I am no gambler... or...?!
on: April 28, 2025, 09:01:09 AM
I have always said I am no gambler. I never buy lottery tickets, bet on sports or anything else. I have always said it is a fools game.

And yet when I think of it I might be a gambler anyway. My "drug" is auctions.

Who in their right mind would bid on this - considering the pictures!?

Well I did. I guess I am a gambler after all. And/or a fool.




I can count 13 SAK that might be something to have. And a lot of crap too. And any or all of the SAK: s can be in crap condition...

I will get back with a follow up...

If there is 13 SAK (not sure about those thick ones) that would be good jackpot to get. I hope you get those and there is 13 SAKs

I'd roll the dice on that batch.  I count five that look like cheap knockoffs for sure, but five 6+ layers that might be in good shape.  I big on a lot no one was interested because I saw a Craftsman in it.  That alone made it worth the price, but there were some other good Vics as well.

Good luck!  I hope you hit the lottery on this one!  :cheers:

Went and picked them up. Nervously opening the package...



1.   SwissChamp 1988-1990, grooved corkscrew, scissors w screw, no groove for scissor spring, slant joint pliers, missing pen. Condition: very nice user.

2.   SwissChamp 1988-1990, grooved corkscrew, scissors w screw, no groove for scissor spring, slant joint pliers. Condition: like new/unused but one scale has marks.

3.   SwissChamp 2004 up. Condition: like new/unused.

4.   Champion C, 1986-1991, grooved corkscrew, scissors screw. Like new/unused.

5.   Champion Plus (1.6795R), 2003 up (old style magnifying glass – so early). Sadly the main blade is destroyed. The rest of the tools are as new. A parts knife (or getting a new main blade).

6.   Climber, 1986-1991. Nice user.

7.   Golf Tool, 1999-. Like new except some wear on the detachable ball marker.

8.   Classic, 58mm. Very nice user.

9.   Ambassador, 74mm, nice but missing a millimetre of the blade tip. A User.

10.   Bantam with advertising, likely unused.

11.   Victorinox Soldier “1961” from 1989. Like new/unused.

12.   Hunter, slide lock. Like new/unused.

13.   Spartan Lite, working light and nice condition overall.

Crap that came with the above - now in the bin:




All in all – total sum divided on the 12 that were good (leaving out the destroyed blade Champion Plus), the cost came to 190 Skr a piece (12 x 20 USD).

I am now officially a gambler and some of them makes me feel like I "won".

No. 3, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 13 will be given to young relatives that need a push in the right direction.
No. 5, a parts knife or mod object.
The rest to be users or going into the collection.

 :iagree: I would have gone for it based off the Hunter and Model 1961 alone!
USN 2000-2006

Culling of the knife and multi herds in progress...

If I pay five figures for something, it better have wings or a foundation!
