1975 Soldier in excellent shape
on: February 27, 2020, 06:58:39 PM
Mail call!   :woohoo:
I was able to get my hands on my birth year (1975) '61 model Soldier.  Doesn't look as though it ever saw any use, and it won't now that it is in my collection!   I had my first two ALOX's show up today and this was one of them.  I love the feel of this knife and I am now on the hunt for a Farmer to put to use in my EDC rotation.   It is really cool to hold something that is the same age as you and think about where it may have spent all that time while you made your way through life's journeys....
