Oh boy, now if you still have those or any in that photo...you need to take a new one and see how much wear, if any has shown up in 12 years!  :tu:

Nowadays there are maybe 5-6 SAKs from my collection that I actually use.  I carry that ribbed Cadet from time to time as a gentleman's knife, but there is no appreciable wear.  The rest are mint or near mint.

Sorry to disappoint!  :P If I took that picture again, they would all look better because I have much better cameras now.  :rofl:

Thanks you guys.  For the life of me, I don't know why Vx doesn't make this color combination available all the time.  It's so handsome.

Does anyone know in what year Victorinox released the alox Minichamps in different colours (black, red, blue) themselves?

So no store logo on the engraving plate, just "Victorinox"
