if I'm not mistaken.  Probably just real life getting in the way (something I know only too well), but just wanted to check if anybody heared from him.

As promised (be it a bit late ...  :-[), here are some pics from my trip to Austria  8).


My trusty Swisstool on the "Gafierjoch", right on the Austrian/Swiss border (I mean right on the border, about 5 meters away from that sign-post is an old 1951 border stone, as you can see in the second pic).
(https://i.imgur.com/XEcXeVy.jpg)


So this pic was actually taken while I was in Switzerland ...  :P
(https://i.imgur.com/OsmqFMq.jpg)


And here's one from the other side of the mountain, between the Gafierjoch and the Antönierjoch, looking out on the town of Gargellen in Austria.
(https://i.imgur.com/f8bERnc.jpg)


I might have some other pics, but at first sight, these were the best of the whole bunch  ;).

There's always one of those isn't there ...  ::)

Take a minute and read the opening post in this topic (it dates back from a time that you still had your mental health, a time when you weren't obsessed by small shiny red things, and you had not yet found this place we all know as MTO ...h*ll, for all I know you were just about to hit puberty around that time  :whistle:).

Maybe take more than a minute and browse the entire topic, some nice pics will be your reward  ;).

P.S.: If I remember correctly this is the first topic in the "pics of your ..." series, just check the starting dates ...  :pok:

A lot has been said about this tool, both good and bad, but it does look nice on photo (in my opinion at least).

Here are some pics I took during my vacation in Germany, last April.  These are pics of my Casio Mudmaster GWG-1000-1A3ER, but since it's an ABC watch I consider it to be a bit of a multitool aswell, so I thought it would be ok to post them here.

Pics were taken at Burg Eltz (https://burg-eltz.de/en/) in Germany.  A beautiful old castle.

And this last one was taken during the beautiful hike to the castle:

Thanks. Haven't put it on a belt yet. I suspect it might sit a bit higher than I like. But the tool sits snugly enough, due to some elastic webbing in the side walls, and the snap works well.

First pics for 2020  :).

Went on a short hike (first one in months) and took this big boy with me...

My first Buck  :D.

Had my eyes on this one for a long time, but at 50 Euro I decided I'd rather save my money for a Buck Ranger 112.  But then it was at - 30% discount at the local store and they only had one left.  But still... A bit too much.

Then it went to - 50%, but I really wanted that Ranger.  And when I returned to the store two weeks later it was gone...

Until my wife gave me a surprise gift on Christmas...  :dd:

Had a great day in the woods with my junior today.
On the fire we made swiss cervelat sausages, stick bread and onions.
Out in nature, the simplest things are sooo delicious!
Afterwards there was a beginner lesson carving.

And you're right, out in nature every meal feels like a feast, but what you guys are prepairing there looks like a feast no matter where you eat it  :drool:.
Last summer me and my family went to the Belgian Ardenne forest a couple of times for a hike, and on two of those hikes we also had a "warm" picnic, one time we heated up Macaroni bacon and cheese that my wife prepaired the day before, and the other time we just had some scrambled eggs (so simple but man, sooo good when you're outside).  Good times I say  :dd:.

Some pics from last summer, during a hike to "Le Cheslé de Bérisménil" (https://www.luxembourg-belge.be/diffusio/nl/doen-zien/bezoeken/casteel-monument/berismenil/keltische-vesting-le-chesle-cultureel-erfgoed-van-wallonie_TFO12665.php), around 800 B.C. there was a Celtic "fort" here, and after archeological research in the 60's they reconstructed parts of this fort in the 80's.

It's a beautiful hike to this site, on which you descend to the river Ourthe and follow it to "Le Cheslé".

I'm just trying to kick-start "my" old topic again, it's been quiet here for way too long...

For personal reasons I haven't been able to go outside much (let alone take tool pics) the past 5 months or so, went through a rough period at work, which lead to me not being quite myself at home either...

Anyway, just took a radical decision 2 weeks ago (job related), and we'll see what the future will bring us.

True, very true...

I've made a similar decision 15 years ago, but never thought back then that I would be "forced" to do the same 15 years later...

Oh well, the situation got to a point that it was making my life miserable at home as well, than it's time to act.  And I prefer to keep the honor to myself...

Still have to go back to pick up my papers and my stuff, and to give somebody a final piece of my mind.

Thank you for the kind words my friend  :hatsoff:.

Today we walked on a hill near my city. There are remnants of a castle over 800 years old. The tower threatened to collapse, so the walls were stabilized, a staircase and a wooden roof were built. Now you can climb up and have a beautiful view from above.

Trying to make the best out of a bad situation with the whole lockdown thing.

In the past I used to take a lot of pics of my Multitools/SAKs and post them here.  Due to various reasons this hasn't been the case these past two years or so.

So, maybe I should use the extra free time to take some pics of tools that I acquired these last two years that nobody knows about.

Let's start with the first one, a tool that has been on my wish list for years.  And only through sheer luck I stumbled on this NIB beauty.

A NIB Leatherman Blast, the missing link in the evolution of the Supertool line, this one fits right between the ST200 and the ST300 in my collection.

One happy TG-24 here  :D.

Another quarantine photoshoot.

Short story about why I got this next one. 

I bought my Free P4 the first day the P4 was available over here, months later the Belgian Leatherman Distributor lowered the price on the P4 from 199.98€ to 189.98€. 

The people who'd already  bought their P4 at release got a 20€ discount on their next purchase (only when they bought something worth 35€ or more).

Since there wasn't anything I really wanted/needed, I went for the cheapest option to get my 20€ discount, which was the "new" Style CS in Coyote (costing around 39€ it was this or a set of Leatherman bits, which are crazy expensive over here).

Anyway, this is how I got this beauty (I really like this Coyote version).

Got this next one as a Christmas gift from the wife and kids. 

I've always wanted a Helle knife and this one was on top of the list because it's small and cute, very non-threatening, but quite capable and full-tang.

The Helle Mândra by Les Stroud (his multitool might s*ck, but the man knows how to design a good knife).

It's a great little knife, I think you guys would be surprised by how small it actually is (I should've placed a SAK next to it in one shot for comparison).

Let's just say that the handle has room for 3 fingers, but still, the shape of the blade makes it very comfortable and very natural to use, even with quite a bit of force.

My Helle Mândra vs a Vic Explorer and a Leatherman Crunch (for some reason I assumed that at least one of you guys would own a Crunch as well, don't know where I got that idea...  :think:).

Beautiful weather for a photoshoot, too bad we're a bit limited in options on where to host this photoshoot these days...

Anyway, hope these pics were useful, as you can see, the length of the knife blade on the Mândra is almost exactly the same as the blade length on a 91mm SAK.  But thanks to the handle/blade shape and the awesome finger choil on the Mândra it offers a lot of stability during use, to me it feels as if the Mândra was custom made to fit my hand.

Glad you guys liked it  :salute:.

So, another quarantine day, another photoshoot.

Stumbled upon this next knife by accident, started doing some research on it (google/youtube).  And with every review I read/saw, I wanted it more and more.

So I ordered one and it was love at first sight...

Here it is, the Casström Woodsman Bog Oak version.

It's a full tang knife that's made out of Böhler k720 steel, and the very comfortable handle is made out of Bog Oak (which is 4000 - 5000 year old English oak).  And the leather sheath is great quality as well.

Here are the pics:

The Curly Birch is also a real beauty indeed, but the first Bog Oak is going to be my user knife, since the Bog Oak handle offers better grip than the Curly Birch, which is a bit slippy (even in dry conditions, so I guess it will be worse in wet conditions).

And the sheaths are all great, high quality and beautifully made.  And I bought a dangler for them, so I can put the dangler on my belt at home, and clip on the Woodsman when I start my hike.

I'm happy you like the pics, and as the matter of fact, my pics have been used without my permission two times (as far as I know).

The first time I contacted them and they handled it very correctly, they apologized for using the pics without permission and offered me a free (not THE FREE, that one didn't exist at the time) Leatherman of my choice, and I went for the BO Rebar.

So they handled it like true gentlemen, and I still buy most of my stuff there, great shop.

The other I didn't even contact, I didn't speak the language they spoke, and I think they would've just ignored me...

To all my loyal fans:

I'm going to post some new stuff here, and I'm only going to post it in this topic (maybe later I'll post it in other topics, but for now, it's exclusive for this topic).

Consider it a thank you to the people who still visit this topic, my own little project, started years and years ago, as one of the first (or maybe even the very first) topic dedicated to posting outdoor pics of your multitools/SAKs.

So, after holding back for months, quarantine boredom got the better of me and I went onto the net to do some shopping, here's what arrived today.

First of, a Brisa Bobtail 80 Curly Birch, it was at a discount and I just couldn't resist.

And here's a special one (at least for me), when I first saw this one I did some research on this type of knife and its origin, and it made me want one even more...

So, here it is, my Brisa Nessmuk 125 Curly Birch:

And I also got this next one.

Since I'm collecting the Pioneer of the yearly "Limited Edition" Victorinox set, I just bought version 2020.

Oh nice nessmuk.   :tu:   :like:

Thanks mate  :salute:.

I only found out about this type of knife a little while ago, did some research to know from where the design came (and found out there's a Nessmuk challenge planned here).

And knowing a bit about the historical background of the Nessmuk. I really wanted to own one myself, and the Brisa (former Enzo) version looked nice and offered great value for money in my opinion.

So here it is, and not only does it look nice, it feels great in hand as well.  I can see why one would pick this type of knife as a companion for hunting/bushcrafting.

Let me start with welcome to the ANLC club.  Paperwork is in the mail as well as the song sheet.  Someone should be by soon to teach you the handshake once we are out of quarantine.

You've got some terrific new items.  Those fixed blades are wonderful.  I really cannot say which is more  :drool:.  Everything about the Brisa Nessmuk 125 Curly Birch is gorgeous.  The Nessmuk is a a wonderful design thats endured   for good reason.  Yours looks to be very well done.  Love the liners and choice of handle materials.

Your Brisa Bobtail 80 and its sheath are also pretty great looking.  Love that sheath style.  This knife looks like it wants to eat wood now.  What a great size.  I like the choice of steel on this one.  It'll be a performer without all the fussing about care.  Love the polish on the blade and that sheath.  Is it light enough to be a neck knife? 

Liking the color of the 2020 Alox. 

Great pictures as always.   :salute:

Thanks guys  :salute:.

@Aloha: The Bobtail knife itself is light enough to be used as a neck knife. But the sheath is quite big, not saying that it can't be used as a neck knife, but for me it's at the limit of what I would wear as neck knife.

If you could get a small kydex sheath for it, it would be perfect (Enzo had kydex sheaths for the Bobtail's predecessor, the Necker, maybe they have a kydex sheath for this one as well)

Don't get me wrong, the sheath is awesome, it supports both vertical and horizontal carry, and if you want to use it as neck knife, you could use the eyelet in the bottom, or the belt carry loop.

When quarantine is over I will definitely try it as a neck knife with this sheath and I'll let you know how it went.

Maybe I'm a bit spoiled with my current Mora Eldris, which is awesome as a neck knife.

Oh, and I think the Nessmuk design is awesome.

I'd been thinking about getting myself a knife with some history behind it, and in the end I had three favorites to choose from, the Brisa Nessmuk, the Becker BK62 Kephart and the Helle Viking.

The Helle looks great but I wanted a full tang knife, and the leather sheath, while beautiful, did not seem very practical.

It was hard to choose between the other two, but in the end it was the special look of the Nessmuk, along with the fact that it costs less than half of what the Kephart costs around here (189,95 Euro for the Kephart vs 90 Euro for the Nessmuk).

I'll probably get myself a BK62 Kephart at one point, but not in the near future (and not at that price).

I picked up a Helle Viking and you are right about the sheath.  Its functional in that it protects the knife but not really my cuppa tea. 

You did well with your knife choices.  I love that horizontal carry option on the Bobtail.  I was not one who liked to carry knives like that until I actually gave it a go.  I like to carry small fixed blades in this way.  I like to have it at about the 2 o clock position with the handle towards my center as I'm a lefty.  This works great with little blades that see most of the use. 

Mora Eldris.  Great little knife.  I bought one for my partner and she loves it.

Good to hear I was right about the Viking sheath, still, cool looking knife and sheath (too bad that the sheath isn't very practical).

And the Eldris, well, I bought a couple of them for my boys, and got 2 for myself since it's such a cute looking knife, but I was surprised by how good it is. Yes, it's very short, but it's quite good for carving and whittling, the big Garberg style handle feels great in all positions. 

There's a video on YouTube from someone who removes the standard handle (which shows how strong the handle material actually is).

I never expected to see so much metal sticking inside that handle.  The metal comes close to the lanyard hole in the handle, it's longer than the length of the blade.

Click here (https://youtu.be/qXryAYlGLDE) for the video.

Misses TG-24, our little girl Caitlin and yours truly went on a short hike near our home today,  since we're not allowed to stop during our hike (not even for resting on a bench), I had to get creative to find an excuse to take pics.

So I would walk a bit faster than the two ladies who were with me, and when I was far enough ahead I had to wait on them, and while I was waiting...

You guys live in Switzerland, one of the most beautiful places on earth, you get first choice on thousands of old stock and used classic SAKs, you live next to a forest, you are allowed to have a picknick and an open fire in that forest and BBQ your sausages on it...  :sa:

Over here, open fires are a no go, even in your own back yard, let alone in a forest, and at the moment, we aren't even allowed to stop for a rest during our hike...

So just keep the amount of smoke as low as possible :angel:

Well, I have... And more than once  ::)

Back in the "old" days (10 tot 15 years ago) I went metaldetecting with a friend of mine about once a month.  And we've had cops showing up a couple of times, even while we were deep in the fields here in de Provences of Antwerpen and Vlaams-Brabant.

These days I don't go metal detecting anymore since you have to own a permit and the cops show op half of the time.

So, instead my friend and I go to the Ardennes like 2 times a year, armed with my trusty Nikon to visit unknown battle sites from WW2.  And about 70% of the time we get a visit from the law, sometimes cops, sometimes a Forest Ranger.  And it's not like we're on the edge of the forest, no, even when we're on a very remote and unknown (to the public) site, out of nowhere... a Forest Ranger.

If you have a metaldetector with you on that moment, they will take it away from you and you'll get a fine.

Maybe we've been unlucky, but I'm not going to risk making an open fire that creates a smoke signal.

When I was a kid (back in the '80s), we used to burn our paper and cardboard trash every Friday evening in an old (and cleaned out) oil drum in the back yard, taking a potato, wrapping it in aluminiumfolie, sticking it on a knitting needle and place it over the fire... Best food ever (if mother would've served potatoes like that for lunch, we probably wouldn't have eaten them, but outside, in the dark, over an open flame... Best food ever...

TG, I don't know how I managed to miss this thread, but love all these tool porn you are posting!  I am especially a fan for Brisa knives, I think the prices might have gone up in recent years, but they really offer nice selection of true Scandi full tang knives without breaking the bank too badly.

I am particularly interested in the Brisa Nessmuk, the size/shape/steel looks pretty functional and it is an interesting twist on the Nessmuk design.  Do the knife come with this patina?  And so how do you like it's performance?
Title: Re: SAKs in public places (or other multitools)
Post by: Top-Gear-24 on April 13, 2020, 06:26:33 PM
Hey Comis, welcome to my own little corner here, well, as a manner of speaking.

Prizes on Brisa/Enzo knives have gone up, but they still offer a lot of bang for your buck in my opinion.

I paid 90 Euro for the Nessmuk and I think it is well worth it.  I can only comment on a bit of very light use at home (quarantine  ::)), but first impressions look very promising.

And yes, it came with this patina, the light spots are actually quite bluish in real life.  I've seen them online going from almost all black to very "rust" brown.

I've been thinking about removing the parts of thick black patina on mine (near the tip of the knife) and polish it up a bit, so it can get a patina from my personal use but since real use isn't going to happen soon I'm going to leave it as it is for now.

Condor also has a nice Nessmuk knife, but in my opinion the Brisa seems to be the best choice between the two (never saw the Condor Nessmuk in real life, so it's all a bit hypothetical).

Beautiful pics as always Sneider  :drool:.

One of those places that would be on my "to see list" if I was on vacation in the region.  I love an old castle, donjon, stronghold... And they are always one of my priorities when I'm planning my vacation.

Thanks for posting a pic of the information sign, when I post pics from an interesting location like that, I always try to put some pics of such information signs along as well, I always assumed that, if I like to read them, others might as well.

P.S.: Does that alox... I mean tractor also come in other colours, or maybe a yearly Limited Edition? 🤔

Thank you, TG24 I'm happy if you like it.
There we have something in common. I am fascinated by old places, donjon, stronghold and castles since I am a child. What fascinates me the most is simple knight's castles on rocky, hard-to-reach locations from the time 1000 - 1300 after Christ.There were thousands in the Alpine region, unfortunately little is known about it, since almost nothing has been preserved from this period apart from walls.

Information boards are always a good thing for those interested. Or at least give the name of the place, Wikipedia usually knows something.
If I visit such places in the future I will report about it here in your great thread.

No idea if the tractor is available in other colors but an Alox edition of it would be nice  ;) :D

Our visit there wasn't planned, so I didn't know about the Sherlock Holmes history there, and I didn't know about that beautiful Restitower in your pic either...

You were in Meiringen? That's cool. The Aareschlucht is great. There are a lot of sights there, the problem is usually that you don't have enough time. A couple of our friends live in Meiringen. I also know the owner of the Knifeshop who also sells toys and household goods. The region between Grimsel, Thun and Grindelwald is one of my favorite places. At the back of the valley, in the Grimsel area I go looking for crystals in summer, can't wait ...

The restiturm of one of the best documented residential towers of this kind. The page is unfortunately only in German and French.

Yep, TG-24 was there  :D.

And yes, they sold toys and household goods at the store where I found that awesome Wenger/Vic stuff. 

My father came into the store to see what was taking so long, right when I was about to buy 5 SAKs, so we quickly asked the lady at the counter to pretend as if I was only buying one of them, and keep the other 4 on the side until my father went out of the store again. 

You see, my father had heartsurgery once already, and for him to see me buy 5 SAKs at once... Well, let's just say we didn't want to take any chances.

When he sees me buying a SAK while we're on vacation together, he always says: "why are you buying another one, when you already have one?"

Yeah right... one...  :whistle:

Needles to say that I never told him we got an extra discount (on top of the -10%) at the factory store in Ibach because I spend over 500 Euro there (and that was at the store in the Vic factory alone).

I told the wife and kids that grandpa could never find out what I spend on SAKs during our 7 days in Switzerland  ;).

Love the Brisa Nessmuk, and Curly Birch handles are just as addictive as Alox SAKs in my opinion.

Yep, TG-24 was there  :D.

And yes, they sold toys and household goods at the store where I found that awesome Wenger/Vic stuff. 

My father came into the store to see what was taking so long, right when I was about to buy 5 SAKs, so we quickly asked the lady at the counter to pretend as if I was only buying one of them, and keep the other 4 on the side until my father went out of the store again. 

You see, my father had heartsurgery once already, and for him to see me buy 5 SAKs at once... Well, let's just say we didn't want to take any chances.

When he sees me buying a SAK while we're on vacation together, he always says: "why are you buying another one, when you already have one?"

Yeah right... one...  :whistle:

Needles to say that I never told him we got an extra discount (on top of the -10%) at the factory store in Ibach because I spend over 500 Euro there (and that was at the store in the Vic factory alone).

