This pocket knife was one in a group of nine that I recently purchased. I didn't buy the group for this particular pocket knife. It's a VICTORINOX florist pocket knife. It measures 4" closed and 6 3/8" open. It's in VERY good condition. It didn't need any cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

I recently picked up one of those as well. It takes a razor's edge with little effort, and I'm really bad at sharpening.

Those are nice little knives. I have one and then I have one that the blade is what I call a small Hawkbill blade.

Floyd, I think I'm going to use it to open boxes,
envelopes, packages, etc. The blade is just right,
not too long and not too short. ::tu::

Be very, very careful. Those suckers will cut you just from looking at them. Was carrying one a few years ago & cut some pizza with it. Wiped the pizza mung off the blade with a napkin. Thought I was being careful but came away bloody anyway.

Very nice John. ::tu:: ::tu:: I'm a sucker for Alox and been eyeballing the Orange ones. Not decided yet. I'm still stuck on the Silvers and Reds.

But anyway, I received this one today from that Jungle store on the interweb. Why????? ::shrug::...... I don't know, ::facepalm::.... I just like SAKs and Alox. It's a 3-3/8 single blade single tool Officier Suisse. Plus, I figured it will make a good companion with my other large single blade I ordered out of the bay over a week ago that hasn't gotten here yet because I didn't pay attention to see where it was coming from.........Switzerland. ::dang::

Here is the one I got today.
