Stoked to hear you've got one at last (and still have all your organs ! )

Been looking for this Holy Grail Mod61 Black Beauty for quite a while and at long last have got one at a reasonable price…..nothing like the US$10k someone’s asking on Etsy (admittedly for the full kit)

:woohoo: :D

G'Day,

My daughter's BY SAK arrived today. She turns 21 next month and this will be one of her gifts. It is in fantastic condition for a 21 year old tool. I don't think it was used very much if at all. A good soapy bath and now busy sharpening it. Once that is done, a small bit of oil and it will be ready to help where needed.

I would like to thank Myron helping to get this SAK to Oz. Mate you are a legend, thank you for playing middleman again.

One more left to get, a '71 for the Mrs then all the vN's have their own "twin"  :D

Cheers, Pete

This is so awesome!    And I can’t believe how quickly it arrived too.  Always happy to help Pete — let me know when you find that ‘71.  :)

‘Fraid so Pete, I’ll keep me eyes open for a better priced one….hard to fathom the prices of some years. 62’s and 72’s are known rare years so you expect it but not for every year

Finished a full set of all the major models today. I know some people will drill down for minor revisions, but I think this is good enough for me.

L-R:

1890: 1943 Wenger Standard Issue. Gave me a nice bite the day I got it, once I finally got the blade opened up. Five stitches.

1951: Privat Wenger Soldat. Fun to have one P for variety, and a lot cheaper than the year stamped ones.

1961: 1986 and 1989 Victorinox Soldiers. My wife's and my BYSAKs.

2008: 2011 Victorinox Soldier. My step daughter's BYSAK.

Nice!  This was my original collecting scheme too (and we all know what that turned into).

Great set and congratulations!
