Had the tool near the window for the few hours of light we get in the winter and got a surprisingly solid glow. And thanks for reminding me, I've forgot to go for the badge.

Congratulations for the badge!

Gath, lovely glow, and I know what you mean about low light up there - spent winter of ‘92-‘93 in Estonia, absolutely loved it except for how dark it was!

Small world, didn't expect many if any of our American members to have spent any time, nevermind so long in Northern Europe.

Tallinn is a rather common tourist destination fo Finn's I've visited multiple times, sadly I've had no time or money to further explore the country.  But it is indeed a lovely place.

I’m heading out into the dark later this evening, so I thought I’d use my UV LED torch to charge up the scales on my Rescue Tool before I venture out! Hope I get the badge soon as I’ve a grapefruit IPA from Bellhaven waiting in reserve  for the celebration! :cheers:

Well I guess an UV light would actually charge the tool to usable levels  in Winter. How long do you have to charge it and how long does the glow last?

Gath, it is indeed lovely, as is Finland, but I’m actually British, and my reason for being in Tallinn was to set up the British Embassy there after the collapse of the former Soviet Union, then I went on to do the same in Tashkent, then 3 years in Moscow setting up further Embassies in Tbilisi, Yerevan, and Ashgabat, before going back to Tashkent.... I still remember the ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki and a burst of prosperity - first time I had to us3va credit card in a pub (the Guinness bar in Helsinki) as I didn’t have enough Finnmarks to cover the bill! :cheers:

Oh must Have looked at the wrong post. But I think I expected to bump onto a British diplomat even less.

Gath, no worries! I’m very much a former diplomat, and one that has a soft spot for Finland and Estonia - always nice to come across non-Indo-European cultures and languages (my post grad was in Euskera/Basque)....

I'm gone try to buy one. I already contacted the shop but they don't ship outside Switzerland. They told me to contact Victorinox. I knew that I would get a negative reply and I was right. Now I have to search an address in Switzerland and I think I have found one so I have good hopes to purchase the knife.  :hatsoff: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Good luck, Ivo - always annoying when they won’t ship outside of Switzerland  :rant:

Comis, that’s an amazing knife - what’s the story behind it? :like:
