They were called electrician's knives... are there any electricians here?

Sparky415 · **Reply #1321 on:** October 01, 2011, 11:35:26 PM

There might be

I have no idea what the bent tool might be for

edcgear · **Reply #1322 on:** October 02, 2011, 01:43:12 PM

The latest is Soldier 04 in middle and Explorer (far right)

Hi All,

My latest are a pair of Alox Classics, one in lime green and the other in orange. No idea if they will be users or stay in the packets as yet?

Also considering a Compact as ive found them at a rather nice price!

Since finding this forum my interest in SAK's has been re-ignited, absolutely great reading.

ATB, Jon.

Lol @Neil, very good. My Son loves Tic Tacs...

Reinier · **Reply #1326 on:** October 04, 2011, 12:45:21 PM

These ones all arrived while I was on vacation

It felt like Christmas when I came home and got to open all those packages

Smooth alox Executive, old style scissors, some scratches on the scales
Spartan with Victoria Officier Suisse tang stamp
An old Windsor, different scale design than the one I already had
Uninteresting Classic, came with the Executive
A Victoria model 72 H (almost mint), long nail file
Victoria SAK with exposed rivets and bail, basically a Spartan

Nice list. What are the blade & can opener markings on the 1950s Spartan? Is it an "Armee Suisse/Victoria Switzerland Stainless" & "US PAT PEND" version or a "Victorinox Switzerland Stainless/Victoria Officier" & "+PAT" version?

It's the latter (Officier Suisse)

My latest is Explorer

Neil · **Reply #1331 on:** October 04, 2011, 10:20:28 PM

Explorers are cool

Actually I think that about all SAKs with magnifiers

Pignut71 · **Reply #1332 on:** October 04, 2011, 10:23:07 PM

Great choice, I love the explorer. I've owned mine for about 24 years and carry it most of the time (I give it a little rest every now and then). The magnifier glass has a grey surround on mine?

Regards, Jon.

They changed to the new style in 2004. Yours will be glass with an 8x magnification and the new ones are plastic with a 5x magnification but a wider field of view.

Vladimir · **Reply #1334 on:** October 04, 2011, 10:29:34 PM

It's my first sak with magnifier, and I also love the inline philips

Neil · **Reply #1335 on:** October 04, 2011, 11:42:49 PM

Really like the one on the far right, is it wood (as have a non sak in the same finish) or cellidor ?

Richard

Chako · **Reply #1341 on:** October 05, 2011, 12:14:37 PM

They are all celidor. I bought them because of the Canada flag. However, the third one on the right has me thinking somewhat, as I can't see any Vic logo on the scales. I had assumed it wore off or something, but that does not appear to be the case.

I managed to source a BNIB Trooper for the collection

Reinier · **Reply #1343 on:** October 05, 2011, 01:41:05 PM

Interested in a red one as well?

The same source [http://www.bondsoflondon.com] still have stocks of the Safari Hunter, Safari Pathfinder, Safari Trooper and trooper [OD]

Reinier · **Reply #1345 on:** October 05, 2011, 01:59:34 PM

Ah right, I know that place. They also have nice MoP Executives, battle series knives and Astronauts

I bought one of the Astronaut's....Then I bought another to be kept in the box, the first one is on my belt

My latest SAKs are these 10 guys:

I'm really very happy with these ones! They don't show up very often around here, almost never the complete sets, let alone Collection no. 1 and no. 2 at the same time!

Must-haves for 74mm fans like me
