Red Alox Farmer SOLD

It's the one in the middle

Just got a new one, looks and feels great. Actually, it looks and feels eternal. Unfortunately, somewhere between the time Tim mailed it and now, I realized it's simply not what I'm looking for.

What I am looking for is a Camper Plus, Huntsman Plus/Lite, or basically any SAK with a can opener, saw, corkscrew, tweezers and pen. Scissors are nice, but I can manage. Can be new or lightly used. Any takers? I can post more pictures if you want, but keep in mind it's all via webcam...

Edit: Just compared the tools with those on my Atlas. All except for the wood saw are bigger and the blade is slightly thicker. Guys, this thing is growing on me, fast. Hurry!

I love the Farmer. It's just that I either trade it now, or buy a Swisscard or some such nonsense later.

P.S. There's nothing really wrong with Swisscards, it's just that they're not tough enough to endure my back pocket and I have no idea where to put one.

P.P.S. Choose your next words carefully.

You have no idea how close he came

As of right now, Huntsman Plus, Huntsman Lite, Explorer Plus and Voyager are the only SAKs accepted. And you have to send me a lock from your daughter's hair.

P.S. And the Farmer is used.

I had to open a bottle of wine to make sauce at work last night. The Farmer awl did a poor job at that. After finally finding a dedicated corkscrew, I found that the cutlets for which the sauce was meant got burned to a crisp. Making a new batch delayed me from serving another meal, which by that time got cold and had to be warmed up.

Never again.

I will now resume bringing an Atlas to work. The Farmer looks good and feels great, but it is inadequate for my purposes. If anybody wants it (unsharpened and in excellent condition, paint coming off about 0.5 millimeter on the ends), I will sell it for 10 USD. Shipping is free anywhere. If you want to trade, Camper or Huntsman will do.

Kicker: I will pay you 10 bucks, if you take it (just take it!

) and send me this.

Oooh, you're missing out. But we'll remedy that soon enough.

In any case, who's willing to get me the set linked above? I still need a replacement for the Farmer and my Photon Freedom broke today when I examined it for signs of wear. Oh, the irony...

You could get one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/victorinox-swiss-army-knife-camper-with-microlight_W0QQitemZ220262310691QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item220262310691&_trksid=p3286.m14.l1318
Shop around I'm sure you can get one for less

Rodion · **Reply #14 on:** August 01, 2008, 12:56:52 AM

I doubt I could get one for much cheaper; nobody in US wants to ship them here.

I guess I'll just fall back on the U-key for my EDC needs...
