Just for Sazabi...

Every time I see that, I have this overwhelming urge to eat beans.

It could be worse, everytime I see that I do eat beans

So what would that be classified as, an advertising Cadet II?    Thank you for the pictures, Neil. ^^

Sounds as good a description as any.

Some more old red alox to drool over. I finally found a Victoria tang stamped Pioneer with the old style Awl and cut out alox scales to match. I noticed the partially hollow rear rivet for a bail. The hole does not go very deep into the rivet. I have never seen one quite like this.

I wonder if it was drilled thirty party in order to attach a bail?  Though looking at it the head appears to be larger than the others or is that a trick of the camera angle?

Finally got some Purple Alox knives from SwissBianco. Lovely!

Sometimes old pocket worn alox looks great. This old red alox Pioneer still has plenty of life. There is just something about the look of a well used alox Pioneer.

Damn

I'll play

    Yup... worn Alox looks much better than worn Cellidor.

I think that is a factory rivet. I recall someone cut the bail off a perfectly good NIB Woodsman (? - blade and saw only) to reveal a rivet like that. Victorinox must have found it easier to use a hollow rivet.

I think I vaguely remember that post over on SOSAK and a lot of people doing something like this 

Here's some more worn red...

(I have to get better at taking SAK pictures... )

Here it is at the ElectroGolfer's American Debut:




And with a few of its friends, including an older red Pioneer with a 78 blade

Its all warm and cozy like a pair of good jeans that you have near worn out the knees and such.

I also noticed mine has a really smooth feel to it since it is so pocket worn.

So many great pictures of great, beautiful knifes 

I have to get such a beauty one day 

[ufox9al]

Farmer and Pioneer from my EDC rotation.

[Neil]

Nice to see this thread get going again

More reused old scales...

[Mr. Whippy]

Neil, did you put that hollow rivet in?  Very impressive.

[Neil]

Yep, thanks   Still a bit of an experimental feature but so far they are holding up well..



Back on with the worn red ...



... and drunk bees

[Mr. Whippy]

All the relatives showing their similarities and differences.