Haha, great. Was the saleswoman a young, tough woman with short hair?

If so, that is Ms. Abplanalp, the owner. I see the amusement in their face because of the little deception about your father ...

I once had a 20% voucher for the factory shop in Ibach and when I was there they had some first mate with the long awl and various small Alox advertising knives that I collect. I better not say how much money I left there.  :facepalm:

No worries my friend.

The way I see it, if two people really want to have a conversation, they don't even need a common language, if both are willing to take the time and to make an effort, they will figure it out.  Speaking slowly, trying the same word in different languages, even using gestures and drawings, all these things are possible.

I live in a small country with three languages (something Swiss people can relate to I guess), and while our politicians always use this as a way to try and divide people, reality teaches us that were all very much alike, and 90% of the people don't mind putting in a little effort to make a conversation work.

Oh, and thanks for liking my Casström Lock Back, I'm really excited about it myself as well  :like:.

With the Covid-19 situation we already decided in April not to go on vacation this summer, so I spend our "vacation budget" on reviving an old hobby...

I finally had my old Squier Stratocaster checked and fixed, got a new amp (Boss Katana 50Mk II), and bought myself a Martin D-X2E Sunburst.

Here's a pic of my gear:

(https://i.imgur.com/HpJz9u0.jpg)

And since I've been enjoying my new Martin that much, I got myself a Martin LX1 as well (a travel guitar that I can take with me when we go hiking or camping this summer).

Here are some pics of my Little Martin:

In my defence, it isn't new... well it is NIB, but it was made 10 years ago... And the words "no longer in production" don't help either...

After a terrible Friday that ended with my wife driving me to the ER, I spend most of my Saterday recovering from the heavy painkillers they gave me.

And it was only in the early evening on Saterday that I found the energy to go out for a very short hike (only 1 km or so), but enough to clear my head a bit and get some very needed fresh air.

I did bring some tools with me hoping I could take some pics.  All these pics are taken on the same location (where I was able to sit down while taking them), so my apologies if they all look the same.

Well, here they are...

First my Free P4 and T4:

Just one of my Skeletools in the garden...

I remember when I got my first Skeletool, it was the cx version, I bought it before they were released over here from a guy who just returned from a trip to the U.S., he bought 3 of them, all in a nice gift box (with a sticker reading something like "only intended for sale in the U.S.A.").

Got it at an awesome price and I was immediately impressed by it, and have been ever since.

Only thing is that they are way too expensive over here at retail price, but I've got all of mine at a -50% discount over the years, just had to be patient (and lucky 😉).

No travelling this year thanks to Covid-19, so we stayed in our own tiny country, which doesn't mean that we can't have a fun time or see some beautiful scenery.

So I'll be posting some multitool pics of these last two weeks here.

Went hiking today on a hill named "Wijngaardberg" which would roughly translate into "vineyard mountain" I guess.

It's close to home (only a 25 minutes drive), and it's not really a mountain, more a small hill, but anyway...

It does have a nice southflank that has a bit of a microclimate which makes it ideal for vineyards, and there have been vineyards there since the year 1200, around 1800 they even constructed a stone wall on top of the mountain ridge to protect the vineyards from the cold northern winds.

Enough history lesson, we had a great day, beautiful hike, and on the southflank of this hill, it actually felt as if we were walking through the famous vineyards next to the Mosel River in Germany.

Here are some pics.

This reminded me of France's Laguiole knives, where the inlays form a crucifix that you notice when the knife is tip down... Usually inserted in a loaf of bread... For the before-meal prayer.

Wow, look at that scenery... :drool:

Last year we didn't go on vacation because I was having problems at work, and our financial situation was unstable... Thinking we could go back to Austria or even Switzerland summer 2020...

Along came Covid-19 ::).

We miss the mountains, especially me and Misses TG-24, and our 4 year old daughter.  The boys (15 and almost 14) don't really care, as long as they have a playstation and an internet connection, it's all good for them ::).

Those 111mm Vics are a breed apart, I only have a couple of 111mm Soldiers, a Huntsman XT, and a Hercules, and even though I really like the feel of them, I don't carry them very often...

Just happened to have the Hercules lying next to me on the couch, while watching a movie (along with about 9 other SAKs, tools and knives... Yes, I'm a freak... :-[).

Anyway, thanks for posting those beautiful pics here, I'm happy at least someone is still posting pics here...  :salute:

The blade in the ground was actually a super thick layer of moss.
The entire blade never touched the actual sand underneath :D

The handrail? Meh

Sadly, the vacation, hikes and thinner air took a high price.

Mrs Mechy's lungs decided to give up altogether. She's back to a state where she can barely walk the stairs and is obviously unable to return to work.

A few phone calls had me get her into a lung speSmurfpillsts practice within a week, so let's hope it turns for the better soon.

The blade in the ground was actually a super thick layer of moss.
The entire blade never touched the actual sand underneath :D

The handrail? Meh

Sadly, the vacation, hikes and thinner air took a high price.

Mrs Mechy's lungs decided to give up altogether. She's back to a state where she can barely walk the stairs and is obviously unable to return to work.

A few phone calls had me get her into a lung speSmurfpillsts practice within a week, so let's hope it turns for the better soon.

Wow... I'm so sorry to hear that mate...

Not worse than the regular flu right?  It bugs the h*ll out of me when I hear people say stuff like that, only so they can have their own life back to normal again.

Because let's face it, not being able to go out and drink yourself into oblivion with all of your so called friend is worse than the virus itself...

 :rant:

I hope Misses Mechy gets back to her "old" self, but I do fear it might take some time.  Let's hope that our society is willing to give her that time.

I mean, being home from work over a longer period can be a real hassle when it comes to check-up doctors (of hoe vertaal je controle arts?) and paperwork and stuff...

Anyway, we hope she will fully recover eventually, and we're sending our best to you both, (you know we don't really send prayers over here, but you and the Misses are in our thoughts).

If there's anything we can do to help, or if you ever need someone to talk to, you know where to find me, right  :pok:.

P.S.: I was just messing with you over that blade in the ground thing, I figured it was something like that, since I don't see you, or any other knife nut for that matter, sticking a blade in the dirt/gravel like that  ;).

Thanks mate.
Most people, including her coworkers fully understand and tell her she's been strong by going back to work for so long.

Sadly, some people snap at her and tell her to nut up and start working out.
Also, keeping distance isn't needed because "there's no way we're infected".

I try backing her up and tell those people she won't survive a second infection, which isn't even exaggerated...

Very sad and stressful, and obviously not helpful :shrug:

All the best for Ms Mechy, it's a good thing you were able to get an appointment see a speSmurfpillst.

It drives me bonkers when people compare this to the flu because it's the only other virus they can think of.  We've been calling this SARS CoV2 because it's like SARS ... Not because we like capital letters  :rant:

Nice weather, beautiful scenery and no one else around, life can be good...

Yep, for a normal person...

But for a multitool/SAK freak enthusiast it's not that easy... I always take a couple of different tools with me in my camera bag (the Signal and a Swisschamp were on my belt), just in case there's an opportunity to take some tool pics with some nice scenery in the background.

Went on a short hike today with Misses TG-24 and our little girl (it's getting harder and harder to drag our two teenage boys away from their Playstations these days...  ::)).

Luckily our little girl loves hiking, and often suggests to go on a hike before me or the misses even talk about it.

And today was the first time in years I only took one tool on my belt (a Wave + this time) and one SAK in my pocket (my Vic Evo28) with me.

I normally take a variety of tools with me in my camera bag, only to take pics from them to post here, but those days are over, and from now on I'm only going to carry the tools I might need underway, and take some pics from them.  But my hikes will no longer be more photoshoot than hike...

So, here are some pics I took today, showing one of my favorite SAKs, the Victorinox Evo28.

This hike was also the first time I carried my new wrissmurfch.

A little warning first, those of you that don't want to read a loooooong incoherent rambling in flawed English, click away now...












So, you decided to stick around and give it a go... a brave but foolish decision  ::). 

So, here we go...

I'd been on the lookout for a fieldwatch for a long time, in the past I bought a Seiko 5 Aviator, which is a cool "fieldwatch style" automatic.  But it's just too small on my wrist, I'm 193cm tall and used to wearing huge G-shocks like the GWG-1000 MudMaster, and the Seiko 5 just looked way too small on my wrist.

So the search continued... Took a long look at some of the Luminox, Citizen, Seiko Sport watches,

But pretty soon I came to the conclusion that years of solar powered Casio's had spoiled me, and I really disliked the idea of having to change batteries every two years or so, and same goes for all the little gizmos the Casio ABC watches offer (I love the combination of solar power and ABC functions, since you don't have to worry about battery life everytime you use one of the functions).   And although I really like the new Seiko Sport series, I just know I would miss the ABC functions every time I go out.

An analog Casio Pro-Trek had been on my wishlist for a long time as well, but at an average of around 400 Euro, they are a bit too pricey for my budget, and most of them are too flashy to even be considered a "fieldwatch" option anyway.

So, my search for a fieldwatch (or fieldwatch lookalike) was going nowhere...

Until I came across the Pro-Trek PRW-50Y-1AER, it has all the ABC functions (I know, a field watch should be simple, but like I said, I love the gizmos) , it's solar powered, it's multiband6 (so it synchronizes time each night), and it has quite a fieldwatch look, thanks to the fully numbered dial, the lumen, and the plain and simple (even a bit boring for Casio standards) look. 

But again, retail price was too steep for my budget, that is until I found a webshop that had the PRW-50Y-1AER on sale, at -57% discount, making it the cheapest full ABC Pro-Trek I've ever seen.

Knowing I was not going to find a better deal anytime soon, I went for it and a couple of days later, my new Pro-Trek arrived at my door.

So, here are the pics I took during our hike yesterday (later I will also post the indoor pics I took last week, including a lumen pic).

Great to hear that your daughter even gets her friends to start hiking  :tu:.

Our boys used to like hiking, but right now they are at that age that all of their friends sit behind their gaming consoles in their room, too young to go out and party, too old to play with toys...

And Covid-19 made things worse, since they were forced to meet through social media, or in their case, online gaming.

Oh well..., just as all other phases, this one will pass as well.

For now Misses TG-24 and myself try to enjoy every second our little girl wants to go out into nature, and we hope our boys will join us again sometime in the future.

Greetings from Belgium  :cheers:.

Working morning shift this week, so got home from work, jumped in and out of the shower to go and pick up my little girl from school, and we went straight to a small forest nearby for a short hike, since the weather was so nice.

One of my Mudmasters was on my wrist, God I love this watch...

Maybe I'll post some more pics of this hike tomorrow, but for now, this will have to do...  ;)

As promised, some extra pics from our short trip to the woods yesterday.

Nothing quite as fancy as the pics from my two friends above, just my Wenger Pathfinder (4th generation) at the local river "Nete", which runs next to the small forest where we had our little hike.

Those "old style" Wengers are just awesome, and that 85mm size feels great in pocket

Oooooh, very nice  :drool:.

I need to get myself some yellow knives or SAKs (I only have two, and that's Picachu which I won here and a Swiss Alpine Club Wenger Ranger).

I also like the looks of the yellow Vic Delémont Evo-Grip scales, but the Delémont series is a bit overpriced in my opinion.

And I can't seem to find those Evo-scales anywhere either.

Great pic my friend  :tu:.

Thanks for sharing it here  :salute:.

Edit: I own 3 yellow tools/knives, I forgot my Vic Rescue Tool.

Edit b: I own 5 yellow tools/knives, I forgot my 2 Leatherman Juice KF4's.

Well, actually, my oldest son found them (he's quite the Kimi fan, who knows where he got that from...).

 :whistle:

Anyway, we bought them here (https://www.alfaromeoracingstore.com/details-f1-ALFA_ROMEO_FACE_MASK-id-ARR_FACFM999.htm).  At 12 Euro the price/quality is good, and they are official team merchandise so...

We went for the fastest tracked shipping (since we also bought two caps, and a Kimi hoody) and everything got delivered, very nicely packed, 3 or 4 days after we placed our order.

Thank you for your words. It is always a pleasure for me in your thread.  :salute:

This OC Solo has been my spare time knife for many years and has already appeared on this thread many times.
I found it in the estate of my grandfather who taught me to see and appreciate the beauty of our nature.

I wish you "smoother times".

Rainy weather and dusk, unfortunately not the best pictures. But what a cute little castle! 
We'll visit that again when the weather is nice and when it is open to visitors!

Beautiful pics, looks like an awesome place to talk a walk  :tu:.

Even though I've only been there once on vacation (not counting our visits to Liechtenstein each time we went on vacation to Austria), we really love Switzerland.

Most beautiful country in the world (and the fact that you can buy some sweet SAKs there is a nice bonus 😉).

We'll have to see how this Covid-19 situation goes, but if we can go on vacation next year I hope we will go to Switzerland again. Where we go depends mostly on the financial situation, enough savings = Switzerland, a bit less savings = Austria (Switzerland is more expensive all things considered , and it gets even more costly with every shop we visit or with each trip to the Victorinox factory  ::)).

Last year we didn't get to go on vacation cause of our income being uncertain (me having serious issues at work), so we thought, "oh well, guess we'll just skip a year..." ,  little did we know what was going to happen in 2020...

We miss the mountains... Especially Misses TG-24, our little girl and me (the boys don't really care about vacation that much, playstation you know  ::)).

Anyway, thank you for sharing those beautiful pics of equally beautiful places (when we visit Switzerland again, sometime in the future, I'll make sure to check this topic to see which places we could add to our schedule  ;)).

Greetings from Belgium, stay safe  :salute:.

P.S.: I already know that I'm going to nominate one of your latest pics for the November Calendar topic  ;).

I know the title of this topic says SAKs (or other multitools), but since this topic is beginning to look more and more like a topic for myself and only a handful of my MTO friends, I guess the title doesn't really matters anymore...

So if you guys want to post pics of your watches, hiking GPS's, walking sticks, backpacks, cars, etc... (or just a scenery shot, I love a beautiful scenery shot) go nuts  :tu:.

I know I've posted numerous pics of other stuff already here (mostly watches), and I'm guessing that, at this point, this topic has gotten so "exclusive" that it doesn't really matter anymore  ;).

So, here's a pic of my latest Pro Trek watch, taken today during a short hike with the Misses and our little girl.

Nothing fancy, only a few kilometers from my home, next to the local river. Due to the current Covid-19 lockdown over here it seems as if everybody who goes shopping or spends his time in a restaurant or bar otherwise now, all the sudden, needs to re-connect with nature again.

Turning the places where I usually go to relax and get away from other people into overcrowded, noisy infection hot-spots...

So the only places left for me to go are the most boring ones (with almost no possibility to take some nice SAK pics) and sadly enough, even there you can feel that it's getting busier day by day...

If this trend continues I'll be forced to stay inside my home pretty soon.  Only going outside to go to work... Or hope for sh*tty weather  ::).

Anyway... Here's the pic:

Not much difference on Antwerp's parking lot...

Antwerp's parking lot...

The way I see it, you guys are the poshy suburbs while the more you move in the direction of Antwerp city, the more it turns into a ghetto...

Anyway, it's getting real depressing, the type of folk you see in the woods these days 🙄.

Hey, we're used to strolling along our busy shopping streets, let's do the same with those 2 square kilometers of forest we have here...

Oh mushrooms, let's kick them over, or you know what, let's just trample anything we come across... And let's be as loud and obnoxious as possible while doing so.

And don't forget to spray 2 liter of Chanel N°5 before you go out, because that way we'll fit in nicely in the woods...

Does it show that I'm a bit frustrated?

(didn't anybody teach them not to mess with the guy who has 2 fixed blades and an axe in his backpack :viking:)

I have to admit...
People here stop at mushrooms to look at them, and tell kids to look but don't touch.

I have seen only 1 kicked over mushroom this season so far.

Strange how we're so close, yet different...

We're planning on heading out again tomorrow too.
Obviously short distances since mrs. isn't that good yet. But we were thinking of taking coffee and cake with us for a woodland coffee break :D

Well, it's not as if every mushroom is kicked over, just seems more than usual.

My frustration is mainly because I've lost the places where I go to be "away" from people, to get some fresh air, to blow off some steam...

Anyway, sounds like a great plan to take the Misses for a woodland coffee brake, hope you two can find a calm and relaxing spot to enjoy your coffee and cake  :salute:.

Hello Eric

Sorry for my late reply. Lots of work (luckily) and free time is far too little for family time and my other hobbies. I'm a little anti-social on the Internet, always offline for a few days. But when I look on the web, it always goes to this extraordinary forum.

I am honored that you like my country so much. I am ashamed that I have nothing to say. I've never been to Belgium.

Yes, let's see what comes after Corona. We love to travel around Switzerland, especially around lakes and in the mountains. Domestic travel is unrestricted in Switzerland, but with all the Corona rules it is not so much fun and does not show solidarity. We stay at our place of residence in our free time and go on foot or by bike. That's why I'm currently not posting photos of must-see places here, but simply local spots from my area, which is unfortunately very flat for Swiss standards.

My big exception is work. I work 40 minutes' drive away in the Alpstein region. A mini mountain range in the east of Switzerland. Today, Sunday, I had to work there and took a photo during the break.

Best greetings from Switzerland
Peter

I've just read your last comments, it's a shame to hear that your quiet places in the nature are overrun by urban trolls, that's really very annoying.  :-[

I live in Winterthur, a small town with 130,000 inhabitants surrounded by hills and lots of forest. It has many parks and some locally known excursion destinations on the outskirts that are now too busy when the weather is good. I "lost" my favorite places during the lockdown.  :rant:

But luckily these people stay there and don't spread out further into the forests and hills. And most people seem too weak for the autumn weather. For a few months now there is mostly a layer of fog in the sky, so no sun. In addition, below 10 degrees, a bit of wind and abracadabra - the urban trolls withdraw into their urban caves!  :D

I wish you very much that you get your resting places back! :viking:

Best regards
Peter

Beautiful view you have there my friend  :drool:.

And what you said in your previous post, about the urban trolls going back to their cages when the temperature drops, and rain and fog set in, is so true.

While I really enjoy a nice sunny day in autumn, I don't mind the cold and fog if this means I get the place for myself  ;).

Thanks for posting your beautiful pic here, showed it to my family and they were all jealous 😉.

Eric

Today the sun finally shone again, we had many days of fog at our place of residence. Mrs. Sneider recommended a walk, Sneider Junior and I couldn't say no.
In a short walk we are on a hill with the Mörsburg (I have already shown here) and a beautiful view of the Alps, our house and my place of work 60 kilometers away.

Juniors Walker, my OC Solo and my wife's Titan Excelsior.

Hey Peter  :cheers:,

Again, such awesome pics  :drool:.

I know you said you live in the "flat" part of Switzerland, but judging from your pictures it seems to be a perfect place for those nice relaxing hikes with the family (without the added "stress" of going up and down a 3000m high peak), and the view is still stunning.

Love how you put the names on that last pic, looking at that pic it feels as if I'm there, looking at one of those tourist information signs showing which town or castle is where...   Nicely done :tu:.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures here, and for keeping my humble topic alive, really appreciate it my friend  :hatsoff:.

Greetings from Berlaar (that's the town where I live, in the south of the provence Antwerp, now you can do a google earth search as well, to have an idea of the region where I live  ;)).

Hello Eric

Thank you. Yes, this part of Switzerland is beautiful too and I am deeply rooted in Winterthur. But the high alpine landscape is much more exciting for me and always breathtaking. 3000 meters in altitude up and down, yes that is tough! I'm not very fit, a third of it is enough for me.

