:SAKnight: Switzerland forever !  :SAKnight:

Today's Swiss National Day!
Today 724 years ago, Switzerland was founded.

A good day to show a few of the red Alox models with silver old cross
because these are most similar to the swiss flag.

All different pieces.

I think a little pee trickled out.


I pitched a little tent in the middle

Great collection!   :tu:

Thank you sir! I did message you a while back offering to buy/trade for some of your 84mm to fill up a few gaps in my collection but you seem to be one of them folk who prefer SAKs to money  ;)

No, the truly dumb thing was using hand sanitizer a few minutes after noticing the cut

Instead, we should allow them to kill each other and deal with the strongest ones. At least, that's what real men do  :P

I don't post too often, but I just had to share.  I just got home from a week family vacation at South Shore Lake Tahoe.  While there, we took a day and drove to Virginia City in Nevada (Samuel Clemens spent some time there).  Did a little hunting in the antique shops and scored this little gem.  A little used and abused.  The awl has been broken and re-shaped, but all in all a great knife with brand new snap. They're still out there to be found!!!
And for only $18

It was a bit tough to pry it out from our Austrian friend's hands, but I made an offer he couldn't refuse :) Still looking for Bantam II

Petrol blue Farmer 2015 for Chinese collectors.

The blue color on the two pics below is a bit too bluish. The real color is a bit more greenish. It's better visible on the last pic.





Color comparison: standard blue - petrol blue - Long Rancher green 2011
