I just found something out that sort of surprised me somewhat.

I seem to be somewhat addicted to military SAKs.

I was going through the fold when I noted that I had more old and new soldiers then I had first thought. I didn't plan it this way, at least not consciously.  :think:

I forgot to add the 108mm GAK, but I think you will get the idea. It gets worse than this though....



After much soul searching and much grumping, I bought a Victorinox Jubilee Soldier a little while back. I haven't received it yet, but I am dying to get it. Earlier today, I noticed a Wenger Heritage knife on eBay...and yes...I bought that one also. I have no clue what the differences are between them other then the Wenger is a more limited knife. But that is all I know.

Expect plenty of photographs and comparisons between these two soldiers if and when I get them.

Just thinking at how some collections take unexpected detours.

I`m looking for Victorinox Military knives too, especially those from different countries.

Wow, you have an OSCE knife?  I have one, and I've never seen another one!

Back to the original post, this is how I started collecting OHT variants.... I realized one day I had 6 or 7 variants, which grew into 15 or so today!

Leave the dents as they are- let your belongings show their scars as proudly as you do yours.

Hello Grant,

I saw your OSCE-knife in your report. Yours and mine are the only ones I`ve seen so far. I don`t know how many of them were made.

The ones from Luxemburg and Malaysia (the two in the middle row, right) are very hard to find. The Luxemburg knife is very rare compared to other official Soldier knives.