It's my honor, I like this thread! And I love to see in which areas and places of the world other knife fans are. And I always like to see outdoor edc stuff pictures, so this thread is perfect.

I know you once mentioned that you live with Berlaar and posted photos from the Sint-Pieterskerk. It is noticeable that you, as a castle fan, do not show any photos of the Hof van Rameyen or any other pretty kasteel here.  :pok:

Best regards and  :cheers:

Hey Echotech,

Beautiful pics of a stunning place mate  :drool:

Just checked Google Earth and it seems as if you're literally surrounded by national parks  :o.

That's what I like best about this topic, you get the chance to "visit" your MTO friends (be it virtually).

Looks like your 4 legged friend enjoyed the cooling water there, great pic  :tu:.

Hey Peter,

Thank you for the kind words, and I think it's great that you like this topic so much (and for the same reasons I do).

And you sure did your homework on my hometown  :tu:.

The castle "Hof van Rameyen" is only 2km from my home, and we always ride past it when we go mountainbiking, but it can be a bit crowded there since a lot of people start their hikes there as well.  But I'll try to get some pics of it in the future  ;).

About 1km to the North West of "Hof van Rameyen" there's a tiny village named Gestel, it's very nice with its small church surrounded by the old cemetery, and the old "schandpaal" (don't know how to translate this, but it's an old stone pillar to which people were chained back in the old days, and bystanders could throw stuff at them, as punishment).

I have some pics of Gestel somewhere, I'll try and post a couple of them here when I find them.

Greetings from Berlaar,

Eric

Thanks Eric :tu:
yes we’re very lucky around here, lots of bush and beaches, as we come into summer the weather is warming up, (up to 45c in western Sydney today), intend to make the most of both.

I live about 25km south of Brooklyn in Sydney’s northern suburbs, pretty close to Huntsman from this forum who lives a couple of suburbs away.

I’ve lived in Sydney since 1984 but grew up in the Cotswolds in England, Belgium was the first country I ever visited on a school trip when I was 15, we mostly stayed in the very beautiful Brugge, but went to Brussels and other places.

It holds very happy memories for me…I remember we were most impressed that the pubs served us and the beer was truly incredible :cheers: that was 1978…the song Ca Plane Pour Moi was being played everywhere but hadn’t hit England yet, we thought it was brilliant :)

Berlaar looks like it has some very impressive buildings and great history :like:

All the best

And Brugge is indeed very beautiful, but can be too crowded for me.  And yes, most pubs don't mind serving beer to 15 or 16 year olds, at least that's how it was when I was that age (back in the 90's), my oldest son is 15 years old now, so maybe I'll find out if they still serve teenagers beer in the near future  ::).

Please feel free to post as many pics here as you want, tools, tools and scenery, only scenery, it's all good here  :tu:.

Went for a short walk with my little girl (she always wants to go hiking).

I found the key to avoid the busy moments in the woods these days is to go real early, or just before dusk...

So we arrive when most people go home, just the way I like it  :D.

Here are a couple of pics.

Hey John,

Again, beautiful pics mate.  How I wish I could visit some of these places  :dd:.

Maybe if I won the Euromillions lottery, or maybe I should just react to those mails from that African Prince who needs help in claiming the millions he inherited...

And I see a lot of Belgian beers lately, I work in a brewery since januari this year, after working in a hospital for 15 years, I quit that job a month or two before Covid-19 hit, talking about dodging a bullet (well, Mrs TG-24 still has to deal with Covid-19, since her department in the home for the elderly where she's been working for 24 years now just went into full quarantine last week).

Anyway, about those beers, the irony here being that I haven't had a beer since I was 18 years old or so, when I applied for the brewery job they told me this little fact was actually a pro instead of a con  :D.

Hope I didn't make too many typos or grammar mistakes, since it's 3.30 at night here, and I'm feeling a bit drowsy.

Anyway, thanks for sharing your awesome pics here, I really appreciate it  :salute:.

This is the river "Grote Nete" (Grote meaning big) there's a "Kleine Nete" river (kleine meaning small) as well, which flows a couple of miles to the north of the Grote Nete, both rivers come together in the city Lier, to form the "Nete" river.

Yes, we are a creative bunch when it comes to naming our rivers...

A flea market is also a public place, isn't it? Unfortunately, knifes and place are not in the same photo, but today I got some "Christmas decorations" at this flea market. But my wife claims they are only pocket knives.

No matter I like them anyway.  :climber:

Beautiful pics as always :drool:.

And nevermind that "public place" aspect my friend, half of the pics I post here are shot in our garden  ;).

Anything goes here, it's all good  :tu:.

Thanks for sharing those sweet pics here mate, you know how much I appreciate that  :hatsoff:.

Hey Peter,

Our garden is actually quite small, but by picking the right spots, the magic of photography can hide this quite well  ;).

Best wishes to you and your loved ones as well my friend, and let's hope this Covid-19 thing will soon be a thing of the past, and 2021 will give us a chance to go on vacation again (we miss the Austrian/Swiss mountains here...).

But until then, stay safe my friend  :salute:.

Happy New Year  :cheers:.

Hey John,

Amazing pics my friend  :drool:.

So, it's actually mid-summer over there, right?
That is so awesome when you think of it.

A bit late, but Merry Christmas for you as well, and a Happy New Year to you and your loved ones.

Keep it safe, and let's hope 2021 will make us forget about 2020 as soon as possible (in a good way, not worse  :ahhh).

Greetings from Belgium  :cheers:.

Finally I can post some pics of my Christmas gift which only arrived this tuesday, thanks to Post.nl  ::).

It only took them 15 days to get a package from The Netherlands to Belgium, well actually, it took them 3 days to get it into Belgium, and the other 12 for losing all track of it...

Anyway, after a lot of frustrating e-mails, chat sessions and phone calls with Post.nl, the shop where I ordered it send me another one, which arrived the next day.

So here it is, my new Victorinox...

I had been thinking about getting myself the Inox or Airboss Automatic, but they were above my current budget, and then I found this Titanium Inox at a -35% discount, so it was too good to let it pass...

The delay is annoying, on the other hand, waiting for something can make the joy grow more ...
What a beautiful watch! And the GITD Vic. shield ... so cool!  :dd:

Yes, we also miss traveling to our favorite places. But it's the same; if we have to wait longer, the joy is even greater ...

Today at work I drove by here:

Thanks guys, I really like the watch and I'm so happy that this one happened to be on discount.

They also have this Titanium version with a black dial and black rubber strap, but I love the more classic look of the one I got, with the green dail, the contrasting red military time and seconds hand, and the brown leather strap, for some reason it reminds me of a WWII plane, like a P40 Thunderbolt or something...

And about the leather strap, I read somewhere that the leather strap is made from the same leather as firemans' boots in Switzerland, and that it's flame resistant/retardant, don't know if it's true, but that sure would be cool.

So happy with it, and when it arrived, Misses TG-24 said "well, your first Victorinox watch", first being an important word here, it means she already knows that there will be more in the future 😉.

About vacation, our last vacation was back in 2018 (in 2019 we renovated our home, so no vacation budget that year, but we could always go back on vacation in 2020, yeah right... 🙄).

And the way things are going, summer 2021 is still very questionable...

Until then we will try to get a bit of that vacation vibe from the beautiful pics you guys post here  ;).

Peter, those last two pics are once again beautiful, great to create that Christmas/New Year feeling, thanks my friend  :salute:.

Greetings to both you guys, stay safe  :salute:.

So green and sunny :dd:.

Over here everything is grey and dark :cry:.

How I miss summer... (until it's 39,6°c again in my bedroom, and I whine about how much I miss those cold winter nights  ::)).

Anyway, thank you for bringing a bit of that summer feeling to us, and thank you for posting your pics in my humble topic, you know by now how much I appreciate that, right?  ;)

If the weather isn't too bad I might go out on a winter hike myself one of these days, it's been way too long...

It’s actually been pouring down with rain for last few weeks but was very lucky on Monday with a nice sunny warm day, very different to this time last year and tbh a bit of a relief as we’ve been in drought for years so starting to replenish the dams etc

Hope to get back out tomorrow :)

Great area, John.
The clock is really a timeless eye-catcher!

Today was the first time since 15!! Days here blue sky and sunshine.
A short walk from our house is the Bäumli park on the Goldenberg, a hill in the middle of the city of winterthur, switzerland.

Misses TG-24, our little girl Caitlin and yours truly went for a short relaxing walk today.

Since all the regular hiking spots are still over flooding with people who just discovered nature and hiking, as it seems, we had to get a bit creative to find a reasonable nice place without too many people around.

But enough about that, here are some pics.

First time I used the protective case on the watch, I like both looks, with or without case, and the case does offer extra protection to the watch, and it fits...

By posting these magnificent pictures here  :2tu:

Warning: next spoiler contains stuff that might be a bit depressing, don't say I didn't warn you...

Show content
Every time someone posts such beautiful pics here and shares such great family moments, it brightens up my day (and my days have been pretty dark lately, due to work related problems that mess up my family time as well, because I can't get them out of my head, not even when I'm at home...).

So when I tell you guys that your posts mean a lot to me, it's not just me saying kind things, it's the honest truth.


But enough about that, we also had some snow here, at least between 0.75cm and 1 cm, on the grass, because on concrete it turned into water immediately. 

So we spend 30 minutes in our garden with our little girl, by then the snow turned into rain and the fun was over...

Since I can't seem to find the time (or the right mood) to take some pics myself lately,  I might just recycle some of my old pics here one of these days.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful pics my friend,
Greetings from Belgium :hatsoff:.

Hey Eric

Sad to hear. I renounce "esoteric wisdom" and really wish that you can solve the problems and soon have better times.

Thanks for all the praise, but my pictures are not really good. They are simply pictures from my life. And that's what I like so much about this thread moderated by you so kindly. All of us here share the joy of knives, tools and all kinds of EDC stuff. To see what the daily companions of other members are and what it looks like in their area ... I really like to see that.

The amount of snow here in Winterthur is extreme! 40cm that happens about every 20 years. But half of it has melted again.  :-[

greetings from Switzerland

And about your previous pic, well, my first thought was "why do I see the back of Batman's head on the bottom of the pic"...

This is the beautiful, notorious, and even dreaded Appenzeller Railway (hundreds of unsecured track crossings, mostly in curves and when the flashing and ringing signal goes off you have about 10 seconds to leave the rails, otherwise you can look the train driver in the eyes!)

Yes, really, now I've seen batman too. He also seems to enjoy the morning mood...

My apologies for the late reply.

I've been feeling a bit sick these last days and although I visit this place from time to time, I do seem to miss a lot of things, guess I'm not at my sharpest at the moment...

And about the feeling sick, my oldest son and our little girl had the same symptoms a couple of days ago, and he tested negative, so it's probably just a cold for me as well.

Anyway, awesome pics John  :o.

I would love to have those temperatures over here right now (but wait until summer, and after two hot weeks I'm wishing it was winter again  :D).

Beautiful pics of a great knife, and that scenery is just breathtaking...

What 111mm SAK is that?  I can't see it on the pics, the only "red" 111mm I own is the Hercules, and I love it (I also own a couple of Soldiers, a DAK, an orange Huntsman Pro, and a Forester with wood scales, but the Hercules is the most carried).

Thanks for sharing your pics here my friend

Hey John,

Again, great pics  :tu:. 

The skies in that last one...  :o

The 111mm series makes for great outdoor knives, the perfect compromise between the regular 91mm and the huge 130mm Ranger series.

We are kinda spoiled by Vic and Wenger, aren't we?  :D

Thanks for sharing your pics here mate, I really appreciate it  :salute:.

Not really public pics...

Still feeling a bit under the weather since my illness last weekend (tested negative for Covid-19,
luckily), and with the dreary weather over here it's best to stay inside I guess...

But here are some "indoor pics" from some new toys  ;).

Despite not being a fan of the switch from Pioneer to Pioneer X, I still had to get a 2021LE to keep the collection complete (and also because that orange is just beautiful).

And since they had a 10 Euro discount on it I finally pulled the trigger on the Farmer X.

Congratulations on the two new ones! The orange is really nice, mine came too.
And the FarmerX ... the only 93mm with four layers!

Thanks guys, I like both of them  :tu:.

The Farmer X is a beautiful SAK indeed, and as long as Victorinox keeps adding layers to their Alox models, I'll keep on buying... (dreaming of an Alox "Swisschamp like" SAK).

 :dd:

And we all knew I wasn't going to quit collecting the annual LE Pioneers just because they switched to the Pioneer X this year...  ::)

I feel the same way, Eric! In my whole life I have never had such a desire to travel anywhere!  :ahhh

But what should I do? The impending quarantine is not compatible with my job, so I'll leave it and rediscover my area ...

And yes, Eric, you mentioned that you appreciate my pictures.  :hatsoff:
Sometimes I think they're pretty boring for others, there are really more spectacular areas than Winterthur ... :facepalm:

Today strolled once more in our preferred nearby walking area.
15 minutes on foot from here you are in a city of over 100,000 inhabitants. I wonder where all the people are, walking is still allowed here. 
Just a few impressions:

I think we all appreciate them and each other’s Sneider, always interesting to see where people live, their love of their home town and their lives.
Very different from my environment that’s for sure, many years since I’ve seen snow…I do probably see more beaches and rainforest than you guys though

Not been out in the bush last few weekends, will again soon, so here’s a couple of Coco in the park with a Spirit XC I’m carrying this week in the poker face challenge :cheers:

Thanks for the beautiful pics Peter and John, you guys keep this place running  :hatsoff:.

My apologies for the late reply (again  :-[), I'm working the evening shift this week and just started operating a new machine last week, and it's been two weeks of misery. 

Cold weather (freezing) and "empty" beer bottles stored outside don't mix too well apparently, and seeing my machine is the first one they enter (to clean them, like a big dishwasher) the frozen ones all bursted right there, giving loads of problems to me, operating the machine for the first time...  :(

When I come home I can barely take a shower before I crawl of to bed... And the noise... Even with earplugs and a protecting headphone my ears are ringing all the time. Having serious doubts about doing this job for the rest of my life...

Thanks again for the great pics guys, I'm always looking forward to them  :salute:.

I'm a music lover myself, and I enjoy focussing on all the small details in music, the baseline, the vocal harmonies etc...  And I play the guitar as a hobby, so I would love to keep my hearing as pristine as possible...

Anyway, today was a better day, got a small raise because I got a positive evaluation, let's hope things will get better from now on.  And if not, I'm still on a temporary contract until April, so if, by then, things have not improved, maybe it's time to find something else, again...

Very special pics John, both beautiful and eerie at the same time  :o.

Mother nature is very resilient, but she does take her time sometimes... In a couple of years that place will be back to its old glory, until then you have quite a unique scenery for some awesome pics.

The combination of the charcoal tree with the BO Wave is awesome, by the way  :tu:.

Would be great to see some pics of the same spots in the future, to see how nature recovers...  :pok:

All Swiss reservoir lakes together fit around 4 billion m3 of water. A lot of renewable energy that can be easily stored.
But like all energy sources, hydropower also has its downsides....

Today we did a easy hike in our "behind the house area" with a break by the fire. Stick bread and cervelat sausages, a little black chocolate for dessert - we love it!

Nothing better than a picnic by the fire  :tu:.

Too bad an open fire is a no go over here these days, but I remember when I was a kid, back in the 80's, we used to have a campfire in the back garden every Friday evening.  Ah, the good old days...

We had a nice short walk in a small woodland area only 2 or 3 kilometers from our home as well.  I took some pics and will try to upload them tomorrow afternoon, when I get home from the morning shift.

Thanks for sharing those great pics Peter, that looked like a great time for you and your family  :tu:.

I'm looking forward to your photos!

Cheers gents. :tu: The SAK is actually a Signature Light. It's still going strong after 21/22 years. 8)

The river is the River Ribble. It starts near the Ribblehead Viaduct in North Yorkshire and flows through Lancashire and into the Irish Sea. This stretch is in my home city of Preston, which it flows through quite a bit of. It's also the border between Preston (where I'm stood) and the town of Penwortham, which is what you can see on the other side. I do a regular loop walk in a morning, so I cross over the river and back twice at two different points. If the weather's right it can be spectacular. If it's not it's just grey. :D

No problem at all. :tu: I do the same - if I see somewhere new someone lives, or even if I get a package from somewhere abroad, I'm always nosey and have a look at it on Google Maps. 

Not had chance for any outdoor pics over the last couple of days, but I'll definitely update when I can. Complete with description. :)

Yes, luckily there is Google earth / maps. I also use it often.
I look forward to more pictures, description.

Often driven past the ruins of Freienstein and each time I decided to take a closer look. Today I did it.

Unfortunately there is only a remnant of the tower. In 1806 a large part of the castle was demolished in order to build this bridge.

Alox Classic outdoors in Miller Park, Preston. One of two Victorian Parks (the other being Avenham Park) that stand side by side, to the point where people often think they're the same park.

@Echotech: Nice knife! Fits great with the green landscape. I get in a summer mood just looking at the pictures.
Here in Switzerland , maybe everywhere in Europe, everyone is looking forward to spring.

@ Michael: What a beautiful, well-kept park on the ribble. I feel like strolling there.  :dd:

Autumn is in the air here and I’m sure spring is very much looked forward to in the northern hemisphere.

One of my fave country pubs, Wollombi Tavern in the Hunter Valley …great burgers :D

That looks like a great pub! When I eventually get out to Sydney I'll have to try and persuade someone to drive me out there. :think:

I've got to try Dr Jurd's at some point, though. It looks like the Aussie equivalent to Buckfast. :ahhh

Be good to see you out here Michael, I’m sure we’d find a way to get you to Wollombi :D
Dr Jurds is only available from this one pub but lots of people have a bottle in the back of the cupboard, it’s a little raw!

The photos don’t really do the pub justice, there’s a big beer garden out the back and until the 90’s was still all dirt roads. Very busy on weekends, great trip on a motorbike :cheers:

The Hunter Valley is a premier wine growing area and definitely a great place to visit :drink:

Beautiful pictures gentlemen  :drool:.

I thank all of you for your input here, I appreciate it very much, you guys keep my humble topic going.

Thank you  :hatsoff:.

I'm working the late shift this week, so time to visit, let alone post something on MTO is very rare.  But tomorrow is the last day of work this week, so I hope I can post some pics here by tomorrow evening. I've already uploaded some pics of these last weeks on my imgur account, so that's half the job done.

Hopefully I can find the energy to post them here tomorrow, work has been very busy and stressful, and I've been faling asleep as soon as dragged myself from the shower to the couch these past 3 weeks or so...

Anyway, loving those beautiful pics and all the background information you guys share here  :tu:.

Keep them coming my friends.

Greetings from Belgium,

Eric  :salute:.

It's a long term plan, although Covid has made a slight mess of it; I intended to come out for the Ashes at the end of this year and do Brisbane and Adelaide, then in four years time do Melbourne and Sydney (I've already done the WACA in Perth). As it is, I might end up only being able to do Perth again as I know I'll be guaranteed to get tickets; it depends on the world situation and how generous work are feeling. ::)

Dr Jurd's does look interesting. I've been having a nosey on the pub's website - I think I'd take advantage of a free sample and then settle in with a Tooheys New and Old as they're the only two they list that I've not tried before. :cheers:

I would probably have to bring a bottle of Dr Jurd's back to share round a local pub with a couple of mates, though. :drink:

But here are some pics from last month or so.

