And the other Schweizer messer fella has some turquoise Farmer Xes which I suppose are also pretty special. Only they are branded GBT, whatever that means.
I wonder what the story is behind these branded beauties. Did some companies order a pile of them and then change their minds? In any case I'd prefer them without the branding. 79 euros is getting kind of pricy! (The price of the turquoise Farmer X)
Edit - a google search leads me to think GBT = German Bakery Technology. If you need 50,000 donuts every morning these are your go-to guys...

GBT is a German transport company that also sells building equipment.

(Website down at the time of writing)

The turquoise color is the main company color.

Thanks for correcting me on that! Big trucks are far cooler than donut making equipment, especially if they're turquoiose!

Orange X got here yesterday....yep those scissors sure make it a bit chunkier than the scissorless version. Here you can see the full extent of my orange fetish in all its depravity. The Lionsteel SR1 & 2 (big and small, respectively) are just magnificent. The plan was to figure out which one I preferred and sell one, but they're both so awesome I'll probably keep them forever.
If, some years from now, you read in the newspaper about some sad old geezer found dead beneath an avalanche of orange tat, that'll be me...
