Thanks, John. I just wish I would have picked up one of those Blade HQ Kydex neck sheaths for the Boker Minis when they had them. I did pick up one for the full sized autos but the Minis seem to be more neck knife comfortable in my opinion.

Maybe a sign that a new camera is in order (if new batteries don't get it going again). But stop with the knives? Absolutely not.

Everyone is showing some great ones today! ::not_worthy:: Here are my latest. We'll start with the first of three that arrived ahead of schedule: a Schrade 197UH. Thanks to Coinfolio for this one!
197UH.jpg
Two 58mm Swiss Army knives also arrived. At top is an orange Yellow original Signature (with removable instead of retractable pen). The blue one with the Blaser Swisslube logo is a Rambler. Thanks to Knifegnome for the orange Yellow!
Victorinox Littluns.jpg
The last four are all Victorinox, and all were birthday presents. From top to bottom: Evolution 23, Swiss Army 1/Solo, black Pioneer, and blue Bantam from Swiss Knife Shop. I bought the Pioneer and Bantam. Thanks to Robin for the Evo 23 and Solo!
Birthday Presents.jpg
A second black Pioneer didn't board the train in time. However, as it's a carrier, it'll have plenty of opportunities to hop on other trains.

Thanks for looking!

I finally found my Minsheng Mark. I bought it about 3years ago from Triple F. OAL is 6 1/2 in. 0A0BC19B-EB18-477D-97A3-07FBCFAB8988.jpeg268A2D77-A3D4-404D-9E06-1661F609C9D4.jpeg
Sweet looking knife!! ::tu::

Rotten wrote: Tue Sep 14, 2021 6:15 pm Even though it's been cleaned I'm super impressed by this one. Full blades and zero blade wobble with near perfect bone. I was surprised at how thin the main blade is, nearly scalpel thin at the tip. Picked it up for a good price based on a couple of mediocre pictures and wasn't expecting it to be in this good condition.

And here is a "PioneerXAlox/silver". There are scissors in place of the saw blade. The awl is hidden behind the scissors.

And here is an older Red Alox Farmer. Looks like it had some pocket time but the blades appear unused. Is there a way to get a date range for this one ?

Nice knives everybody! I dig the Minsheng a lot! I have have one somewhere. I’ll see if I can dig it out of storage.
Hey Randy, thanks! ::handshake:: I would love to see your copy if you can find it! Mark! 8)

WOW, I like that Randy! ::tu:: I like the all metal look far better than my faux wooden cover. I see your copy also has the pocket-clip as the back cover, cuz I was wondering if mine was the only model like that. Thanks a bunch for digging it out and showing us! ::handshake:: 8)