I'll start with the "oldest" ones, when we had a couple of days of snow here (at least 2 or 3 centimeter  :o).

Fingers crossed! I've heard a possibility that Melbourne/Sydney would take place at the usual time, with the other three Tests after them, so it would be all next year. If it means I can make any of them I'll be happy. Ashes time is great, always a good laugh with the Aussies; I had a belting trip back in 2017. :)

These are from 3rd March.
Parked at the Lake Lyndon Lodge then climbed SW up to point 1170.
A couple minutes after sitting down against a tussock to hide from the freezing wind I noticed this weta cruising past.

Canterbury tree weta, Hemideina femorata.

If you're into cars and smoking a '68 Camaro, pack of Chesterfields, sunglasses and a suit should also do the trick :) :)

Yes, I'm very excited about it, my dream guitar...  :dd:.

I've picked up my old Squier Stratocaster around this time last year, after playing the cr*p out of it in the 90's it found its way into the bedroom corner, went through two times of moving into another house, and got forgotten for almost 20 years. 

When I picked it up last year, it didn't work anymore, and since I had no idea whether it was the guitar or the amp that was broke, I dropped it off at a local music instruments shop.

They repaired it, I got myself a new (and way better amp) and since then bought myself two acoustic Martin guitars (a DX-2E and a Martin LX-1 Mini Martin), one acoustic Sigma DMC-1STE-BK for my oldest son, and a Squier Strat (a beautiful 50's replica) and amp for my youngest son, and two Ukuleles for our little girl  ;).

Sadly enough our little girl is the only one who regularly picks up one of her Ukuleles, our boys have played for about 15 minutes on their guitars since we bought them...  Oh well, guitars age quite well, and who knows, maybe the will get tired of their Playstations, at one point (rather sooner than later, I hope).

Anyway, I've learned more this past year as in 10 years of playing guitar in the 90's.

And the Gibson Les Paul is the icing on the cake for me  :D.

I'm still a less than average guitar player in my own opinion, but I'm enjoying each minute of playing them, guess that's what really matters, right?

The weather here was uncomfortable today. Strong wind and freezing rain. And what do the children want? Ice cream!
Now we have a family rule; there is only dessert when we had outdoor activity!
Well, in the neighboring village there is a farm that sells delicious, homemade ice cream and so we just walked to this farm.
In freezing rain and strong wind! To eat ice cream !!  :doh:
When we finally got there we lay in the hay in the warm cowshed to warm up - and then we ate delicious ice cream.
Bit crazy but it was fun.

Last week was a very special week, I bought two things that had been on my wanted list for years...

Both of them were available last week,  and both of them were a bit cheaper as normal (no extreme discount sadly enough, but since both items don't often come with a discount, I had to pull the trigger now...).

So, you guys have seen the Gibson, here's item number two:

Very excited about my Airboss, and I had a hard time choosing which version I would take, but in the end it was the classic timeless look of blue with brown leather that won  ;).

And who knows, maybe in the future I can get another version (did the same thing with my Casio Mudmaster), but I better make sure Misses TG-24 does not read this (I kinda promised to lay low for a while now... :-\).

Got back outside for a walk this morning and took my new Huntsman along for the ride... In Avenham Park there's a Japanese Garden, added in the 1930s when it was a fashionable thing to have, and it's often the quietest bit of the park so it's a nice place to take SAK photos without scaring the locals...

Thank you Michael.  :hatsoff:
More beautiful park pictures of you. Really nice to look at. Love this black ground camo scales.
My hometown also has some nice parks, it's just the weather or this corona thing that is keeping me away at the moment...

View over the landscape recently after work.

Beautiful pics Michael  :drool:.

It might have been fashionable in the 30's, but I wouldn't mind a bit of Japanese garden in my backyard in 2021 either...

 :dd:

Looks like a nice relaxing place to spend some time and take SAK pics mate, and if it's the quietest bit of the park, it only gets better in my opinion  ;).

Thanks for sharing your pics here my friend  :hatsoff:.

And Peter...

Always posting these "postcard pics"...

You guys have it all over there don't you, beautiful scenery, tons of old, vintage SAKs up for grabs... ;)

I was planning on winning the big Euro-Millions jackpot a couple of weeks ago, so I could move to Switzerland and spend my time searching for SAKs, but guess what?
Some Swiss dude won it!! :viking:

Anyway, until I win Euro-Millions, your pics will have to ease the pain, thanks for sharing your beautiful pics here my friend  :salute:.

Hey Eric, thanks for your kind words.  :hatsoff:
Yes, I've heard of the lucky swiss dude. I would have granted you it too!
Unfortunately, I have no chance of winning at euromillions.  :cry:

Speaking of tons of old vintage SAKs..., :whistle:
 today I drove to an old man who offered me a box of saks for sale. There was a nice castle in the place, unfortunately I didn't have time to look for a good photo spot, that is the less beautiful back of the castle.  :dunno:


Anyway, Burgdorf, Switzerland.

Since I'm working the morning shift this week,  we had the chance to enjoy the beautiful sunny weather yesterday by going on a walk near our home.

We went to a small town called Gestel, a pittoresk place, with a beautiful town square,  with a small church (where our 3 children were baptised), a presbytery, and an old pillor.

You can find a wiki page about Gestel here (https://nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestel_(Berlaar)), the Wikipage is only available in Dutch, so I guess you guys will have to use Google translate.

The river "Grote Nete" runs about 50m behind the church,  so we started at the townsquare, and from there we continued our walk on the banks of the river.

Overlooking the fields in the direction of the village of Gestel.

But the next few days in Winterthur there will be 22 ° C and not a cloud!   :ahhh

Another great pic Peter  :tu:.

Just looked up Brienz in Google earth (because I had the idea that I'd seen that church before), and I noticed "Meiringen Flugplatz" to the east of Brienz.

That's when I knew we had probably passed through Brienz the same day we visited Meiringen (and the Aareschlucht near Meiringen).

The same day I found my NIB Swisschamp XL (well, actually it was Misses TG-24 who found it), and the Snow and Blaze Rangers for me and my oldest son.

Great memories  :dd:.

Hello Eric. Thank you. It's a nice church, but the the photo quality is terrible!

Yes, Brienz is near Meiringen. Meiringen airfield is a base for the Swiss Air Force, sounds impressive when the fighter jets thunder through the valleys.

I love the area around Lake Brienz. What a coincidence that my Belgian friend also has such beautiful memories of this area! Get on an old paddle steamer in Thun (for me the most beautiful ships in the world) and drive over both lakes to Brienz ...
Or with the Brienzer Rothornbahn to the Rothorn summit ...
Or the Grandhotel Giessbach at this beautiful waterfall. 21 years ago I surprised my girlfriend and today's wife with an overnight stay in this special hotel.

Another time we camped on Lake Brienz and came back completely overheated from a strenuous mountain tour. We bathed in the lake and didn't want to get out of the water at all. In the end we took the table and chairs into the shallow water on a gravel bank. We sat in the water until late at night, making bacon on the gas stove, melting cheese and toasting bread ...

I've been to Thun, about 2002 if memory serves me correctly. I got the train over from Kandersteg - it was in my Scouting days - and had a wander around the town and castle. I didn't get on a paddle steamer, but I did walk up the side of the Aare from the railway station for a short while. I wish I knew which box the photos were in...

On the weekend there was a flea market in my beloved hometown of Winterthur, which has the largest pedestrian zone in Switzerland.
Because of C. the stands were widely scattered, so I had a few kilometers to walk. The weather was nice, I really enjoyed it, even if I didn't find anything for my collection this time.

Went for a walk this afternoon with the idea of sitting in the park with a couple of beverages. The parks were rammed, so I ended up on the other side of the river instead. Much more pleasant.

The white building on the corner across is a pub, The Continental, which usually does fine food and a fine array of cask ale and craft beer. The beer garden is a fantastic place to drink on a sunny day. One day, one day soon...

Another day, a different park. Winckley Square, just off the City Centre. A Georgian Square that was once an exclusive place to live, the park was once gated for the wealth residents, but is now a public park. It's undergone a lot of work in recent years to make it better and safer for people to use with some greats nods to the history. One of the Suffragettes, Edith Rigby, lived here and there is an area marking Women's Suffrage in her honour.

Today I went to our forest place with my son again. Worked a little on our camp, we want to spend the night there soon, and of course we have grilled Swiss cervelat sausages, which is almost an obligatory ritual when we are in the forest.

Heh. :D The Winterthur trip didn't see that much travelling, honest! But we flew in and out of Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg, so before driving back we diverted to Liechtenstein to tick off another country. Aside from that, walking to Töss and getting the train back after breakfast was as close to travelling as I got. :)

I had a brief walk round Winckley Square today before a burger and a couple of pints. I then got a train to Burscough in West Lancashire to watch a game of non-league football. The station at that end of the town is very well looked after, although it's now a shadow of it's former self after the rail cuts of the 70s onwards.

I had a brief walk round Winckley Square today before a burger and a couple of pints. I then got a train to Burscough in West Lancashire to watch a game of non-league football. The station at that end of the town is very well looked after, although it's now a shadow of it's former self after the rail cuts of the 70s onwards.

And a bonus 'action' shot of the football. I didn't think it was a good idea to start trying to get the PX in on any of the shots, even at that level...

Great pics Michael  :tu:.

I love pics of trains and trainstations (guess I've seen too many episodes of "Thomas the Tank Engine" when our boys were little).

And indeed, probably better not to take pics of a SAK during a football game.

Thanks for sharing your pics here mate  :salute:.

Sorry for the poor picture quality.

Love the "up-side down" pic Zoidberg, I've done the same in the past with a "water reflection" pic, and it always creates a very special effect (I will try to find the pic I'm talking about).

And yes, you're right, it's a pic of a small pond with leaves in the water that I turned upside down.

I posted this pic on Facebook a couple of years ago, but it was Zoidberg's upside down pic on the previous page that reminded me of this one.

Beautiful pics guys  :tu:.

My apologies for the late replies, we have had some stressful weeks here, with regular visits to the hospital for one of our children...

Rough times...

Anyway, In these difficult times,  I enjoy the beautiful pics you guys post here even more, thank you my friends  :salute:.

Oh, and before I forget, it might be possible that some of my photobucket pics in the beginning of this topic dissappear in the near future.

I've been receiving some rather aggressive sounding mails from photobucket to upgrade my account or immediately delete like 1000 pictures to get to the 250 pics you get with a free account.

I politely told them I'm not that fond on how they handle things, and that I'm not going to spend one minute deleting pics on an account I'm not going to use anymore... So they could just as well delete it, I got an e-mail back saying they were going to delete my account, but that it could take a week, and it was possible that I would receive another one of their spam mails...

Now, 4 weeks and about 10 spam mails later I finally received an e-mail saying my account has been deleted.

For now I can still see my old photobucket pics in this topic, but I'm not sure that's going to last...

You guys have no idea how much support (and well needed distraction) you give me with those great pics...

That Mora Eldris is truly a great little knife isn't it? I own two black ones myself (one regular and one with the firesteel and extra loop to secure it for use as a neck knife, one of the only knives that can be used as neck knife in real life, in my opinion).

Both of our sons also have one (also the ones with the firesteel etc...),  a black one for our oldest son, and a green one for the youngest.  Now I just need to get a pink one for our little girl  :think:.

I recently finished work a little earlier and had the opportunity to enjoy the evening in the woods with my son. When I arrived at our camp, I noticed that I only had my little office knife with me. My eight year old son was better equipped than me!

I still have a couple of pics from a short family hike, from a month ago or so, I hope to post them here in the near future.

Thanks for the great pics, all of you.  This is always the first (and often, the only) topic I visit.

Been comparing my different camping stoves each weekend. Esbit is my favourite mainly because it’s so easy to use, with or without fuel tablets, as well as being compact and light.

Picked up this super lightweight job recently, inexpensive and although a little fiddly to put together, which could be a deal breaker in bad weather, performed very well

Farmer used to strike the ferro rod, kapok fibre and fat wood shavings went up in a flash

Today I finally got the chance again to go on a nice hike with my two favorite ladies, Misses TG-24 and our little girl Caitlin.

Here are some pics, nothing fancy, just the local river again,  about 2km from our home. 

And since the Covid-19 regulations have been "softened",  and people are allowed to go and have a drink (be it outside,and not inside the bars), it looks like peace and quiet have returned to nature (at least for now, hoping it stays this way).

I love the poppies as well, always make me remember those who died for our freedom.

They look even more impressive on the WWI sites in the west of Flanders, if you ever get the chance to go there, go for it. And if you do, let us know, I'll try to get the Belgian MTO delegation mobilized to escort you during your visit (in other words, I'll give Nick a call  ;)).

I believe there are some pics of some of these sites on the first pages of this topic.

The pics I’ve been posting are from similar spots so you can see the progression as it slowly comes back to normal although the regrowth is like nothing I’ve ever seen before.

It's quite rare for me to have a yellow knife on me, but I bought that yellow Ranger during our vacation to Austria in 2015.  That's why I have this "mountain pic" of it.  It's very unlikely that I'll ever post a new, more recent "mountain pic" of that one  ;).

Loving the view in your pic my  friend, a green meadow, beautiful blue skies with dramatic white clouds... 

The recipe for a stunning pic  :drool:.

Those orchids look beautiful :o.

Your lawn doesn't look that bad mate, we discovered that our lawnmower had died on us weeks ago, when we wanted to mow the lawn for the first time this year, and since it was quite old (and cheap), we decided to buy a new one, but we haven't actually went forward with it yet...

So by now, our lawn is more of a jungle, I hear strange noises coming from it and I could swear I saw a National Geographic film crew exploring it yesterday...

Went on a short hike today, my two ladies and I, nothing special, not a long hike, just some time to get away from all the worries of everyday life...

On my wrist, my trusty Victorinox Inox Titanium, a watch that has found its way into my top 3 favorite watches in the 5 months that I've owned it.

It is mate, nice and quiet...

These passed months were a disaster for people like me, bars and restaurants closed due to Covid-19 lock down, and all the sudden, everybody returned to nature,  or so it seemed.

Now, the bars and restaurants are back open, and  those people are all back where they like to be, all together, in a small spot, drinking. 

Hey, about 25% of the Belgian population has had at least one shot of the Covid-19 vaccine, so we're all save now... ::)

 :facepalm:

Oh well, at least I can enjoy my favorite places again  ;).

I know what you mean Eric, a bit different but when everyone was locked down over here, in my suburb lots of people suddenly decided to take up early morning jogging.

Now I have no issue with this of course, but me and the other dog walkers and just people going for a stroll are out at 7am every day of the year, all know each other well and are very friendly, all stop for a chat. It’s like our special time of the day out in nature.

All of a sudden there’s all these newbies out huffing and puffing in designer track suits who’d look at me like I was crazy if I said good morning and for the most part completely ignore me. A very different vibe…none of them lasted longer than a few weeks, me and the other regulars found this most amusing :D

Very nice river photo, Eric.
In my area it is so that the well-known natural places were completely overcrowded. Fortunately there is a lot of normal forest around my city where there weren't many people even during the lockdown. I've loved being in the forest since I was a child, but during the Covid times I learned to appreciate the forest even more. Without this possibility of retreat, I would have gone crazy

Today my son was with me again between the trees and met a hedgehog and three deer. We dammed a small stream, made a fire and tested which SAK size we would like to carve.

Stuck at home with a tennis elbow (and fluid and an infection on my wrist and elbow, thanks to trying to "work it off" instead of staying home from work to give my arm some rest... ::)).

Anyway, we tried to make the best of a bad situation and went on a day trip to the coast, Misses TG-24, our little girl, and yours truly.

Misses TG-24 had to drive there since I'm having trouble driving myself at the moment.

The weather was great,  the beach was empty, in front of us the English Channel, behind us the dunes with a stretch of original "Atlantic Wall" in them, and behind the dunes,  an airport, so plenty to see  ;).

The Rangeman was on duty that day:

As was my trusty Swisschamp:

(https://i.imgur.com/xnUX1cH.jpg)


Here you can see the remains of the Atlantic Wall in the distance, it's a site called "Raversijde" (https://www.raversyde.be/en/atlantikwall), I posted pictures of a visit to the site in this topic in the past,  go check them out, they're on page 6 :pok:.

(https://i.imgur.com/vLEXVVF.jpg)


And since there's an airport behind the dunes...

When we were heading back to the car, an Antonov landed there, quite impressive.

Thanks mate, quite painful indeed, and physiotherapy is very painful as well, I have to put ice on it after each session to numb the pain a bit.

Oh well, at least I can go for a walk now, a couple of years I had the same problem in my knee (they don't call it a tennis elbow then  ;)),  and I was stuck on the couch.

On the bright side, I got myself a new GPS watch a couple of days ago.

When Garmin released their Instinct watch a couple of years ago,  I was very interested, but never went for it.  When they released the Instinct Solar, I was sold...

I went for the Tactical version since you can get that one in moss green.

Took the time to set it up to my preferences today, and I will still need a couple of hikes to get to know it a bit better, but it feels very comfortable on the wrist, and it's a nice change from my giant Casio Mudmaster.

Nice! A quality bit of kit Eric, do you need to set elevation or automatic?

I think you can do both John, but I haven't had much field time with it yet, so I still need some time to learn how to use it properly.

I've seen the option "manual calibration"  and "calibrate by GPS location" on it, so I guess you can do both. 

But nothing beats manual calibration in my opinion.  Every time you pass a signpost, or a cabin with the exact altitude on it, calibrate... 😉

Already posted this in a topic about ABC watches, but thought I should post it in "my own"  topic as well  ;).

I got myself a new ABC watch a couple of weeks ago, the Garmin Instinct Solar Tactical (let's name it G.I.S.T. for future reference).

Got the chance to test it out on a couple of short hikes, getting to learn how to use it.

It's not the easiest watch, it has quite a lot of functions besides the ABC stuff, like heart rate monitor, oxigen saturation meter, and some smart watch functions.  And the manual that comes with the watch is... how should I put it... very minimalistic (that's putting it mildly).

Here are some pics.

(https://i.imgur.com/UNgfBkm.jpg)


Here you can see the solar panel:

(https://i.imgur.com/JJyN4OI.jpg)


First impressions:

Pros:

- Great readability, even in direct sunlight.
- Very comfortable on the wrist, great wristband.
- Light weight, but still very solid feeling.
- Connectable with smartphone via Garmin App.
- Long battery life (no colour/touch screen), and extra battery life thanks to solar charging.
- A lot of changeable settings, like what info is visible on the watch face, and where does it show this info, regular display or reverse (negative) display.
- Altimeter needs calibrating at the start of each activity, and as much as you can during the activity (as with all barometric altimeters), but it's been quite precise as far as I can tell (will get back to this once I've done a hike with real up- and downhill bits in it).
- Price, well, it's not the cheapest, but still less than half the price of a Fenix 6 (which also offers solar charging, but less effective as on the Instinct, due to the Fenix 6 using more power with its colour/touchscreen, and the solar panel being a lot smaller as on the Instinct).
- While you can't store music on the watch itself, you can use the watch to control music stored on your phone, skip to the njext or previous song, pause, control the volume. 5


Cons:

- Not an easy watch for someone who's new to this type of watches
- The manual that comes with it is just rubbish, you can download a better manual on the Garmin site, and some YouTube even has a self-made manual in pdf format, which is even better than the one on the Garmin site.
- No colour- or touchscreen
- Not as many training functions as on the Fenix series.
- Music can not be stored on the watch itself.


