I had alot of projects waiting for BO, so it's probably no surprise another BO'd SAK was todays project.

I really wasnt a black oxide fan before I got these done, but now I quite like the look.

It is less convenient than the new type.

Congrats! Is the replacement brand new and flawless?

Edit: at least it (the replacement) seems happy, frolicking in the grass all dressed up

An ordinary (read: current production) Craftsman in yellow scales. SwissChamp used to be my preferred 91 mm model until the change to the cheap, one piece plastic magnifying lens. Now it's the Craftsman that I like more from the current 91 mm line.

And one of the nice green with red shield Pioneers released a while ago:

The Victorinox 84mm Sentry is usually marked with the Boy Scouts image but this one is plain and has the hot stamped economy style shield. The blade on this knife measures at 58mm's.

That's cool

I hope to someday be able to track down and obtain my birth year as well.

Have been looking for a Vic Apprentice for a long time. Found this ISC Germany "knock-off" that is actually very good quality. I think it is Imperial Schrade Corp's German plant (before they went out of business). While not a "true" SAK; the quality and design are just as good IMHO. After I found this one, I searched ebay for ISC Schrade and found they made numerous SAK 'Knock-off' styles. I don't buy "knock-off"s although I have a couple from back in the days when stores gave away Chinese SAKs (junk) at store openings (like A&N stores).

Brings me to another question. Is there any difference between the tool sets in the Vic "Marlboro Team" knives and the regular VICs of the same type? Thanks in advance.
