Got these two Mammoth mods on the way back from BIGHEAD's mod shop. Supposed to be here yesterday (Sat 10/4), but they appear to be stuck in St. Louis. Hopefully sometime this week………….

They arrived on Monday (10/6) but due to a little accident I had on Sunday, I wasn't able to get to the PO to retrieve them from my box until yesterday. (More pics posted in the other appropriate threads)

ISC Century Series; CN111 Endeavour. Looks like it was made to promote the Tradesman line--which is strange as that line was 100% Irish (and basically plastic-handle adaptations of old shell-handle Imperials).

When it comes to Swiss Army Knives and their copies, I typically buy actual Swiss Army Knives. Mikov's large clones are good knives (and I like the palm swell), but the 91mms are junk. Adler was the OEM for the Century series--for many years, they assembled the German Army Knife with parts supplied to them by Victorinox. And they are quality. Honestly, the differences between them and an actual Swiss knife are subtle--they even fit Victorinox scales and scale tools.

I have the Gemini (Camper clone) and it's almost as good as a Camper.

Victorinox made a similar model to this called the Apprentice. It was not made in huge numbers, and is hard to find. The Endeavour is pretty much the same, but 91mm.

This one I'm still torn on. The Endeavour is one of the less common Century-series folders. Yet, it has most of what I need for day-to-day use--blade and screwdrivers (I usually keep a 58mm for the scissors).

I had this one in my watch list at $17, but the seller offered $12. I figured with shipping costs these days, that was dirt cheap.

Have one in the mail. Coming from USA so don't know how long it will take. A Case sodbuster amber bone with carbon steel blade. Always wanted one and finally found one, so treated myself to a Christmas present. Not cheap by any means but thought what the heck. ::uc::

Nice! I have a couple in Delrin (yellow CV/CS and black stainless with the Sodbuster etch), and I find them to be at, pretty much, the perfect size.

I hear the bone versions are a little slimmer than Delrin.

They are a lot slimmer. I have both, and the bone is significantly slimmer. You are correct about the perfect size. ::tu::
