I have a clean, red 74mm Executive if anybody is interested in it. It's a cool piece in a great size, but I'm trying to keep my collection small and it has an unusual tool combo for my needs. This is probably the wrong thread/sub - I apologize if so - but I'm not set on selling it (or know a price, but will accept whatever is fair), and figured this targeted audience would be apt.   :tu:

I have one 74mm Victorinox, an Executive. It is my preferred SAK for travel.

Finally I got a new scale for my Executive, not a brand new one, but used in good condition. Just waiting for them to be arrive. Love this SAK, it's a present from my GF and got a lot of pocket time and now I want to give it a little fresh look.

The 74mm Series is making great little tools. But the variation is rather limited. Vic should made more in this unique sizerange.

Something like a Climber would be cool. I don´t have such a big use for the orange peeler, but it makes a nice boxcutter. But a caplifter/screwdriver combo would be a great addition there.

Please show more variation, Vic!  :pok:

Found this. Any info on the model? Obviously, there has never been a small nailfile on this knife.

One of the most important SAK's I own is my money clip. It has the most important job of any SAK I own. Holding my beer money.

How firm is the backspring on the 74mm knives?  More lilke 58mm, or more like 84mm?

I have an Ambassador, an Executive, and a money clip. All three have decent snap, much better than any 58mm, and much better than I expected when I first bought them. Bigger blade, bigger scissors, better walk and talk... I prefer them to the smaller knives by far.
May it be as the Pattern has chosen.
