It's super nice in sapphire like this !  :cheers:
Yes, the translucent blue looks great in real life - the beauty does not come out on pictures.

Just picked up a Swiss Champ in translucent sapphire.
:like: I have two black SwissChamps, and that sapphire sure looks good.

I love the Mini Champ Lemonizer!  It's my true EDC, even if it's relegated to backup duties during challenges.  I think I've turned more people onto SAKs with the ball point pen than anything else I've ever carried  :D

How does that MiniChamp feel in the front pocket with a Nano clip or something similar? Looks like a great compromise between size and still having a variety of tools at your disposal.

I just ordered a lightly-used Champion Plus from the big auction site (blades appeared to still have their factory edges). I’m interested to see how it compares with the SwissChamp in terms of handle width and pocket-ability.

That's a great question, I don't have any of those suspension clips (yet), but I'm looking around the house for a solution !  :salute:

These just showed up. These were two of the knives I took advantage of a week or so ago when Bed Bath & Beyond was blowing them out. Tough to pass up for $29.59 and free shipping. Should have bought more when they were available.

Small Tinker.  It’s hard to beat an 84mm with no keyring.

So. Much. That.


….


Holiday season has made it extra difficult for me to participate in this thread. On any given day, I can’t tell you which knife is technically the last to arrive. And now, with USPS working their holiday program…they show up twice daily with packages.

Afternoon:

A nice used c.’65 Pioneer/Sturdy Boy did stand out a bit.

Not from today, but I am preparing a used Yellow S18 to go into the EDC rotation to directly compare to my restored/user ‘73 136ka Craftsman. Speaking of 84mm sans keyrings.

I picked up this used Vic Delemont Evolution 18 last week. Other than some scuffs on the scales and bent tweezers, it looks like it's in great shape.

Only catch is that it isn't what I was expecting. From the pics I thought it was a three-layer 16. I should have looked more closely.   :(

So a bit of buyers remorse here. At least I didn't already have one and the price was good. I'll have to keep looking for a 16.

Both great models but can understand your disappointment finding out it wasn’t what you thought, good MTo type thinking to get the 16 now though :D

My Christmas haul so far comprises a cellidor Excelsior (gift from little sister) and a Pioneer X (bought with gift $). My Champion is supposed to be out for delivery today, which will hopefully be the last knife I buy in 2021 and for a lot of 2022.

Really!  :angel:

Aside from the Opinel No.7 I just ordered.  :facepalm:
