SWISS ARMY KNIFE THREAD

That sucks that he shipped it in an envelope. I hope he replaces it. The boxes look as nice as the knives themselves.

My personality flaw forced me to order another one from a different vendor and insist on box-packaging...
If replaced with a good example from original vendor... I'll resell at a later date .

I've had this one forever. Wenger Backpacker. The larger Victorianox I found on a camping trip a few years ago..

I totally feel your frustration. I tend to double up on these LEs so I can carry one and save one. Perhaps the busted box knife becomes a user vs a saver?

Does this count as a SAK?

Had it since I was a kid. Obviously been through hell and back.

I was curious as to the steel used by Victorinox. Good enough for me. There’s a lot of high end knifemakers using CrMo of some variation. Although I do like a nice carbon steel on a traditional folder, stainless has its place.

Got this from my brother when he passed. It doesn’t get used much . I have lost many over the years.

Patrick- sorry for your loss.

Couple questions on the knife ... what are those next to the screwdriver and next to the toothpick, is that an eyelet for a split ring or lanyard ?

Yes

I think the hook next to the Phillips is for stitching cause the awl has a hole for pushing string or thread through material. I’m sure some of the experts would know for sure.

The official use is as a package hook, to turn your knife into a handle that will help you to carry a parcel or box wrapped in string. You can also attach a string to the hook, and turn your Swiss Army knife into a plumb bob or a fishing lure, or use it to pull a thread or line through a tight spot.

It's basically a little, metal finger.

40+Uses for the Swiss Army Knife Parcel Hook...


I find it's best use is while cooking...

Someone should make a draw-style barrel snake that has a small loop to grab with the hook so you can use the "T" shape of the knife to pull with.
Cross-functionality is a plus in My world...

That’s a damn good idea,

Cooking for the hook. When your camping and use it to pick up a pan.

The Silver ALOX Hunter Pro has free Engraving for the next 4 days, but this model is limited to 3 characters. (some of the Red ones can have up to 12 characters.)

"NES" would make a nice monogram...



Would look better on the red ALOX though, especially if it cuts into the silver under the paint. (Red is not included in the Engraving Sale though...)

 

[Patrick M]

That silver is a sexy looking knife

 

[Picton]

Go?

Yeah. You know, you get one, I'll get one? The silver is sharp, but I'd probably go red.

What we SHOULD do is look into a group buy, but I have no idea how to do that.

Ah! I thought you meant... "Road Trip!!!"




I also like the Red ALOX with a solid blade,
But, the Silver ALOX is nice too, and the Victorinox "One-hand" blades are sweet...

I will "Go", and most likely... both.
