1st Watch Tuesday morning SI Appreciation Society meeting. Mini-Mags has brought in a Cellidor model of some kind that has no place in the TmSIAS. No wonder Smallbacca is so mad!

That is an awlsome combo.  :tu:



Removing the bail from my last-gen SI has sent me spiraling out of control into a bailless alternate dimension of SAK ownership.  I KNEW I was getting a solid rivet '94 but I THOUGHT I was getting an '01 Soldier, turned out to be a SI which someone, somewhat ungracefully, removed the bail from.   

Here's the thing... on my new SI  AND this '01 BOTH have tiny nicks in the blade where the blade has accidentally shut on the bail.    That's another mark against the blasted bail.  The knife feels a LOT better without it IMO. 

So here I am, bailless and shameless... I hope you guys still let me be in the club.   ::)
It's a tolerant club here El-C. One of the things I like about the SI is that the hollow rivet makes it an inclusive SAK. You can choose whether to have a bail, or a piece of twine through the hole, or nothing at all. OR if you're a pirate captain you could weave SI's into oyur beard and hair to look more fearsome!

The blade catching the bail is something I don't understand. How difficult is it to make sure the bail is out of the way of the blade? It's prolly the same people who regularly close the blade on a finger who do it.  :facepalm:

Those are some sweet SI's you have there  :cheers:


Thanks Mags!


I guess I'm too used to closing my cellidor saks, using the MacGyver/Magic Johnson method of the no-look closer.   The bail on the new SI was super loose, unlike the bail on old Celli SAKs which usually don't have play.  If you're right handed and doing a two-handed close with your palms, I think it's actually pretty easy to happen.

I do think the bail looks classy though, and perhaps if I had a better track record of keeping things in excellent condition I would have kept the bail.   I must admit I'm partial to the '94 Solid though, I think mostly because it's pretty worn and really smooth-feeling.


P.S. I have DEFINITELY closed AWL the back layer tools on the KR many times.  :D

not technically a SI (as it is the civilian version, 1 70 01) but :
(Image removed from quote.)


It has some scratches on the inside that I don't remember meaning something or not :

(Image removed from quote.)
There more you learn.......

Just checked mine and it has those same marks!  Looks like a tallying counting system. But what do they mean?  :ahhh

 :) :tu:
Wow! Great find!

What year is yours? My '97 has no marks but the '04 has 4 scratches:
WP_20170424_030 by magpie2112, on Flickr

No idea of the precise date -yet- as it is not stamped on the tang...
- it has the Red 'Swiss Army 70' Wenger cardboard box
- features the more recent 'fine' pattern on the scales compared to older Pioneers/Soldiers/SI
- the secondary tools are recent (polished and thinner ones, flat screw driver with notch)
- center pin is silverish while the blade pivot is more goldish, so is the spacer

Sadly I can't compare it with my 91' Si for now (or Victorinox Red 70's Pioneer, KL89, 03' soldier)