Conclussion:

Since I'm not much of an athlete, I don't need all the extra training functions, or VO2 MAX stuff that's on the Fenix, and I don't listen to music while I'm hiking either, so the Instinct is the better choice for me.

It's the perfect outdoor watch, for a short sunday walk, or long hikes, and I suspect even a multi day hut tour in the Alps (I haven't had the chance to use it in the Alps, sadly enough) the Instinct can handle it.  And the extra battery life thanks to the Solar panel is just awesome.

As always, this is just my own,  humble opinion.

Already posted this in a topic about ABC watches, but thought I should post it in "my own"  topic as well  ;).

I got myself a new ABC watch a couple of weeks ago, the Garmin Instinct Solar Tactical (let's name it G.I.S.T. for future reference).

Got the chance to test it out on a couple of short hikes, getting to learn how to use it.

It's not the easiest watch, it has quite a lot of functions besides the ABC stuff, like heart rate monitor, oxigen saturation meter, and some smart watch functions.  And the manual that comes with the watch is... how should I put it... very minimalistic (that's putting it mildly).

Here are some pics.

Here you can see the solar panel:

First impressions:

Pros:

- Great readability, even in direct sunlight.
- Very comfortable on the wrist, great wristband.
- Light weight, but still very solid feeling.
- Connectable with smartphone via Garmin App.
- Long battery life (no colour/touch screen), and extra battery life thanks to solar charging.
- A lot of changeable settings, like what info is visible on the watch face, and where does it show this info, regular display or reverse (negative) display.
- Altimeter needs calibrating at the start of each activity, and as much as you can during the activity (as with all barometric altimeters), but it's been quite precise as far as I can tell (will get back to this once I've done a hike with real up- and downhill bits in it).

We've had no problems here, but the images on the news are just awful, and the region that's hit the hardest is my favorite hiking region in Belgium.

As if Covid-19 isn't enough to worry about,  2021 isn't much better than 2020, and we're still only just half-way through...

Hi guys. Sorry for my long absence here, some problems and the terrible weather robbed me of time and desire to do something that I could show here.

But today my son and I were finally able to spend a few hours comfortably at our forest camp. A few impressions:

@Echotech: Thank you!

@TG: Thank you, feels good to be back here.
Oh yes, we are very happy with our little forest camp and I feel that it is good for my child. It's not a spectacular place, but the forest owner tolerates us, we can get there on foot from home and are simply undisturbed there. For me it is a small luxury and in the first lockdown last year, this retreat really saved me from going mad.

Okay...

How can I say this without sounding too melodramatic...

Here goes... I might be away from this place for some time,  we're going through some rough times here (a number of things going wrong), and while already being down on the ground (sort of speaking), I just got kicked in the face (again, not literally) by one of the few people I trusted with my life...

I feel betrayed, stabbed in the back... And the fact  that it was by one of my most trusted and loved people in the world makes it hurt insanely bad...

So posting pics, or even posting a reaction to someone posting a pic here, might not happen for some time, until I find the strength to crawl back up again.

I'll probably drop by from time to time to read up a bit, and maybe see what pics you guys posted.  But I'll probably won't be active myself for a while.

Please, feel free to keep posting something here from time to time (this has never been the most active topic on the forum anyway, but it has been going slow, but steady).

Stay safe my friends, I hope to be back here when I have found the courage to pick up the pieces of myself.

(for smurf sake, that still sounded melodramatic)

Here in Switzerland it's rainy again. . In the last three months I had exactly two days off without rain in Switzerland. I really like rainy days, but a few sunny days wouldn't be that bad either, anyway.
Today we just walked around in our Winterthur city forest for 5 hours and hardly bumped a person. It felt good. Just a few pics.

My apologies for my late reply, please know that it's not because I don't reply immediately, that I don't like the pics (hope I explained it correctly).

Because I do enjoy them very much, and every time I see our little topic pop-up, it's the first thing I check.

I've been hiking a lot these past weeks, it helps to get away from stuff.  Nothing fancy, all hikes are done very close to home.  Even though I don't focus on taking pictures like I used to, I do take a pic occasionally, but I just haven't found the time to post them here.

Anyway, thanks for sharing your beautiful pics here my friend, I really appreciate them :salute:.

Meiringen  :dd:

So many beautiful memories...

Went there during our 2016 trip to Switzerland, best vacation ever.  And it was there that I found my Victorinox Swisschamp XL, brand-new (well, actually it was Misses TG-24 who noticed the "old style" Victorinox box behind the counter).

And in the same shop I got two Snow Rangers and one Blaze Rangers, and my Mike Horn Souvenir.

As I mentioned many times before,  even in this very topic  ::).

I can't help it, our vacation to Switzerland was one of the best moments of my life, so many beautiful places we've visited, and so many beautiful (and rare) SAKs I've bought in only 7 days...

Good times  :dd:.

Hey Eric, You seem to have really enjoyed your trip to Switzerland!
Every time I stop by Bühler I have to remember that my belgian forum friend was also here...

I have been coming to Meiringen with my wife for 21 years.
This is usually our "base camp" for excursions in and around Lake Brienz as well as mountain trips and crystal searches around the Grimsel Pass.

Last weekend we made a short walk by the lake "Räterichsbodensee".
The water is gray from powdered rock that was abraded by the glacier.
Here you can easy find a bay with a sandy beach to yourself!  ;)

I think it's a weird one to explain.  It's a lot bulkier than a SAK with the same tools.  And don't get me started on how much more expensive it is.

It's bulky, boxy, and at the same time so much fun to handle, like I said, weird...

But I love mine  ;).

Talking about posting pics...

Due to circumstances, it's been a while since I posted some pics here myself.  I've done quite some hiking the past weeks, but only occasionally took a pic.

But I finally sorted out my pics and uploaded them to my Imgur account, so I'll start by posting the oldest ones now.

We went on a trip with a railbike, you ride down an old railtrack that was used by the German Army during World War I, to get ammo and supplies by train to and from a base and a local small airfield.

Outside the base (that became a Belgian Army base, after the war) there's a Leopard Tank, that I thought looked cool for some pics.

Last weekend we walked above Meiringen. There is a marble run path. You get a wooden ball and start walking. Local craft companies tinkered along the hiking trail along marble runs in the area, some of them quite large. The whole thing lasted about three hours and not only the children had a lot of fun. Unfortunately, I didn't take really good photos, but I'll show them anyway.

Title: SAKs in public places (or other multitools)
Post by: Echotech on September 13, 2021, 11:32:40 AM
Beautiful pics Peter and John, thanks for sharing them here my friends :tu:.

 :like: :like: :like:

How are you liking that Free T4 John?

I think it's a weird one to explain.  It's a lot bulkier than a SAK with the same tools.  And don't get me started on how much more expensive it is.

It's bulky, boxy, and at the same time so much fun to handle, like I said, weird...

But I love mine  ;).
:iagree: thanks Eric
Totally agree with your take on the T4 and like you I love it too, so nicely made, really like the magnet closure, the locking tools, the extra thickness of the tools, the feel in the hand etc. First SAK like tool I’ve felt that about, although I like my Gerber Armbar too, another nicely thought out tool. I’m doing 15 days with each in the SAKalike challenge at the moment

P4 is on the want list but too damn expensive :ahhh

Very nice photos yourself mate :like:

And that water dragon... If those come in massive size as well, I'm suddenly a bit less sad that I live in boring little Belgium .
:rofl: :) that’s just a little one some of them are huge, have to weigh 20kg or more I’d guess. They’re not scared of humans but also pretty placid

At 20kg, "pretty placid" still isn't really comforting in my "Belgian fauna and flora spoiled" mind  :dwts:.

Time for another pic...

In the background you can see the beautiful scenery of the parking lot behind the Aldi warehouse in my home town  8).

Taken while Misses TG-24 was inside buying groceries, and yours truly rather stayed in the car, listening to some music, taking a pic from one of his favorite EDC tools, the BO Charge +.

Thanks Eric.  :hatsoff:
I also like your pictures. Looks like a cozy place to enjoy some peace and quiet.
And this multitool and watch - you are well equipped.

The pic on the aldi parking is really, um, unique?  :D Certainly a premiere in this thread!
Maybe I will react with a picture of the Lidl parking...  :think:



Unfortunately, I don't have a fresh picture, just these two more from our last trip:

Here are some pics from one of my favorite SAKs (the Evo 28) on one of my favorite hiking spots (the same location, near my home, as in one of my previous posts here).

Great pictures again all, it's always a pleasure to drop in here and see the updates.

I spent a few days down in Taunton for cricket, which ended up including trips to Exeter and then down the English Riviera to Torquay. No SAKs on display, I only had the Alox Classic on me which never made it into any photos, but I felt like it'd be a shame not to share a couple of snaps from the trip.

The butterfly is a Red Admiral (I'm no expert, others identified it) and the trains are a newer class 802 and a good old British Rail HST - once branded InterCity 125. The latter being one of the trains I grew up with in the 80s/90s - they're still the comfiest on the entire network and invoke some very happy memories.

I'll just have to remember to include a SAK in the next set of photos - the Classic did cut open a sachet of mayonnaise for a mate in the pub at dinnertime, though. :)

Beautiful pics of an evenly beautiful scenery Michael  :like:.

Don't worry about there not being a SAK in these pics mate, the whole "pics of your SAK" thingy is only there to give us an extra excuse to take pics and post them here.

And I enjoy a nice scenery pic with or without a SAK in it, either way is fine by me.

So, Torquay you say...

I can't help it, each time I hear that name the following comes to mind:

Quote
Basil: But that is Torquay, madam.
Mrs Richards: Well it's not good enough.
Basil: Well may I ask what you expected to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House perhaps? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plain...
Mrs Richards: [interrupting.] Don't be silly. I expect to be able to see the sea.
Basil: You CAN see the sea! It's over there between the land and the sky!

 :rofl:

Thanks for sharing your pictures here my friend,  I really appreciate them  :salute:.

Greetings from Belgium,

Eric

Today I wanted to drive to work when I suddenly ran into a traffic jam, what's going on here? Oh, the Appenzellerbahn is coming, make a spontaneous pic...

Now it becomes clear to me that today it is regional "Alpabzug". The farmers bring their animals down from the high mountain meadows where grass no longer grows in autumn.

Still working my way through the pics that I took the past 2 or 3 months...

Here are some pics taken during another local hike.  These are also the first pics I post here from our latest family member, our little friend Rocky (about 20 weeks old in these pics).

We forgot Rocky his drinking bowl in the car, but the Signal came to the rescue.

Made sure there were no sharp edges on the improvised drinking bowl...

Nice grasshopper, it looks huge on a child's hand!



My favorite gas station on the way to work. I'm always undecided whether to focus on the knife or the landscape, but there are already so many photos of my OC Solo in this thread, I think you know what it looks like ...

Here are the final pics of these last two months.

Again, the same location as previously.  What can I say,  it's close to home, it's peaceful and quiet (if you go there on the right moment, that is).

And again, showing my Vic 28 and my Charge X.  These two have been my most used EDC setup for some time now (sometimes switching the Evo 28 for a Swisschamp or a Cyber tool L or Lite, and the Charge for a Wave, Rebar,  ST300 or Swisstool).

My small "go to" canteen, I noticed just now that it goes quite well with the BO Charge X  8).

(https://i.imgur.com/myFuReO.jpeg)


And finally, while taking this last pic, I said to Misses TG-24 and our little girl Caitlin that, if this pic was made by my friend in the Land Down Under, it might not be a good idea for her to pose next to these dark murky waters... (I can't get my head around how you guys can go for a relaxing hike with that kind of wildlife around you...).

Anyway, no danger lurking here, so...

Hello Michael  :cheers:.

My apologies for the late reply  :-[.

Beautiful pictures my friend, thank you so much for sharing them here. 

I'm not a bird expert either, so my contribution to bird spotting would be limited to "that's a nice bird", "that's a big bird"... So pretty much useless  ;).

Those two stones in the last pics, any idea what they are?  The first one seems to have a broad arrow sign on top of it, and the bottom one looks like a border stone,  or military (border) stone to me.  But I would sure like to know more about them (I'm a bit of a history geek, so these things intrigue me).

Oh man, Eric, now you've caught me...  :D

On Saturday I was with Mrs. Sneider, Sneider junior and his girlfriend on the relatively small mountain called Kronberg at 1662m.
I'm not happy with the photo quality, somehow I always had to take photos in the direction of the sun and my old phone doesn't take the best pictures anyway, it will soon be time for a new one ....

Here is the view towards Säntis, the highest peak of this small mountain range.

Small mountain  :D.

But still 1000m higher than the highest "mountain" in Belgium (and in all honesty, that one was actually in Germany until after WW2, when the German/Belgian border was re-drawn).

Beautiful pics of a beautiful place, thanks for sharing them here my friend.  It's been a dark and gloomy couple of days here,  it really feels as if autumn is here to stay already, so those sunny mountain pics are a welcome change 😉.

Hey Eric

Little mountain according to Swiss relation, you know.  ;)

I've shown the Kronberg many times in this thread. I have marked it in the picture below. Is really not the highest peak in the picture ...

I wish you some beautiful autumn days in Belgium.
Here in Switzerland, after a lousy summer, we still have some sun at least now.

Interesting location, Michael. Thanks for the pictures.

Cheers fellas. Apologies for my own delayed response, I was away for a bit and the brief time I had to check MTO was spent on the SAK forum...

So, I wasn't 100% sure on the stone markers. I did some digging and I've found the following bits of information taken from the web;

For the "1844" marker - "This stone used to be nearer the river, and was moved when the river defence wall was built in the 1920's. It was originally put in place by the old Ribble Navigation Co."

"This stone marker (one of two - the other is missing) marked the eastern boundry (EB) of the Legal Quays (LQ) of the Port of Preston Customs Area that was set up by the Ribble Navigation Committee in 1844. The way the '4' was represented had yet to be standardized. It was common to see it backwards now and then. There are at least 2 gravestones in Preston churchyards with backwards 4's"

The other one seems to be a bit of a mystery. However, what I have found is this - "This stone is the milestone which marked the one mile from Preston town centre along the old Liverpool route via Penwortham Old Bridge." If something else I've read is correct, it used to have an info plate which read "Preston 1, Ormskirk 17."

I've passed them so many times (I grew up round there) and never really paid them much attention. So now I've learned something myself!

Thanks also, Echotech. Well done!  :hatsoff: :salute:
I love to see pictures like this here, a little bit of travel feeling.
 :like:

During our first lockdown we only made trips to the hills / woods behind the house for over half a year. You feel freedom more intensely when you no longer have it (my experience) But this time also had its good sides...



Another category of public place, recently at a flea market in my area and my finds there:

Cheers fellas. Apologies for my own delayed response, I was away for a bit and the brief time I had to check MTO was spent on the SAK forum...

So, I wasn't 100% sure on the stone markers. I did some digging and I've found the following bits of information taken from the web;

For the "1844" marker - "This stone used to be nearer the river, and was moved when the river defence wall was built in the 1920's. It was originally put in place by the old Ribble Navigation Co."

"This stone marker (one of two - the other is missing) marked the eastern boundry (EB) of the Legal Quays (LQ) of the Port of Preston Customs Area that was set up by the Ribble Navigation Committee in 1844. The way the '4' was represented had yet to be standardized. It was common to see it backwards now and then. There are at least 2 gravestones in Preston churchyards with backwards 4's"

The other one seems to be a bit of a mystery. However, what I have found is this - "This stone is the milestone which marked the one mile from Preston town centre along the old Liverpool route via Penwortham Old Bridge." If something else I've read is correct, it used to have an info plate which read "Preston 1, Ormskirk 17."

I've passed them so many times (I grew up round there) and never really paid them much attention. So now I've learned something myself!

Wow, I missed a lot of beautiful posts here, it seems...

First things first, thank you Michael for doing the research on the stones, I really appreciate stuff like that, and the History buff in me just wants to learn as much of that sort of things as possible.

And my two other friends haven't sat back either, what beautiful pics from both of you, breathtaking...

I've been quite busy at work recently, and haven't found the time to go out myself, and seeing these awesome pics in this topic just brightens up my days  ;).

Thank you Gentlemen for sharing your pics here, I can't say this enough, I really appreciate it  :salute:.

No problem at all Eric, it helped me learn, too. :tu:

I went to Luton on Saturday, which is not a place that is photo worthy, but I stopped off in St. Albans and visited the Cathedral/Abbey, which is...

I also had a little SAK keeping an eye on my beer for me when I did get to Luton...

Ooooh, trains, more trains, a Cathedral...

You guys are the best  :tu:.

Every time I visit this topic it feels like going on a small vacation, awesome  :tu:.

I've been having a bit of a dark vibe about MTO lately, and yesterday I entered a discussion in another topic (which, looking back now, I should've just stayed clear off), but it's too late for that now.

Anyway, my feelings for this place have been going downhill for some time now, and to be honest, this topic (and you guys) is about the only reason I keep coming back here.

I'm going to try and set aside this negativity, and I'll post some pics from a short hike with Misses TG-24, our little girl and of course, Rocky, last weekend.

 I feel like Eric, always a little travel feeling when someone posts interesting photos from another place. I've heard of Luton but never heard of St. Albans ... what a beautiful cathedral! Gothic with another, older one? mixed architecture style?



Eric, don't get upset for things you can't change.  :shrug:

This thread that you started here has also become one of my favorite places that I always like to visit!

I'm just catching up after a few days away in Warsaw - pics will follow when I've had chance to straighten myself out!

Eric, no problem, glad you enjoyed them. :tu: And don't worry too much about that other thread, I only saw it last night after it had been closed, but I would definitely had been in there in your defence. I've learnt to try and avoid topics on here that I think might result in a discussion with people whose world view differ drastically from my own, that being one of them. Stick to photos and SAKs and I'm sure things will turn around. :cheers:

Sneider, some excellent photos yourself, there mate. :like: St Albans is one of the UK's 69 (currently, until Southend's 'promotion' becomes official) cities and the Cathedral is near the site where St Alban, England's first Saint, was martyred. Hence the city's name and everything else. It's a beautiful place and was the first time I'd been.

It's the oldest continual place of worship in the country, I believe much of the architecture is Norman/Romanesque, but there have been other bits re-done over the years with 11th century and Gothic architecture added. Even for a heathen like me it was a lovely place to look round!

I visited St. Alban virtually, what a lovely place ...  :dd:
I'm looking forward to photos from Warsaw ..  :popcorn:


My wife, son and I were in the Bernese highlands for a few days. We did some mountain hikes with a special highlight. I still have to look through the pictures, there is definitely something for here.


Have a pleasant weekend everyone.  :salute:

So. Warsaw... I've been trying to whittle down the number of pictures so I wasn't just dumping loads here, but it's been difficult! It was a great trip - the football club I support is taking part in a European competition for lower league, fan-owned clubs and this was our first match. I'd never been to Poland before, so it was a no-brainer all round, really.

There are a couple of SAK photos in there as well. :D

As I said, we went hiking in the swiss alps for a few days. We resided in a small, simple hotel in the middle of Meiringen. Very close to the cable car that takes you 440 meters higher to Reuti.
(https://up.picr.de/42289401ik.jpeg)

From here we want to hike 1200 meters up to the Planplatten.
The path goes through there and right at the top, right up there, we want to go...
(https://up.picr.de/42354330ak.jpeg)

Finally out of the trees, I love to hike over the tree line and the higher you get, the better the view:

Okay, where do I start... (you guys have been busy again  ;)).

