I have a question for the 108mm folks.
Does the Safari Trooper come with a shield for the wood saw?

I'm not sure. Most of my 108mm with wood saw don't have the shield so it's either missing or wasn't there in the first place  :think:

I'm wondering too because I bought this Safari advertised as new in box it's in route (pic from eBay ad).  Doesn't appear that it has one:

I’m under the impression that all 108mm models with wood saw should come standard with the protective shield... I only have 2 of those (GAK and Fireman) which I got 2nd hand... and all have the protective shield... but they didn’t came with the slip-in pouch...

Yes, it seems they should come standard.  I wonder how difficult it will be to source one if it isn't in the box.  :think:

The trouble with these protective shields, they get misplaced or lost easily... just like lens caps on cameras :lol:

Funny you mention that...

I'm picking up a Safari Trooper tomorrow on the cheap because the saw cover is missing.

When I bought a wooden rotating cabinet last year, I found a new saw cover inside... :rofl:

Excuse my ignorance but this always confused me: When we say "108mm" do we mean the length of the blade only or the length of the tool (from one end of the scale to the other end)?  :think:

Good question Doga... I haven’t done the excercise of actually measuring it. But I think its the length of the scales...

Solo, Solo, GAK-I

If one has one Solo, it's solo.
Of one has two Solo's it's duo?
The GAK is confused, and so am I.

Does anyone have any info on the strap on the Solo?
The seller mentioned the 'original strap' was included. And even though the straps seemed familiar to me I can't find any info on it.
Do any of you know about a strap/lanyard like the one on the Solo?

Yesterday I finally found an affordable Walther, so I can cross that one off my list now.

The Walther was however afforable for a good reason: the Walther logo is gone, only when you hold it in the light a certain way you can still see a very vague reminder that it was once there. But hey, even without the logo it still is a Walther, which is a quite rare piece and the only black scaled 108mm  :salute:

And since Walthers in good condition go over € 600 (I have only seen two or three for sale in the past years) this is probably the closest I can get to adding one to the collection!

I will post pictures when it arrived!

It's here!!
