Lucky store finds (Pic heavy)
on: December 05, 2015, 04:52:19 PM
Today I got incredibly lucky after visiting two different hardware stores in the Netherlands. Most of these must have been on display for ages!

First off: The One Hand Master RT from the Road trip series (already have the climber).



Next: Two quite old new in box 84mm Economy SAk's. One Lumberjack and one Recruit. The Recruit still has the Clip Point blade and is marked ELINOX so it must have been purchased atleast 30+ year ago?



I also managed to grab a new in box Victorinox SuperTimer with roman numbers:


And last but not least: New in box Vic SwissFlame :ahhh :ahhh :