John, you know we don't mind pics without a SAK (or other multitool) in them, this topic is more about the vacation feeling as it is about "there must be a SAK in every pic", if you can combine the two, great, if not, still great 👍.

And the pics you guys post are always a pleasure.

John posts pics with that spring/summer vibe just as things are getting dark and gloomy over here.  And I can only dream of visiting such a beautiful country, and the vastness of the Outback is just mind boggling for us Europeans (and let's not forget... doggy pics!! We do enjoy doggy pics 😉).

Peter posts pics of my beloved Switzerland, one of the most beautiful countries in the world, where I had one of the best vacations of my life (and as a Vic/Wenger fan, it's just a special place to be).

And Michael, I've visited the UK several times, from daytrips in school, to a week long vacation with the tent when I was 16 years old.  The history your country has to offer, it's a dream for a nerd history buff like myself.

Sadly enough it's been a while since I've been there, but only recently I've bought a hiking guide for the region Cornwall-Devon.  I found it at a local outdoorshop, had a look at it and just had to take it home (all this Covid-19 stuff, and the lack of travel/vacation because of it, has made me even more eager to go on vacation, see new places...). But for now, your pics are the best way to get the vacation feeling.

Thank you gentlemen for keeping this place alive  :hatsoff:.

Edit: And just as I wanted to post this, I get the notice that someone else posted something here... Just had a glimpse at the new pics, wow...

I'm going to stop my rambling now, post this, and have a good look at the new pics.

Cheers my friends  :cheers:.

I'm a definite rail nerd, I like public transport in general but I prefer it if it runs on rails; trains, trams, streetcars and so on!

Glad you liked the photos. :tu:

We did win. 6-1. Turns out there's a massive difference between the 7th level of English football and the 7th level of Polish football!

Great pictures of your own there mate, excellent stuff. I do miss Switzerland, although I don't miss the time I hiked through the alps!

Thanls Eric. I've seen a lot of England, but am currently trying to set foot in the remaining counties that I've never been to before. I'm counting both the post-1974 administrative areas and the historic counties and I've got 5 left of each to do. I just decided I need to see as much of the place as possible to appreciate it more.

If we're going UK wise, that's a bigger challenge going forward...

But yeah, I know what you mean - after the last two years I've been desperate to get away. I struck lucky in managing to get to Warsaw after 2 or 3 trips being cancelled.

Beautiful pics  :drool:.

You guys have been quite busy again, it seems  ;).

And John, I knew you guys had some special fauna and flora down there, but that tree...

I can honestly say I've never seen anything like that before  :D.

Thanks for sharing your pics here my friends, stay safe guys :salute:.

Wow, I would love to have a few weeks there myself as well mate  :o.

Beautiful scenery, not too many people around it seems,  just the way I like it  :tu:.

It's always great to leave things behind for a couple of days and unwind. God knows we need a bit of that over here as well.

Thanks Eric first proper break I’ve had out of Sydney for 3.5 years and it’s been fantastic, big drive home tomorrow, with plenty of breaks 9-10 hours

It’s a lovely spot as is all the coast and bush up here, different pace of life as they say

Today I had time for the first time this year to go into the forest with Junior.
Our small forest camp is still standing, the ground is a bit swampy but otherwise 3°C and a few blue spots in the cloudy sky - almost like spring!

Small fire for our sausages - and Junior tried various knives to carve. Was a good afternoon in the woods!

Thanks for the nice pics, Echotech. Good thing it rained more and there was no acute risk of fire.
Summer...  :dd: Here in the flat part of Switzerland it is cold, damp and windy.
After all, the dark, foggy winter days without sunshine are over.

Today we walked for hours through the woods with a break by the fire.
We look forward to spring when nature awakens here again from the winter break.

And to see happy dogs always make me smile.

We slit them just because we can!  :D ;)

These are cervelat sausages, the traditional Swiss national sausage. Many decorate them. X-cuts are ideal around the campfire (almost obligatory). The sausage sticks well to the wooden skewer and if you are almost starving you can nibble on the tips before the sausage is ready. Some say it looks like a suckling pig.

Hello my friends,

First of all, my apologies for my long absence.  It's not that I didn't check in from time to time (this topic is always full of good vibes, and it is still one of the best "virtual trips" one can make) but I just didn't have the time, energy or state of mind to post something myself.

My family and I have seen some rough times for the past two years or so,  and it drains all the energy out of your body just to keep going...

Anyway, trying to crawl back up again, I thought this topic would be a good place to start doing a bit of fun stuff again.

So, where do I begin?

It has not all been bad, I'll start with an awesome giveaway from SOG Knives & Tools Europe that I won.  After already getting an awesome SOG Stout knife from the awesome people at SOG last Christmas (thanks to Nick "Mechanickal" for nominating me for that giveaway), they were giving away a special version of their SOG Bowie 2.0, this one was laser etched with the signature from SOG founder Spencer Frazer, and it came with a hand signed note from him as well.  To join the giveaway you had to share a personal story about SOG, so I did.  And to my surprise, I won...

The nice people from SOG told me this was not a true limited edition, but since Spencer Frazer only did 5 of these, right before he retired, it's safe to say there are only 5 of these out there, and I now own number 4 😁.

Needless to say that this brought some colour to the otherwise dark days we have been going through, thank you SOG,

Hey John,

Thanks for the kind words my friend, we'll get through this eventually, it's just very exhausting since our problems are always there for the moment, 24/7, so we never seem to get a break...

The SOG Bowie, that put a smile on my face for the first time in months.  It's already a beautiful knife by itself, but being laser etched and the hand signed note make it a true collectors piece.  I'm sure there are SOG Collectors out there who would give a kidney for it... :D

I'm forcing myself to get out of the house again, trying to enjoy the outdoors (and some needed sunshine) again.

So sorry to learn of issues you and family is struggling with and understand the importance to place family first 

I too had a difficult 2021, and have just recently been able to start functioning again. 

I must share though, one of your countryman, a young man about twenty two or so just made visit to our family's cousins, returning their father's DOG TAGS, he had lost when in Belgium during WWII Battle of the Bulge he had found at a battle site with his metal detector.  In fact he was visiting multiple families in the U.S. doing the same.   Was strange two set of dog tags were from men that lived about 5 miles apart here in NE Indiana.   The young man represented Belgium very well  :tu:

I must share though, one of your countryman, a young man about twenty two or so just made visit to our family's cousins, returning their father's DOG TAGS, he had lost when in Belgium during WWII Battle of the Bulge he had found at a battle site with his metal detector.  In fact he was visiting multiple families in the U.S. doing the same.   Was strange two set of dog tags were from men that lived about 5 miles apart here in NE Indiana.   The young man represented Belgium very well  :tu:

Thanks for the support mate, sorry to hear 2021 hasn't been kind on you either.

Great story about the Dog Tags, I'm a metal detector user myself (though I haven't used it for several years now).

Great to hear my fellow countryman did a fine job representing our country,  Belgians don't forget...

Stay safe mate  :salute:.

Hey Peter,

Beautiful pics as always my friend  :o.  Thanks for keeping the lights on while I was away  :salute:.

We're trying to spend more time in the outdoors again, one step at a time...

Last Friday, the Misses and I both had the early shift at work, and the evening before we decided we would take a trip to the coast, after work the following day (our little girl really wanted to see the sunset at the coast, but the past year or so, we never found the energy or the time to drive to the coast,  until now  ;)).

We had an awesome time,  even though the windchill was terrible at the end of the day, the three of us sitting on the beach, covered by a way too small picnic blanked, our little girl sitting between the Misses and myself, all 3 of us cold,  but enjoying every second of it  :D.

Hey Eric

Thank you, I'm happy to do this in this great thread.  :salute:

Never wrong to spend time outside in nature. For me personally quite the best medicine.

Oh, what a beautiful sunset! Thanks for the pictures.
Haha, your description - just like us!
How many times have we frozen because we wanted to see the sunset. Again and again simply beautiful.
I'm a bit jealous (in a good way) that you have the coast so close.  ;)


Recently on a Sunday walk:

We went on a small hike near our home on sunday, taking the time to shoot some pics of both our EDC setups, playing around with a Topomap and a compass, just enjoying the sun and the outdoors...

And about the colours...  What can I say?  Girls will be girls I guess  ;).

We've bought the exact same setup (be it in different colours) for our two boys years ago.  A "My First SAK" with a Silva Metro compass, which, despite its simple look, is a real nice piece of EDC kit, and a true Silva.

I had not bought any new tools for a while, but when I found quite a nice deal on this next tool I just pulled the trigger and bought one (knowing it had been on my wanted list for some time now).

Yes, it's a Leatherman Raptor Rescue  :D.

That's actually a road with tram tracks, i can see why it looks like a circuit though, there's signs lining the route for the current Vivid festival
Right in front is Circular Quay with ferry wharves (hidden from view), on top is a freeway they're talking about making into a High Line type of thing, and underneath the railway.
The views from both are about the best views in Sydney so makes sense to get rid of them but will likely be 20+ years

Misses TG-24 had to work this weekend (working in a nursing home for people with dementia, she has to work every other weekend :().

So the rest of us didn't get to go anywhere and instead just stayed in the backyard, enjoying the nice weather.  Well, me and our little girl that is, our oldest son had to study because his final  exams begin on Monday, and our youngest son... well, he seems to be glued onto his PlayStation controler... ::)

Anyway...

Here's my EDC "backyard style" setup  :D.

Of all the guitars I own this "Little Martin" is the one I use the most, it's so easy and fun to pick up, be it lying in the couch while watching TV, or on a sunny day like today, in the backyard enjoying that spring/summer vibe.  And it just got new strings and some TLC last weekend, so it's ready to go again.

And the Hohner Marine Band harmonica, well, I can't play it that well, but I'm teaching myself bit by bit,  and time flies while I'm playing around with it, so it must be fun, right?

Oh, and here's a pic with a knife in it as well...

(https://i.imgur.com/zGsFXSb.jpeg)

A good old Opinel N°7 Carbon, my favorite knife for peeling an apple, or cleaning some carrots.  It may not have the most prettiest patina, but it is one from real use, so  :).

Thanks for watching, stay safe guys  :salute:.

The top of the guitar is made of one solid piece of Sitka Spruce, and despite its small size, it still has the real "Martin sound".

And yes, the goldfish were very interested...

Hey Huntsman,

I believe there's a topic where you can post multitools you've spotted in films,  TV series, commercials etc...

That being said, we don't have any real rules here, let alone that we're going to tell someone what he or she can or can't post.

To use the words of Axl Rose, "my way, your way, anything goes..."  ;).

And indeed, some great free publicity for Leatherman there, it almost seems like a Leatherman add.

Thank you Eric. If you really end up in Winterthur, let me know! It's my hometown, my birthplace, place of residence, half my relatives live here that's why I love this place. BUT: it is certainly not a tourist highlight when you visit Switzerland. Winterthur has a few famous museums, a nice, large, car-free old town and lots of forest all around. Always in the shadow of the "big" Zurich and IMO missing mountains and a lake.

Indeed spruce! We have some old spruce and fir furniture at home, I like this type of wood. Didn't know it was used for guitars.

Today we had crazy 36°C Watching this guy lounging on his Leahterman deck chair and especially watching the fish swim makes me want to do the same!

So we packed our stuff and drove to the nearby Thur river. My son and I love river swimming. Of course, sausages could not be missing either...

Good parenting, we try, we really try - sometimes better, sometimes worse, like most parents.
But going out into nature, doing physical activity, being offline and keeping yourself busy without consuming a lot, we don't think that's wrong.



But of course we can also simply be part of the consumer society...

Friday to Sunday was Albanifest. One of the largest old town festivals in Europe with dozens of funfair rides, dozens of concerts, hundreds of food stands, bars and party tents. I'm not a fan of big crowds, but I make an exception at my hometown festival! A huge, peaceful party with over 150,000 guests. The police report three temporary arrests, the ambulance report zero! serious injuries and luckily the firefighters only had to fight their thirst.

A few impressions that unfortunately only show part of the festival. After we had visited our personal highlights, the crowd soon became too much for us and we fled the city. It was still on a "relatively quiet" Saturday afternoon. In the evening and at night there are many more people...

Finally found the time to upload some pics from the last month or so...

First some pics from a bike ride Misses TG-24, our little girl and yours truly went on 4 weeks ago.

We tried to use as much gravel/dirt roads as possible to ride to our favorite hiking spot to take a short break there, before we head home again.

Can you spot the multitool in the first pic?

Hey Peter,

Yep, the Signal, the Leatherman that surprised me the most to be honest.  When I saw the first pics of it, I swore I would never buy it.

But when I held it in my hand for the first time,  it was love at first sight, can't explain it...

And yes,  biking over here is pretty straight forward, only two "hills" near our home, both of them only around 45m "high".  I used to ride up and down those hills from every side possible, going up and down 6 or 7 times in one hour, back when I was less heavy and more fit.

For now I'm already happy when I get on my bike, I hope to find my better shape back eventually.

Well, a knife/multi-tool that you fall in love with when you hold it in your hand is one to keep!

It's the same with my condition. Wish the extra weight was just muscle...  :shrug:

But at the moment it's so hot here that we prefer swimming to cycling.

Just catching up again after some time away. Brilliant pics all, as ever. And I'll add my weight to Winterthur being worth a visit. :)

One of the main reasons I've not been around is that, over the last 7 weeks, I've spent more time out of the UK than in it... I'll be sorting the photos out at some point, although there's a distinct lack of SAK/MT pics as I've been on hand luggage only, so security clearance was obviously an issue. However, I did get a SAK themed photo from a new country, so that will be in there. When I get chance to pick out a few for here. :D

Hey Michael,

Welcome back my friend, we all go walkabout from time to time, but we always return here  ;).

Can't wait to see your pics, and you know,  we love to see a SAK in the pic,  but we evenly love scenery pics without a SAK in them.

Thanks chaps, yes it was very hot, always feels hotter in places that aren’t used to it too

I know Eric is following my trip on the SAK forum, thanks mate but here’s a few of the shots from Gloucester yesterday :cheers:

@Michael, nice to read from you.
I too look forward to photos.

@Echotech: Your compact from SurgeUK is too cool!
Thanks for the great pictures. I hope to have time to visit the UK sometime.
Such a beautiful country steeped in history...

Oh, all the beautiful pictures! Bristol looks really cool.
When the town center looks like it did 200 years ago, I love places like Tewkesbury!  :dd:
I don't get around much at the moment, so I enjoy it all the more that you take us with you a little.  :cheers:

In front of my workplace this evening, many reasons to be happy:
1. only 25 °C - that's so pleasantly cool after the last few days
2. A bit of rain - luckily for nature.
3. My new flashlight has arrived (Olight S2R Baton II Lava)
4. My weekend starts right now with these dark chocolate balls.

Skip to June and we had Rimini via Bologna, with a day trip to San Marino - because it'd be silly not to do a new country when it's so close to you! San Marino was also where I'm able to keep the SAK and Multitool link alive...

Hi guys! sorry for my absence I was on vacation with my family and we decided to do digital detox and go offline. It's been very good for us and one lesson I've learned is to never consume free news again. I subscribed to a good newspaper, plus the news on the car radio, that's it!



@ Michael:

You really should have taken the knives at that souvenir stand in San Marino. Such high end stuff is hard to find in the rest of Europe...  ;)

Carcasonne is impressive and very beautiful. I love such places!

You travel a lot, thank you for the many, many great photos and for taking us with you.  :hatsoff:

This morning a driver crashed into my company car from behind. Luckily no one was injured. My vehicle will probably be repaired, the other car doesn't look so good, the insurance company will decide. I hope I don't get any more whiplash, so far I'm fine, only the shock is still in my bones.

Tomorrow my son and I want to go to the mountains for three days. I'll be offline then but hopefully I'll come back with some good photos.

We want to hike to a very easy summit called "Giebel", but mostly not on the hiking trail but on the ridge above where there are only animal trails.

Wow...

I should definitely try to stop by here more often...

First of all, so glad to hear you are okay after your car accident Peter, things like that happen at the blink of an eye but can have long lasting consequences.  I'm so happy you escaped relatively unharmed  :o.

And those pics you posted afterwards are just breathtaking, you know by now how much I love your country, and how sad I am that I haven't been able to visit the mountains (Swiss or Austrian) for some time now.  Daydreaming while looking at your pictures give me the feeling of being there myself, even if it's only for a couple of seconds...

Same goes for your beautiful pics John, though I doubt I will ever get the chance to visit your beautiful country (but never say never I guess  ;)).

Thank you both for sharing those awesome pics here,  really appreciate it my friends  :salute:.

Took advantage of a day off to go for a walk earlier today. Alongside the SAK photos, about 12 months ago I posted some marker stones from a nearby street, which led me to find this info after a couple of you asked;

The other one seems to be a bit of a mystery. However, what I have found is this - "This stone is the milestone which marked the one mile from Preston town centre along the old Liverpool route via Penwortham Old Bridge." If something else I've read is correct, it used to have an info plate which read "Preston 1, Ormskirk 17."

Well, it turns out someone has restored the mileage information plate...

It looks rather good. :tu:

And here's the Swiss Champ in the park.

Hey Michael,

I remember you posting pics of that stone and me asking about its purpose, so I just had to look up that original post of yours (it's on the bottom of page 55, if anyone is interested  ;)).

Very cool that someone restored it  :tu:.

Great pics of the Swisschamp in the park, gotta love the champ.

Thanks for sharing the update on the milestone, and your beautiful pictures here my friend  :salute:.

Stay safe  :cheers:.

@Echotech. Cool neck knife, amazing scenery and a good dog.

Over here days are getting shorter, nights are getting longer, and there are more and more of those dark, grey and gloomy days...

And it's all going so fast all the sudden, it seems like only yesterday we were sweating our *sses of, and now it feels like mid autumn.

Oh I should stop boring everybody with my "old man ramblings" and be thankful for those awesome pics I get to see here.

Thanks for sharing them here mate, really appreciate it  :cheers:.

Eric we’re supposed to be in spring moving to summer and although the weather has been lovely last few days, we’re in for massive storms and floods again with a very wet summer predicted for the third year.
I’m lucky not to be badly affected where I live, but can definitely understand your grumblings! :)

Hey Peter,

As far as I know that is a first in this topic  :D.

My first job back in the late 90's was, among other things, operating the weighbridge at a garbage recycling company.  But it wasn't that huge.

Very original pic,  but probably the first time you post a pic of Switzerland and I don't want to instantly jump in my car to visit that place  :D.

Great pic, thanks for sharing it here my friend  :cheers:.

Thought it was about time I posted something myself again.

I still have some pics from during my summer vacation that I haven't posted (or even processed) yet  ::).

Oh well, I'll start with these next ones. 

They were taken at an old, closed attic at work, and show my most used and carried Victorinox, my Huntsman.

It was the first SAK I bought (a week later I bought an Explorer, and another week later my first Swisschamp, and so on... ::)).

My Huntsman has been in my pocket at work since the day I got it, first at the Hospital for over 10 years, and now almost 3 years at the brewery. It has a lot of scuffs and scars, but they only show from upclose.

The Huntsman is a great SAK. And if you carry it with you for so long, it acquires a special value. These scuffs and scars cannot be bought.  ;)
Beautiful these old wooden barrels. I assume today production is only done in huge stainless steel tanks?

