An interesting trip to the Flea market
on: November 29, 2015, 06:54:57 PM
Found this wonderful limited edition collectors knife not sure if the bolsters are real gold but the quality is quite remarkable





You can tell its a collectable knife its written on the blade



Oh I did find these as well but they are just boring Victorinox and Wengers  >:D





The little 75mm alox is nice

Excellent scores!   I rarely find many affordable good pocketknives (in other words, non-Chinese), let alone Swiss Army Knives.  Only time I found one was a Vic Huntsman, and even though it was clearly used, the guy wanted if new and boxed retail price. 

Great finds!   Especially like the early horn-handled knives and Swiss Railroad Soldiers!   

What's on the advertising ones?

Come on jaydar,tell the truth.

You stumbled upon a SAK store that was going out of business and you bought  their remaining inventory.LOL.

4 hours in a very cold car park
... weeell, I guess some of the non-European (or non-Swiss) people here would spend 4 hours jaw-deep in a very cold swamp if they could find your catch there ;-)

Btw, excellent foreplay with the high-quality collector's knife.
Only your name next to the pictures told a different story ;-)

Cool little luthiers thumb planes  :drool:

 :pok:  What’s in the little black bag bottom right?

I knew nothing about the planes before I bought them just bought them because they are pure quality and very very sharp :)

The Little bag wrapped up is a 1943 wenger soldier bit worn but a nice original green bag (the open black case is for one of the two business tools not sure why I keep collecting them I think its because I paid full swiss retail for my first one and want to get my average price down  )

It was the star of the day picked it up on my way out of the market it was in an 84mm plastic case on a stall I must have passed 15 times .

It is now safe in my 75mm collection where it belongs :)
