It’s sort of rounded, similar to the spine on a sebenza. The jimping on the thumb rise is massive
The whole thing is on another scale. Feels great in the hand though, balanced right at the end of the scales and with a nice palm swell. This is its Tinder picture.

Maybe pull it out of its sheathe really slowly. Then oil it with a vigorous up and down motion?

Check out Bob Dozier knives. He may have gone “bench made” which is semi production. Affordable, hunting, tactical, decent knives. Dozier Knives - Dozier Knives
Their website says it's a 3 year backlog
Just picked this up in an antique shop. Not an antique but for a dollar? I couldn’t pass up a Victorinox. It was never used and with the Alox scales, an indestructible little knife. Super thin.

Wow. The last time I checked his stuff out was probably several years ago. He’s been busy I guess. Nice knives though.

I can wait much more patiently for a hand-crafted knife than I can for a firearm. We Bladesmen are like that...

Speaking of Victorinox, I just picked up a Combat Utility Knife (U.S.) at the Swiss Knife Shop in Amherst, NH (internet sales only) and a nice pouch for it.
Cool website. Never seen that one before.
I’ve always liked antiques but I’m getting obsessed with Victorinox for some reason. Maybe it’s their price point over their incredible quality.I just visited their website. I just got a 10% coupon code. Thanks!

If that had a corkscrew, that would be about perfect.

Damn, that might be the winner for an EDC knife.
They have a ton of different configurations. Check out the website. Can’t beat the price either.

Yeah, my problem with SA knives is the same problem I have with bags. I can't find the perfect one, so I get one that is too big/too much. This being just a knife that will open everything, and not much more then that, is probably all I actually need.
How long did it take to ship? I just ordered that Minichamp last night. They gave me a 10% coupon code for sending them my email also. I like the free shipping too.

I just ordered a Victorinox Swiss Army "1" through Swiss Knife Co. for $21. (delivered)
I like it, and it looks very thin. I like the Alox a lot...
They have one in black oxide blade that looks nice too.
Victorinox Swiss Army 1 Schweizer Messer
And a Red Alox "Pioneer" that I like the looks of...
And then there's Wengers...

I like those, a different color for each day of the week
I have the Soldier I bought in 97. No lanyard ring. I think they call it the pioneer now. My wife’s going to kill me soon. Lol.Ireally like the red Alox. I like the newer shields too. Victorinox bought Wenger and stopped making them. If you have any Wengers, hang onto them.

Yeah, the Vic shield is pointed, the Wenger shield is rounded, both have the same Swiss Cross if branded with a plain cross, and from what I've been reading Wenger is still producing knives under
Vic direction, but those are only sold in Switzerland. Ebay actually has some Swiss vendors and will ship out of that country. They look like small, cottage businesses/vendors.
I may be totally wrong, but this looks like the case with Victorinox-Wenger.
I may try an add a new Alox color every year for my B-day...![[smile]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/001.gif "Smile [smile]")

I’m already eyeballing this one. Thanks enbloc, I may be getting divorced soon. Either that or the wife’s going to stab me. I’ll have to get this one for Christmas. I think you are right about the Wengers. I’ve always been a fan of old school type folders and fixed blades but I can’t get over the quality over price for these knives.

Hey, tell her it's still better than being hooked on drugs or gambling...