I actually prefer the Explorer over the Huntsman (and the Swisschamp over both of them  ;)), but the Huntsman was my first SAK, and it's been my loyal "work knife"  since the day I got it,  so you're right when you say it aquired a special value  :tu:.

I believe they use stainless steel tanks, I don't get to see that part of the proces, I'm usually where the "dirty" bottles get sorted, or where they get washed, disinfected, filled up and labeled,  the beer gets brewed in a different room.

The barrels on the pic were used to store wine weirdly enough (before I started working there, I assume). On the inside you can see dark red/blue/purple cristals sparkling and you can still smell the wine on the inside.

Hey John,

Beautiful pics mate, such breathtaking views, stunning  :dd:.

And there's that "bra tree" again, you guys have such diverse fauna and flora over there...  :sa:

The Eldris is one of those knives that surprised me after I got one.  I bought it because it looked cute, but once I carried it a couple of times I started to really appreciate it as a capable companion (no pun intended).

Great little knife  :tu:.

Thanks Eric :tu:

I’d not been out there for 6 months and wanted to see how the bush was recovering as it was one of the worst affected areas

The trees all have growth coming straight from the trunk rather than branches making them look kind of fuzzy. Very unusual never seen it before, something to do with the intense heat they endured, but at least they’re mostly alive

The eldris is a great little knife :iagree:

Hello Eric

Sorry for my late reply, I was in the mountains again for a few days - on these rare days I'm always offline.

The Swisschamp is awesome and a legend! My EDC SAKs are at the other end of multifunctionality.  :facepalm:

In my hometown there is a successful young brewery called Doppelleu (Double Lion) and even though I don't drink alcohol I have visited the brewery once. As an ignoramus, I was very surprised at how high-tech everything looked. :o

My wife, our son and I were lucky enough to spend a week in Ticino, the italian-speaking south of Switzerland. An old lady lives there with her dog, hens and goats and rented to us a small cottage next door. Meadow, river, rocks and high, wooded mountains. Haven't seen so few people in a long time. This relaxing time passed far too quickly but we enjoyed it very much.

First view of the nearby river.

Every time I find the time to visit this topic there are these beautiful new pictures here,  you guys know you're spoiling me, right?

Pretty soon I will be all grumpy when I come here and there are no new pics...  :rant:

You know I'm just kidding right?

Anyway...

I see your "beautifully stunning mountain scenery"  and I raise with my "15 minutes waitingroom after you get your second Covid-19 booster vaccin" 😉.

It's a lovely watch Eric, very partial to diver's watches myself 
Hopefully will get out on the weekend and have some pics to share
Unfortunately my landlord is probably going to sell the house I've rented for the last 10 years. It's very hard to get pet friendly places in Sydney and it's very expensive so have to start looking at selling some stuff to make the move easier
Coco is 12 and I'd hoped she'd get to see out her days here, all a bit up in the air but hopefully will all work out

Thanks Sneider it’s forest run off from the Wollemi national park (home of the Wollemi pine, a very ancient tree) near the Blue Mountains

Such insanely beautiful pics, and those sceneries, so diverse but both equally breath-taking...  :sa:.

And just in time as I was just getting more and more grumpy...  ;)

Seriously, I was in need of some distraction from every day troubles.  We've been having car problems with our "youngest" car (5 years old), and since our other car is 13 years old,  we thought that one was going to need replacing first, while the youngest one would be good for another 10 years or so.

Now it seems we will have to replace the youngest car first, which means we will have to hope the oldest car will last quite a bit longer than we first planned...

Oh well,  yet another thing to add to the list of recent misfortunes, it's about time our stroke of bad luck comes to an end...

Anyway, thank you both for the beautiful pictures,  and for keeping this topic going, I really appreciate it a lot.

Stay safe my friends  :salute:.

Oh no, 5 years is still new?! Hope you find a good solution.

Thanks, I'm glad you like the pictures.

The simpsons! I really like it, but I missed the Australia episode  :ahhh
Bringing plants to/from Australia is tricky, I know. Australia's strict customs regulations are well known here. Hence the "just kidding"  ;)

Echotech you're right, the wollemia nobilis is really available now, just googled but I didn't expect that. When I inquired a long time ago they were priceless (for people like me). I'll ask a gardener friend of mine if the ones planted outside have a chance of surviving...

Here in the Swiss underworld (lowlands) the gloomy foggy season has begun. This morning I drove in the fog to my workplace, which is higher up, i.e. mostly above the fog, and was greeted by this sunrise:

Thanks for the support guys, there are worse things than car trouble, but the list of bad luck just  keeps getting longer you know...

Anyway, we went for it and sold our 5 year old Citroën Berlingo (we told the buyer about the problem, he said he bought a lot of cars with that problem, and they all end up abroad, we're regulations aren't as strict as they are over here, in western Europe).

And we bought ourselves a new car (which will arrive around the 3th week of januari).  So until then we'll have to get by with one car and our bicycles...  ::)

And I sure hope our 13 year old Citroën Berlingo will last another 5 to 10 years  :dwts:.

Oh,  and Peter, you should look up that Simpson episode, it's a true classic  :tu:.

Sweet pic edap617, I can always count on you to get some real public pics in here as well  ;).

Now don't you guys stop posting those scenery pics because of what I just said, I like each and every pic that's posted here, just the fact that someone takes the time to take a pic and post it in this humble topic, that's already awesome in my book.

Thank you guys, stay safe  :cheers:.

From last weekend, Coco had a great time and the salt water seems to help her arthritis

Freezing cold yesterday, roads covered in ice...

Misses TG-24 wasn't feeling very well and she hates driving on icy roads (she totalled the first car we bought together, years ago, on an icy road, and since then she hates slippery roads...).

So I suggested to drive here to the supermarket and while waiting in the car I took some pics of my Victorinox Inox Titanium, which just got a battery change a couple of days ago.

Thanks nakken, it was a lovely day here today but has actually been cold (not real cold like you’re talking about but cold for the middle of an Aussie summer) and wet here until today

We’ve had three La Niña weather systems in a row so really severe flooding last few years, this was after seven years of El Niño which meant drought and fires….I think it’s about to switch back. They used to switch roughly every year but has been crazy recently

I’m not sure if you see any Australian news, but when I say severe floods I’m talking biblical stuff….worth a google for perspective if interested…..this came straight after the fires of summer 2019/20 so just crazy. The fires were hundreds of km long…a land of flood and fire!

Well, it's been a while since I've been around... Various life events meant I just got out of the habit of visiting the whole forum. Looking at what I've missed here I need to get back into the habit...

@Michael: Beautiful photos, you have such beautiful, large parks. And the Marker Stone has its plate back. How old might he be?

A very delayed response, but I believe it's from around 1844. It's done well to still be sitting there! There's a lot of work going on down there at the moment, for new flood defences, so I'm hoping it stays as it is.

I've been to both Pakistan for cricket (Islamabad and Rawalpindi) and Antwerp (via Eindhoven, Baarle-Nassau/Hertog and Amsterdam) for football in recent months. No SAKS thanks to travel rules, but I do have some pictures to share when I pick some out to upload. That gives me an excuse to pop back without it being months again, but right now I just wanted to check in. :) Good to see everyone's still here sharing the same beautiful shots. :tu:

About time I post something myself...

Due to various reasons I can't seem to find the time or energy these past months to go out for a trip, or even a short hike close to home.  And if I eventually do, I find myself taking only a sporadic pic, and by the time I get round to uploading that pic, weeks have passed...

Anyway, here's a pic from my Evo28 (next to my trusty Swisschamp my favorite SAK) that was taken during a hike near the Averbode Abbey (http://), last October.

And here's a pic I took during a short and cold hike near our home, yesterday.

It shows the Christmas gift I got from my wife and kids, another version of the Victorinox Airboss Automatic.

Actually, I found this one myself at an online  watchshop, brand-new, at a -35% discount, and the Misses and kids got the hint  ;).

I immediately switched the original brown leather strap it came on for this black/green Bond NATO one, and it looks great in my humble opinion.

Good to hear from you Eric and very much enjoying your pictures :tu:

Coco hasn’t been well so on top of the arthritis she has heart disease poor old girl.
As she probably won’t be around too much longer (I’m hoping 6 months but that might be wishful thinking), I’m trying to give her lots of fun this year

Unfortunately I have very bad back problems, 5 bulging discs and arthritis causing me to be in constant pain so it’s been a bit of a tough start to the year tbh

I'm so sorry to hear about you and Coco my friend, I hope you two can share as many beautiful moments as possible in the time you have left together.

As a former dog owner myself it breaks my heart reading you and your loyal friend are entering that moment in time which every dog owner fears...

And I'm also sorry to hear about your condition, that sounds very painful indeed. We have to face it I guess, we're not getting any younger, that's for sure.

It's hard to comfort someone in a language that is not your own, but know that you can always send me a PM if you need a chat.

Take care, stay safe, and know we will be sending positive thoughts, all the way to beautiful Australia.

Greetings from Belgium,

Eric

I hope Peter (Sneider) is okay, since he hasn't been here for some time as well, it seems.

I had back surgery on Friday (microdiscectomy) and so am currently at home recovering. It went well and although feeling a bit fragile and sore not too bad. Unfortunately won’t be getting out much for a month or so, I’ll post a couple of mountain pics from a week ago below

Have a fantastic holiday in Austria mate, sounds lovely

Especially for you John, since you're stuck at home recovering from surgery, finally some pics of my own  ;).

These were taken a couple of weeks ago, during a hike not so far from where I live (only 30min or so by car).

It's a hike around the Abbey of Averbode (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Averbode_Abbey).

Hope you enjoy:

Hi Eric good to hear from you mate :tu:

I’ve been very quiet these last few months as had back surgery in may so haven’t been out, although last weekend did get out a little, a few photos below

Coco’s arthritis has become very bad and she’s struggling to walk much of the time so trying to give her as much fun as I can while she can still enjoy it

:cheers:

Hello my friends,

It's been a while since I posted something here, IT seems as if I just don't find the time to go out and  take pics these days, and if at last I do, I don't find the time to post them...  ::)

But on 3 October, I had an accident at work, got my hand stuck between a beer crate and a piece of machinery, and since the beer crates kept coming, the pressure build up for 20 seconds or so until I found the emergency killswitch.

Anyway, x-rays were taken and there was no fracture, but my middle finger and ring finger doubled in size...

So, I'm stuck at home to recover, and today an old colleague of mine invited me to go on a hike, and it was about time I got outside again.

Anyway, enough about me.

I recently replaced the leather strap on my Victorinox Inox Titanium with a NATO one, put on the protective case that came with the watch, and was surprised by how "outdoorsy" the watch looked, here are some pics I took during my hike today.

Great to hear from you Eric, I like NATO watch bands and have them (or something similar) on all my watches, looks great

Sorry to hear about your hand that’s sounds nasty, hope it heals quickly

I’m still not going anywhere to take pictures unfortunately but will post when I do

Here’s some from my yard instead

Hey John,

Thank you for sharing those beautiful pics my friend, I said it before and I'll say it again, you live in such an amazingly beautiful country, and every pic you post here is an artwork.

I'm assuming it's spring over there, correct?  Something that baffles me each time I think about it, you guys have Christmas in summer, right? But I read somewhere that there's also a bit of Christmas in July to enjoy the Christmas feeling in winter supposably (but probably for commercial purposes as well  ;)).

Anyway, I hope you're doing well my friend, and I hope Coco is doing well also.   Thanks for sharing your beautiful pics here, we enjoy them every time (I say we, because I always show them to the entire family).

Stay safe my friend  :salute:.

Thanks Eric :tu:

Yes it’s spring and warming up quickly, looks like we’re in for a long hot dry summer this year, after a few wet years

Christmas in the blazing sun is completely normal here of course, we tend to eat seafood and cold cuts but still manage a turkey with all the trimmings too. Lots of people go to the beach and parks

We have fake snow and reindeer decorations too but also lots of kangaroos and koalas in Santa hats :rofl:

In the mountains they do indeed celebrate Christmas in July although it’s not that big a thing elsewhere, fun though

Look after yourself mate

:Cheers:

John

And the pics you just posted are beautiful, the colour of the mushroom versus the colour of the knife handle, the sky in the second pic... All beautiful if you ask me  :tu:

And having a friend visiting this topic again after he's been away for quite some time... very special in my book.

These pics were taken yesterday, on the dashboard of our car. I love my Victorinox watches, and this Titanium Pro Diver is the one I bought last, so it gets some extra wrist time.

I will try to post more pics here again, I still have some from this year's summer vacation, and even from last year's vacation  :-[.

In the past, I used to take lots of multitool/SAK pics while on vacation, or even on a hike, but those days have passed. But I still take an occasional SAK Pic, from time to time.

Hey Eric, I agree with John, this Titanium Pro Diver looks very nice!

Yes, the gloomy days are back. It doesn't bother me at the moment, the summer was very long and warm by Swiss standards.
It usually starts to depress me at the end of January until spring finally comes.

I also have SAK pics from previous trips, I don't even know what I've posted and what not... :facepalm:


Hey John, very nice! I definitely wouldn’t have guessed that it was in the suburbs! :o
Your beautiful pictures are a nice contrast to the gray, rainy days here in middle Europe, where the vegetation loses its green and the sun doesn't show up for days

Hey guys,

Thanks for the comments on the Vic Diver, I love watches and when I can get them at a great price it's just extra nice, got this Vic Diver at a -50% discount at the local jewelry store, 1 kilometer from my home.

I've bought more watches than tools the past 2 years, when one addiction gets better, another gets worse I guess  :D.

Beautiful pics John, I would've never guessed those were "suburbs" pics (just did some Google earth visiting  ;)).

Thanks for sharing your pics here guys, always a pleasure  :salute:.

Rainy walk to the nearby viewpoint over my city.

The good side of bad weather is; it has no people. On nice summer evenings, the wall, the benches and the lawns are full of people.

Hey Peter,

That kind of weather looks very familiar for some reason...  :think:

But you are right, there are also some advantages with these rainy days, like you said, lots of people choose to stay indoors,  so more peace and quiet for people like us  ;).

Still, stunning pics, even with the dark clouds.  And I must confess that I'd never heard of this Civivi Foldis brand, but that looks like an awesome knife (just googled them and they have some beautiful knives in their line up  :o).

Thanks for sharing your pics here my friend, stay safe  :salute:.

Thank you guys.

I walked for over two hours and only met two old ladies, a jogger and three deer.
On the edge of a city of 120,000 inhabitants. Most people seem very afraid of the weather.

The quality/price ratio of Civivi is (IMO) really good.


Today I was at a flea market again, saw a lot of knives and had some nice conversations with other collectors.
For me I only bought these two bargains with Victoria stamps.

Same situation here, in less than a month nature has become abandoned, and even though I don't go out as much as I do in summer, but I enjoy every minute of it.

And I would love to visit some of those Swiss flea-markets, the chance of finding something awesome most be so much bigger as it is on flea markets over here  :-[.

Hey Eric,
I would still like to browse through a Belgian flea market or a farmer's market, craft market, etc., I love the atmosphere at markets that are not tourist-oriented. The flea market culture is quite strong here, with maybe 20 flea markets every weekend. How are your flea markets?

Oh yes, I also enjoy every minute in nature, but today I didn't go into nature but simply into the center of my humble, small hometown where the Christmas lights were recently put up. We like the mood with all the yellow lights and strolling through Winterthur's old town.

Take care and have a good time,
Peter

Beautiful pics Peter, the Swiss... even their Christmas lights rule... :dd:

Thanks for sharing your pics here my friend, I really appreciate it  :salute:.

As for flea markets over here, there's one quite famous in the next village, that's the weekly flea market of the town Heist-op-den-Berg, which means Heist on the mountain, mountain being a bit of an exaggeration since it refers to a small 45m "high" hill in the otherwise flat environment, on which they build a church, and around it the town.

There are a couple of weekly flea markets in my region, but the chance of finding something interesting there is very small... sadly enough  :-\.
Title: Re: SAKs in public places (or other multitools)
Post by: Sneider on December 03, 2023, 11:48:41 PM
Thank you guys.
Heist looks pretty - I googled it. There are no weekly flea markets here. A large, very well attended flea market here is monthly but most flea markets - especially the good ones - are only once to four times a year. The quality and level of the markets here varies greatly. There are some where dealers and collectors meet and some where there is hardly anything that anyone will buy.

It started snowing here on Friday - that alone is pretty rare in my area. Today, Sunday, was even sunny. Snow, sun and blue sky - that's something that only happens every few years in Winterthur. We enjoyed it, walked a lot through the forest, went sledding with our son and of course enjoyed the view from our nearby hill.

I'm normally not much of a Christmas/New Year person (I have some "not so happy" memories from during this period a long time ago), but Christmas in Switzerland... that's something else...  :o

Love the little snowman pic , and it's also great to see that viewpoint over your city in different seasons  :tu:.

Thanks Eric.

Sad to hear there are so many people struggling with the Christmas season.
When I met my wife I was warmly welcomed into her family. There I learned what a happy Christmas feels like. I have made peace with the Christmas season and I want our son to have better memories.

The snow is gone here again. A week of constant rain. Rain on snow is really my least favorite weather, but whatever.


Today I was in nearby Zurich to look at a watch that I fell in love with... :ahhh

Hey Peter,

Back in '96 I had a serious motorcycle accident a week before Christmas, spend two days and nights in intensive care and one or two days in a regular hospital bed before I got to go home.

And it was that Christmas that I learned who I could count on, and who was just there to enjoy the good times.  Spend the holidays lying in the couch with nobody around except my future wife.

Anyway, I enjoy spending these days being with my Misses and our children now, but the other obligatory stuff with relatives and friends I don't enjoy...

Anyway, enough of me killing the Christmas vibe...  :surrender:.

You said something about a watch...?  :pok:

Almost forgot,

I went on a hike two weeks ago with an old colleague who is now retired, and I took some pics of the frozen landscape, with the sun trying its best to break through the fog (but it did not succeed, sadly enough).

It did create this magical atmosphere, wondering through the empty woods, we only encountered 2 or 3 other people during the entire hike, which made it even more special.

Hello Eric

In really difficult times you recognize true friends...
I had that experience too. My wife, one good friend... there weren't much else.
But a lot of rats left the "sinking ship".

Seems we both have very good wives, cheers to them!

Big Christmas celebrations with all the relatives have been canceled for years. But I really enjoy the time with my few loved ones.

Thanks for this beautiful series of pictures, what a mystical atmosphere! I like atmospheres like this, but as a constant state it is too much for me.
Your Inox Titanium simply looks indestructible!

Yes, the desire is growing in me for the first time for a high quality watch. But the minimalist style from the 60s, which I really like, seems to be pretty outdated. Then it has to be swiss made with a proven automatic movement and at the lower end of the price range...not easy. But I have time, even if I don't have a watch.  ;)

Our lives seem to run on similar paths my friend  :salute:.

Can't wait to see which watch you're going to pick, always an exciting moment  :tu:.

Like I said, my love for watches flared up again about two years ago (after being dormant for several years...), and the fact that there's not much new or exciting happening when it comes to multitools/SAKs also played along.

The Inox Titanium went from being a casual, semi-dressed watch on the original brown leather strap to a true, rugged outdoors watch on the Nato strap and with the case protector, and I'm loving it.

But both my Vic Airboss watches also have a special place in my heart, a Swiss Made Aviator with an automatic movement and the logo of the Swiss Airforce on it, could it be any better...  :dd:.

