got a nice little 84mm climber, BNIB, though the scales are a little scratched from the box I think

comparison with 91mm

Yes

Thanks.

Is that in the handwerker series Wayne?

Can't tell. The scales are more rough and I have never seen a HandWerker knife with this type of blades. It is not on the leaflet with Handwerker models listed.

A mystery

Awesome! Looks a bit better than my scissors donor

But mine has all the cool features like a clip point blade (damaged), 5 turn corkscrew (very sloppy), +PAT opener, old style reamer (tip gone) and Victoria stamped large blade (damaged, no tip)

cool

, I'd love one of that vintage, surely it could be brought back to life if you really wanted to - polishing, reprofiling etc?

Well I was very happy when I found this one, but when it arrived I was actually pretty upset

I looked better in the seller's pictures

I am a bit busy right now, but I might try bringing it back to life at a later time!

Neil · **Reply #1118 on:** September 07, 2011, 09:44:25 PM

Yes, in fairness it doesn't actually look in too bad a condition

Still, 84mm scissors is 84mm scissors

I found two 74mm knives. A Prince and an Alox Ambassador with adv.

Neil · **Reply #1121 on:** September 08, 2011, 03:46:23 PM

I do like a bit of 74mm. Very nice

That does look really close, no hollow rivet that I can tell though.

Nice! Did you buy it off eBay recently? I may have posted a pic of that very same knife.
Do you know which country it was?

I doubt this is the one you saw on eBay recently. It was a couple months back that I picked this one up. Saudi Arabia is the country they specifically mentioned in their email but they did mention there was another design for a different country done recently. Here are the links to the 2 designs Victorinox sent me.
Saudi Arabian Market design since 1989--http://b2b.victorinox.ch/A219/Victorinox_Globe_Emblem.jpg
Alternate design used since 2009 not sure which market area, maybe same country-http://b2b.victorinox.ch/A219/Victorinox_Eagle_Emblem.jpg

A nice chap from Serbia sent me a little gift this week

A little Bijou. The pouch apparently might not be original to it, its a kind of slightly padded plastic in burgundy. Anyone else got a similar pouch?

Thanks Gojkan
