My first Executive arrived today. Saw this a few days ago and, on yet another another SAK impulse buy, snapped it up.

Customised solid copper scales on a new SAK with brass pins.
Should hopefully develop a decent unique patina over time.
This one is definitely going to be one of my watch pocket EDC's (watch out MiniChamp!).

(This Brit now has an excuse to hunt down and watch an episode of MacGyver  :D )

 


Grunthos, how does the knife look these days?
My Mods: 58mm Workshop, 91mm Picnicker, CyberCompact
Some Fav's: long nail file models, vintage unusual stainless
Quirk: I like the metal file more than the wood saw

Early days yet, slowly developing a patina (and a few scratches! - soft metal).
Promise I'll post a few more photos in the fullness of time  ;)

It does really look and feel like it’s about the right size. Hits that sweet spot like the Cadet and the  84mms hit as well. The 58mm is freaking small for a man to even handle, and the 91 & 93mm with more than 2/3 layers start getting to be a bit much in the  pocket…. Definitely a sweet spot b/w 74/84mm!

Just discovered this older thread and I've had a great time looking at all the beautiful Executives and other 74s. I was hoping someone might be able to answer a question. Does anyone know approximately when the Executive was introduced by Victorinox?