Anyway, can't wait to see your new watch, enjoy that time you spend on searching and deciding which one you're going to buy, the search is half the fun of buying something new, right  ;).

Stay safe my friend  :salute:.

What absolutely stunning pics guys….it’s very hot here being summer of course, I feel cooler just looking at those lovely snowy and misty scenes  :like:

I’ve been a bit flat out with work the last few weeks but get 2 weeks off for Christmas….one more week to go :woohoo: :)

Hey Eric. I'm a newbie when it comes to watches. In my entire life I have had three digital Casios, all under €/CHF 30.-  :facepalm:

Victorinox watches are very underrated, a lot of quality for the price.
And Eric, your Airboss automatic looks great and is a style icon!
The strap has a huge impact on the look of a watch, I didn't realize that for a long time.

I've read up on the topic of watches over the last few weeks  :think:
visited all the watch shops in Winterthur and some in Zurich, looked at the collections of all the "affordable" Swiss manufacturers and now know exactly what type of watch I want

-Swiss made
-proven automatic movement
-flat case
-domed sapphire crystal
-minimalist 60s design with sunburst dial in a warm color
-preferably without a second hand
-date window at 6 or without.

That limits the choice quite a bit.
I'm watching the prices now, maybe they'll go down a bit in January.

@Echotech: Thank you.

Very nice, John. Sun, warmth, beach and sea... that's what many here in Europe dream of.   :dd:
And chill out and hang out a bit - Coco shows us how it's done!

Here in the Swiss lowlands it is cloudy, rainy and windy at just under 10°C.
A little walk today through the forest to a pond - definitely less busy than the beach near you.   ;)

Great pics guys  :like:.

I'm sorry to say I don't have such beautiful pics to post here, but I can post a pic of one of the two  Christmas presents Misses TG-24 and the kids gave me...

Here it is, one of the best value for your money, real certified dive watches one can buy in my opinion, the Citizen Pro Master Eco Drive.

(https://i.imgur.com/bK60qUh.jpeg)

I love my automatic watches, but nothing beats a solar powered quartz watch for those grab and go situations  :).

The second present I got is still on the way, I'll post pics of it when it arrives  ;).

Hello Eric.
Your new watch looks great and really solid. What a lovely gift from your family.   :like:
Solar powered is fascinating. Will you also use the watch for diving?

I'm curious what the second present could be...  :popcorn:

My Casio W720, which accompanied me for so long, died and all attempts to revive it failed.
I want a digital Casio again, I've also looked at solar-powered G-Shocks, great watches, but they're too bulky for me.
Now a very simple one is on its way to me. Should arrive soon. Currently I don't even have a single watch.  :cry:

Thanks mate, the Citizen was on my wanted list for a while, and now that I've got one, I don't know why I waited so long to get one.  At 190 Euro it has an awesome value for the money in my opinion, and the quartz movement is really accurate, it's only off by a couple of seconds a month.

And no diving for me, I'm not even that much of a swimmer to he honest... But I like the ruggedness of a dive watch, and I do get my watches wet once in a while, like when we're building a dam in a small creek during a hike, or on vacation  ;).

You know, Casio does have some smaller solar powered G-Shocks as well, both my boys have a small, solar powered and radio controlled G-Shock.  My youngest son has a Casio GW-M5610U-1ER  (https://www.casio.com/nl/watches/gshock/product.GW-M5610U-1/), and the oldest one has a Casio AWG-M100SB-2A (https://www.casio.com/nl/watches/gshock/product.AWG-M100SB-2A/), both are awesome watches, care free, and quite small.

No watch at the moment you say?  I would go nuts... :ahhh     :D

Make sure to post some pics when your new watch arrives, I'll do the same when my second present arrives  ;).

Stay safe my friend  :salute:.

40 years...  :o

They are great watches, and they offer a lot of value for what they cost, that's for sure.

I knew you owned a Citizen Pro Diver with a green bezel and dial, I remember you got that one around the time that I bought my green waffle dial Seiko King Turtle.

And like I said above, I don't take them diving but I do find it somehow reassuring to know they can handle it, so any "water challenge" I come across during a hike or something shouldn't be a problem.

Stay safe my friend  :salute:.

Hello Eric, thanks for the links. I actually took a closer look at the Casio GW-M5610U-1, a legendary watch! But more than 10mm is just too bulky for my preference. Solar powered would be nice, but compactness is more important to me.
Title: Re: SAKs in public places (or other multitools)
Post by: Sneider on January 16, 2024, 09:15:13 PM
Arrived today, the first watch I bought this century!  :mail:
I'm not really a watch guy (yet). But since I was a child, I've always had a cheap Casio.
My third and last one stopped working recently (Just while I was looking for my first high-quality watch ever)
and I just wanted a cheap, small, flat, retro Casio again.

Model W-59, almost identical to the legendary F-91-W (best-selling watch in the world), but a bit more waterresist.
(https://up.picr.de/46945894eu.jpeg)

And the choice for my future luxury watch is almost decided, I'm just waiting and hoping that the price will move a bit... :ahhh
Title: Re: SAKs in public places (or other multitools)
Post by: Echotech on January 16, 2024, 09:31:12 PM
Thanks Eric and Peter

I’ve actually had the pro since 91 so 30 years rather than 40, but a good while.

I used to dive a lot and the built in dive computer, the first watch to have one, was very useful

I’m not sure the newer versions are quite as rugged, mine has taken plenty of bashes against the rocks and has a few dents, character like you say Peter

Totally understand your love of the Casio’s, I’m like that with things too. Look forward to seeing your new “posh” watch when you get it :popcorn:

:cheers:

Post by: Top-Gear-24 on January 16, 2024, 09:37:27 PM
That's a nice old school Casio you got there Peter, you can clearly see that it's a descendant from the F91, awesome  :tu:.

I thought the GW-M5610U-1 was already quite thin, with its 12,7mm thickness, but I guess everything feels thin when you own two GWG-1000 Mudmasters, with 18mm thickness  :rofl:..

Anyway, glad you got a new EDC watch you like, can't wait to see what luxury watch you picked, hope you find a good deal on it soon  :tu:.

My second present should arrive tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow... I hope  :dwts:.
Title: Re: SAKs in public places (or other multitools)
Post by: Sneider on January 16, 2024, 10:02:28 PM
Thank you both!  :cheers:

Eric, I read somewhere that my W-59 has been in production longer than the F91 - but I don't know if it's true, it doesn't matter.
Wow, 18mm! Not even our wall clock is that massive! (just teasing  ;))  In the last few weeks I've delved into the topic of watches quite a bit and realized that I'm pretty much alone in my preference for small, thin, simple watches.  :shrug:


Oh, and almost forgot. Today for the first time it wasn't completely dark when I finished my work. The days are sloooowly getting longer again  :)

Winter and summer vibes at the same time, how awesome it is to have friends from all over the world  :tu:.

I must say the contrast on Peter's pictures is also huge, one completely white, and only 2 days later, everything green  :o.

Love the purple 2016 Alox colour, I have two Pioneers like that, one for me, and the other for my youngest one, since she was born in 2016.

I bought 2005 and 2006 Soldiers for my boys, but in 2016 they didn't have any Alox soldiers anymore, and finding the green 111mm soldier with a 16 stamp has turned out to be quite difficult, so I went for the 2016 limited edition as birth year SAK for my little girl, and the 2016 colour was perfect, she loves it (but I'm still keeping my eyes open for a 2016 Soldier  ::)).

My second gift has arrived, hopefully I get the chance to take some pics of it soon.

Thanks for your beautiful pictures my friends, stay safe  :salute:.

Beautiful pictures Peter, love the colours, especially that last one  :o.

And finally, here are some pics of my second Christmas gift, my apologies for keeping you waiting.

I already own a green dial Seiko King Turtle on the rubber strap for two years or so, and I love this watch so much that I couldn't resist when I found a Black dial version on the metal bracelet at a nice discount.

The site I bought it from is from a Dutch guy who modds Seiko watches, and I already bought my modded SKX from him, this King Turtle was the regular production model, but he did offer the option to switch out the flat sapphire (with cyclops magnifier for day/date) for another sapphire, so I went for a double dome sapphire on this one.

I really love the King Turtle, here it is, with all the protection stickers still on the bracelet and the back of the watch.

Post by: Top-Gear-24 on January 22, 2024, 09:29:18 PM
I also got a ratchet clasp with the watch, I switched it out with the original but I'm not sure which one I like most.

The standard clasp has the double locking mechanism, but it is stamped steel, and it can't be adjusted on the go for those days when your wrist expands a bit and the watch gets too tight.

(https://i.imgur.com/pqb7BcR.jpeg)

(https://i.imgur.com/1R62y6Z.jpeg)


And then there's this one, single locking mechanism, milled, and it has a ratchet mechanism so you can make the bracelet larger in two millimeter steps.  But it doesn't feel as nice and comfortable as the standard one.

(https://i.imgur.com/vMZe0cx.jpeg)

(https://i.imgur.com/1xqJX3Q.jpeg)

(https://i.imgur.com/XwL51lL.jpeg)

I put on the second one when I got the watch, but then switched back to the original and I'm going to test that one first, see if I really need the ratchet thingy.

Hello Eric. Your new Seiko looks great!  The dial reminds me a bit of Alox.  :dd:
I have often read that Seiko offers a lot of quality for the money.

Try out the clasps for a while, you will feel which one is right for you.
I would proably prefer the standard clasp, it seems more elegant and comfortable, but that's just my unqualified assessment from afar.

I know the problem when taking photos with poor lighting, no daylight when at home...  :dunno:


I was surprised myself that the last photo turned out well against the light.
It's crazy how things have been blooming here since Christmas, disappearing under the snow and emerging again several times.

There was once a model called No. 74 that was available with various handle scales, but never with Alox.

Scissors of this narrow 84mm size are extremely rare. And if you find something, you restore the knife as a rare collector's item. I was lucky enough to find one where the scissors were still intact, but there was hardly anything else left to restore because the plastic scales had reacted with the nickel silver plates.

Hey Peter,

What a restoration  :o.  It always pleases me to see an old, broken knife being restored like that, awesome job.  The G and K on the spring, are those to remember which blade was on which side (groß / klein)?  I'm just guessing here...  ;).

Beautiful picture my friend, that looks like my kind of walk  ;), thanks for sharing your pic here, stay safe  :salute:.

Here's a pic of my Citizen Eco-Drive Diver, taken after I dropped the little one of at school.

I really love my Victorinox and Seiko watches, but this one offers a lot of watch for a small budget (just like some of my "cheaper" G-Shocks).

It's the perfect EDC watch, cheap enough not to overly worry about it, durable, accurate and still having a classic Diver look.

Uh, bit late reply... sorry. 😬

@AzteC: The red one is almost new, a lucky find. Someone has restored the two with horn shells so well that they are more perfect than when they were fresh from the factory.

@Eric: Exactly! Grosse und kleine Klinge. Just to be on the safe side...
Have you already figured out which strap you prefer on your Seiko?

Recently I was in Tübingen, a pretty little German town.
There I discovered a small, very public place... well the older ones probably still know what it is...
Seems to be used extensively...  :D

Real "I am legend" vibe, that pay phone, awesome pic (and a well camouflaged knife as well  ;)).

Thanks for sharing it here my friend  :salute:.

At the moment I went for the standard clasp on my new Seiko, it just looks more "well balanced" with the rest of the watch and bracelet, and feels more comfortable with the rounded edges.

The other clasp is a bit too square and bulky, but if the swelling of my wrist turns out to be a problem, it's nice to know that I can always put that one on  and adjust the strapsize on the go with the ratchet thingy.

I didn't had a cell phone for the first 21 years of my life - how did I survive that?!  :ahhh ...Well, looking back pretty good   :think:

I remember those pay phones very well, for 60 Rappen (swiss centimes) you could make a 30 second phone call. As a child, I really regretted that
and rather run home than spend my money on a few words call.

Good choice Eric. The watch band is so important and changing options are a good thing.
I have already ordered a watch strap for a watch that I haven't even bought yet...  :ahhh

Beautiful pic of an awesome SAK AzteCypher, thank you for sharing it here.

Those Alox Soldiers/Pioneers offer so much tool in such a small and discreet size, and they also make such a nice gift.

I own birth year Soldiers for each member of my family, a '77 for me, '78 for the Misses, '05 for our oldest son, '06 for our youngest son, and a purple 2016 Limited Edition Pioneer for our little girl (since they no longer issued the Alox soldiers to the Swiss troops back in '16).

Anyway, enough of my rambling, thanks for the, beautiful pic, and just so you know, you can also post scenery shots without a tool or SAK on them.

Is that small piece of branch the sheath or just something you were carving on?
Title: Re: SAKs in public places (or other multitools)
Post by: Sneider on February 11, 2024, 06:31:24 PM
Thanks John. 
Well, I bought the blank blade already hardened and with a very rough finish. I wet sanded it from Scandi to Convex, rounded the back bit more to  drop point, made the handle scales out of robinia wood and glued all together with brass pins. Absolutely simple knife, but every time I pick it up and do something, it just feels right.


@ AzteYypher: Just a fiddling quirk of mine.
 I take a piece of branch and carve it down artlessly.

Today it happened!  :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh
I saw my watch in a store with almost 50% discount. I've been waiting for this for a long time!
The brand has a railway past, so why not a pic of the railway bridge on my way home.

Thank you all. I have pure joy in my new Hamilton!
My attempts to take a nice photo of it just failed. Pretty tricky with the reflections in a room with a ceiling light. I'll try it on the weekend when I'm home in daylight.

As a distraction, a pic with a daily dose of fresh raw milk from the farmer next door. Like most of my usual surroundings on the outskirts of my hometown Winterthur.

So gentlemen, my new watch, the first and perhaps only mechanical watch in my life.  :ahhh

I've known for about two months that I would buy exactly this one. Of all the watches that match my criteria, this is the one I like best!  :dd:
The dealer is an official Hamilton representative with its own watchmaker. The first revision is already planned for February 2023  :ahhh  :facepalm:

I still have to find the optimal strap for me, something is on the way.
Really tried to take nice pictures, but somehow I didn't really succeed.
I couldn't capture the play of light on the sunburst dial and all the reflections in the domed crystal almost drove me crazy...  :poh:
no matter, here she is:  :dd:

What a stunning timepiece you have there my friend, that's a true classic beauty  :o.

Congratulations on finding the watch you wanted, and the fact that you got a good deal on it makes it even more special.

I know how hard it can be to catch the beauty of a watch in a pic, everything has to fall into place, the right light, the right angle,...  I've taken hundreds of pictures of my watches and deleted hundreds as well  ;).

It's a real beauty my friend, a timeless design.  I think it shares a bit of DNA with my Victorinox Airboss, big and very readable dial, date window on the 6 position (which is always a bit more fancy as on the 3 or 4 position, in my humble opinion).  But it is more dressy, where the Airboss has more of a fieldwatch vibe.

I think it looks awesome  :like:.

And I could spend hours just watching the movement doing its thing, how I love mechanical watches...

Thank you, AzteCypher  :hatsoff:

Thanks for the true words, Eric!  :hatsoff:
Yes, there really are some parallels to your nice Airboss.  :cheers: Victorinox uses Sellita movements, right? Mine has an ETA. Both movements have proven themselves over a long time and often, any watchmaker can revise them, get spare parts and, if necessary, the entire movement inexpensively. That was important to me.
I always wonder why the date is so rarely at 6 o'clock, the dial looks more symmetrical which just looks more harmonious (for me)

Yes, it's a classic dress watch, but I don't care. As long as diving watches can be worn without a diving suit  ;) and pilot's watches without a pilot's license  ;), I feel free to wear my dress watch for walks in the forest, flea market tours, mountain hikes, playing with Lego and whatever. :D
This will just be my free time watch.  :)

Thank you too, John.  :hatsoff:
Title: Re: SAKs in public places (or other multitools)
Post by: Top-Gear-24 on February 20, 2024, 06:11:59 PM
Well, my Airboss with the blue dial has a Sellita movement, while the one with the black dial has an ETA movement  :).

Victorinox used ETA first, but then switched to Sellita if what I heard was true.  It doesn't make much difference, they are actually as good as identical.  The Sellita has one more jewel, but it's located in a place where having a jewel or not doesn't really make a difference.  And although both movements are identical, most of their components are not interchangeable.

It wasn't my intention to offend when I said it was more dressy, I like dress watches, but I'm quite a big and heavy person (194cm, 128 kg...  :-[) and a fine dress watch just looks awkward on me, I need something a bit more rugged (it might just be in my head  ::)).

And you're right, a dress watch can surely be used for hiking, flea market tours and Lego playing  ;).
I have several Divers and not only do I not own a dive suit, I'm not even that great of a swimmer.  And pilot watches, while I like flying, I can get airsick very quickly in turbulent weather.  In my defence, I've only flown in small Cesna like planes, since I'm very hesitant to get on an 8 hour flight knowing I get airsick so easily (most people tell me that flying in a 747 is way smoother as in a Cesna, but last Cesna flight I was on only lasted an hour, and I was so happy to be on solid ground again, I can only imagine what 8 hours of that must feel like...  :ahhh).

Post by: Sneider on February 20, 2024, 10:36:50 PM
Hello Eric

I read somewhere that manufacturers sometimes switch between Sellita and ETA and - as you say - the differences are insignificant.

Eric, I didn't take that as an insult! I feel completely comfortable in the role of ignoring the trends. In the last few months I have been to almost all the watch shops in my region, some have thousands of watches on display - and hardly a dress watch. The divers, pilots and racing watches seem to be extremely popular at the moment - rightly so - great masterpieces with many functions. The trend is also clear in the watch forums. What I've noticed again and again is the common opinion that you can wear a diver, pilot, or racing watch practically any time, but a dress watch with a men's suit - I find that funny. But like I said, I don't care. Minimalism, reduction to the most essential is quite often my style, that's just me. Everyone the way they like it. Others enjoy their Swisschamp, I enjoy my one-layer SAK.  :)

In my opinion, the most important argument for wearing a watch these days is not the necessity but rather the enjoyment the wearer gets from it. That's the only thing that counts. How dare I seriously judge other people's tastes? That's not my place, but a little bit of fun and teasing is okay.  ;)

The fact that I now enjoy an old-fashioned grandpa clock the most is almost certainly only in my head and I even know how that came about because I have a childhood memory that has completely triggered me ever since:

My grandfather was a big, strong man. He had a 36mm Omega (back then a common men's size), which is now with my father and looks quite similar to my Hamilton. Once, I was maybe 5 and my grandfather wanted me to read the time on his watch. I failed and asked plaintively why his watch didn't even have numbers. I can still hear his answer in the broadest Swiss German to this day: "Wäme chli eltär isch, weiss me da eifach, da bruuchts kei Zahle!" When you're a little older, you just know that, no numbers are needed!
I can't get that out of my head every time I see a clock with numbers...
 :doh:  :surrender:


Although I don't have a problem with flying, I've only been on a larger plane twice. Zurich Berlin and back. As a child, I flew a few times with my father in a small aircraft (like a Cessna) in the Swiss Alps, and once we landed on a glacier. My father wanted to make me happy but I was more afraid than happy. When we are on holiday in Croatia we sometimes fly to the coast in a Cessna in the evening sun, just 20 or 30 minutes. We love it! Always the same Cessna and the same pilot. The plane is ancient and the pilot is at least three times as old. We always joke: "If he wasn't a good pilot, he wouldn't have lived to be so old" Oh, I miss the sea...
