I,ve started edc,ing it at work, and so far its been great!

i,ve really appreciated the smaller package and the lighter weight and the same great selection of tools.

although in truth i,ve hardly used the blade yet

I lost my Silver Alox Farmer. I'm seriously upset about that. I need to get another one.

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #17 on:** May 23, 2007, 06:55:02 PM

I traded mine away. Then I made another trade for another one...

Farmers are great because everyone wants one! Pretty easy to trade them away... I know, I don't thik I've had one for more than a month or two!

Let me know if you want mine... I'm certain we can work something out!

I,d be upset if i lost any of my farmers too, you need to by a spare next time and a back up to that one too

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #20 on:** May 23, 2007, 07:37:36 PM

My SAK habit will probably last longer than my oxygen habit...

Especially if my wife finds out how much I spent on that Charge!

Looks like some of you guys do have great mail days. Unfortunately, I don't have anything on the way now (well except for the Lumberjacks that +B is doing).

Congrats on the great stuff MickyD, Def and others.

Def, what is that bottom knife in your picture with the red handle, and what does that slidey switch on it do? Lock the blade? Lock open and lock closed?

its a 111mm sak, and yeah the slidey thing locks it open

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #25 on:** May 25, 2007, 12:14:27 PM

That is the 111mm Victorinox Rucksack, which is a larger version of the more common 91mm Camper that you can see here:

http://www.sosakonline.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=167&Itemid=35

The Rucksack is of course missing the small blade but other than that it's a bigger version of the Camper. That grey button is Victorinox's slide lock which only holds the blade open. 16kg of pressure from the backspring holds it closed!

I have another picture to share- the mailman was good to me yesterday too... I'll post it as soon as I get it out of the camera!

I am hoping something really special will show up today! I'm waiting (and desperate!) for a new iPaq to arrive and I don't want to have to wait till next week.
