I'm trying to collect all them..My idea-fix - find all possible Victorinox knives. Not Wengers, not new Wengers (Victorinox Delemont)For now my mission still incomplete Yes, I have more than 500 knives (I've start to buy Victorinox knives approximately 3 years ago), but still a lot of "white-places".Hope, I'm close to complete 111-mm series (I'm talking only about regular models, not limited ones), - only 1 model is missing

Doesn't SAK Guy have all the models by now?
Do you have the Mariner, an early version of the Helmsman with red handles.http://www.sakwiki.com/ti...i-index.php?page=Helmsman

A lot depends on how fine you want to go on varieties. For instance the Classic was offered at one time or another in over two dozen colors. Also well over a hundred limited editions.What about handle material variations? Stag, horn, pearl, etc. Some of these had different names; some didn't.What about bail versus plain? Bail versus keyring? Square versus round phillips?For a very rough count go into SAKwiki and count the basic models listed under the different sizes. Assume that's basically post-WWII, and double it to pick up pre-WWII models.

But thank you for reminder OK, two models still missing in my collection Or three? Mariner with corkscrew also missing... P.S. By the way, I have never seen Mariner (with red scales) on ebay...
Here's a Mariner I picked up early on. Don't remember where I got it. Wasn't until I started really organizing the collection that I realized it was something special.

Quote from: Corwyn on January 22, 2016, 09:52:22 AMI have over 150 saks nowIt always makes me feel good to encounter someone who is more deranged - I mean enthusiastic - than me.
Now I randomly buy what I run into with no rhyme or reason.
