What caused you to buy a swisstool

[Dunc]

Before I got married I collected deactivated guns , a .38 Webley revolver , Walther PP , Sturm Ruger .357 Magnum police service six, .45 1911A1 , SLR 7.62 L1A1 and a 303 Lee Enfield No. 4 . Wish I had them now then I could spend hours online researching all the manufactorers marks and numbers etc.

I never knew you were into de-acts!, haven't they changed the law regarding owning them now anyway?

I know that fairly recently they had to have there actions totally welded up to complie with new regulations

I dont know how the law stands now but I started to loose interest when they began welding them up . Being able to strip them was 90% of the fun .All mine were of the older kind and there prices are about the same as a live version  Were talking alot of money now . Wish I'd kept them but sold them to help set up our first flat together

Out of the whole list, I'd miss the No 4 the most

It was a No.4 MK11 (two) and was made in 1949 and was in lovely condition . The SLR with black furniture was a bit of a beast too  Nearly bought and Uzi once but just stopped myself shelling out £450 at the last minute .

I used to shoot my uncle's No 4, and had (briefly) an Ishapore no4, lovely gone to shoot, more of a gentle shove comapred to the sharp recoil of a mauser or mosin/nagant

As for the Uzi, god above knows how much there worth now

The only reason I buy SAKs at all was one day, A cat came to my door.  That cat said, and showed, a video of me with my mistress .  And threatened to show that video to my wife , if i didn't start buying SAKs exclusively for Felinevet Tim!!!

I still remembered what the cat said:"If you can afford a mistress, you can afford SAKs!!"

Pretty good sales strategy I guess.

That's the pic of my mistress.  Whassup??

[CQC-7]

If that is you mistress then I guess that you have a lot of money to buy tools.  Either that or you have no money because you spent all of it on her.

One thing I have noticed, Felinevet Tim hasn't denied involment yet??

[CQC-7]

If he denies involvment, it might affect his sales.

Moi? I can't keep those darn sales cats under control. They don't think I sell fast enough! Here's the head of my sales force:http://i8.ebayimg.com/06/i/000/c6/28/f838_0.JPG

That's the evil, pointy earred, son-of -a-b**** that came to my door!!!

In that photo is he saying "you refused my offer" or "say hello to my little friend."

That AK pointed at was a good motivator.  Especially when he told me he would give my wife the AK after he showed the video

[CQC-7]

It was probally for the better that you gave into the sales cat.

[WhichDawg]

For my first multi-tool it was a no brainer (as in I have none!) so many satisfied customers and raves. and it was perdy lookin too!

[CQC-7]

It is definately somthing to  over.

My first SwissTool (original Plus model with two blades & no corkscrew facility) I got from a swap with my cousin.  He complained that the ST was too heavy to put on his belt.  He swapped it for my Gerber MP-650 deluxe which was my EDC at the time.  At this time I also carried an LM PST.  When I started carrying the SwissTool, my first impression was: "damn! bluntnose pliers".  After a couple of months, I happily gave the PST to my brother.  The SwissTool earned my respect and confidence.

My current EDC (SwissTool X Plus) was a birthday gift from my wife and daughter from a couple years ago.  Both tools have never let me down or failed in any way. =)

I the Russian engineer. I use the Swiss officer knife in rather heavy conditions of 15 years - and the knife never brought me! Has got Victorinox Spirit Plus-fine quality of manufacturing, and full фукциональный a tooling. I am pleased.

Nice to have you along mate, you've got fine taste in tools

[Elexey]

Thank for kind words! I am sorry for the bad English - it electronic translator. I am engaged in construction of optical fibre communication lines. Frequently it was necessary to work in woods, steppe - there where there is no civilization. Without a knife there there is nothing - a meal, a bed, it is necessary to prepare itself. But the Swiss knife is also the tool! I used it(him) at cutting and installation of an optical cable, fine repair электро and the radio equipment did not suffice ticks. Now I shall check up SPIRIT and I shall write the impressions.

Your english is a lot better than my Russian mate , and like the saying goes ''knife is life'', and I'm glad to see your tools are working for a living and not sat in a draw at home

[J-sews]

Welcome Elexey! We look forward to hearing about your Spirit Plus

[Elexey]

I shall necessarily tell about SPIRIT after tests. Several my comrades have usual Leatherman-I when have decided to buy the multipurpose tool have looked their tools - that not that, then esteemed forum - and think victorinox is victorinox-and have bought... victorinox!
