The Victorinox Floral Knives

Post by jerryd6818 »

I got hooked on these when I received one in a POS Roundtable. Other than being used, there was really nothing wrong with the knife. The shield is worn off but the blade is full and has the best snap of just about any of my knives. It's red so I had to have a red one in factory condition and then came a black one. As of this past weekend I have a yellow one on it's way to me. ::tu:: I have a love affair with these knives.

Edit: I had never seen one before but last week on eBay, I saw one made in the early '70s by Camillus. I was tempted but was able to do a "Get thee behind me Satan". It went for $10.50. Handle had a light "Say It With Flowers" on it.

Here's one I own. I've only seen one other and it was listed on Ebay as a horticulturist knife. If this is incorrect and someone knows of another purpose for the knife please tell.

There's one very similar on eBay right now only it's not serrated. They're keyword spamming it and calling it a "floral", "gardening", "pruning" knife. I like the looks. Maybe someday.

Oh my friend, that's not keyword "spamming" it's capitalizing on what some might call it and including it in the title.....I do it all the time. ::nod::

Okay, maybe not keyword spamming on that particular knife. What do you call it when a MIL-K has every branch of the military plus Boy Scouts in the main description line? Or they throw in "no case" at the end of every knife description?

Except for "no case" I call it brilliant. If it fits, add it. I am constantly looking for words to help me sell. I just listed a hatchet axe and added the word: wood ::nod::

Problem in selling is when someone sees it more important to list there lot number in parenthesis along with the word "lot" and describe the knife weakly as: Camillus jack knife.

That's actually the Baker's Knife, with an Alox handle. In my opinion, it would probably be used for cutting bread (that's what I'd use it for), but I've heard its real purpose has something to do with baking and deccorating cakes.

I strangely have one on my list for some reason.

It's a nice adverting knife, too!

Learn something new every day on AAPK. Once you told us what it is, I did a search and found one for sale here: http://www.webstaurantstore.com/victori ... oCyYXw_wcB

They say it's for Scoring Dough. ::uc::

Thanks for the reply and the information.
