Great to see SO MANY new, well earned Badges.  Seems both tools were well received and no one has found any significant faults with them.  This in my opinion has been a resounding success and is a testiment to the quality and engineering of Victorinox.  Everyone keeps thanking me but you should all be thanking yourselves.  It was your willingness, your time and your devotion that made this work.  I just through the idea out there,  YOU ALL MADE IT A SUCCESS! 
So CONGRATULATIONS and THANK YOU EVERYONE.  :cheers:  I had a great time.  :cheers:

Hey!... I never said thank you.

Well I finished today.  It is another dog leash, but this one is for Fisher.

It is a multifunctional hands-free leash.  The crown sinnet make it feel almost like a bungee.
Real nice and beautifull leash Sos!
Good job!

And good challenge to all!

Sos24- great work, and my favourite colour combo, blue and green! Hope the reworking wasn’t too much of a chore, but had the desired improvement effect. :hatsoff:

Thanks Hevy, Barry and Rizio.

I’m still working on the modifications but I sure they will work the way I want them.

Thanks Barry, Alan and comics.  I was excited when the seller accepted my offer. Not exactly the kind of thing one comes across every day.   I'm even more excited to have it in hand and find it in such perfect condition.  A valued addition to my collection.

Great find, congrats! BTW does anybody have 1997 version (shown on this pack)  in this or another package?

Thank you m47, RizioI and jnoxyd.
I have a '97, but it's well used, and well cared for, but not in the package.  Other than A picture of the pliar head here on MTo it is the only one I have ever seen.  I was really  surprised when I came across the one I have. I'm certain more are out there.  The Swisstool is a marvel of quality after all.  My Holy Grail would be to find the '98 RS Version Sam's Club sold with a 2 AA Brinkman tail clicky flashlight still in it's bubble card.  That was my 1st Swisstool.

I saw maybe dozen 1997 but no one NIB.
Do you have a picture of your Grail SwissTool? If somebody meets it somewhere he can tell you.
