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.

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.

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.

Thank you Jerry.
I don't think that I'll be cutting any food with this.
But.....you never know.

Very nice John.
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?????
...... I don't know,
.... 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.
Here is the one I got today.

We're kinda like a couple of Crows Jerry. We see the shiny handles and gotta get it.

I've always related myself to a Magpie. They're related to Crows. A Parliament of Magpies. A Murder of Crows.
But I just found out I've been wrong all these years.
Wikipedia:
"Magpies do not steal trinkets and are positively scared of shiny objects, according to new research. The study appears to refute the myth of the “thieving magpie”, which pervades European folklore. It is widely believed that magpies have a compulsive urge to steal sparkly things for their nests."

I hope these aren't the same Researchers and Scientist that claimied for years there were no Giant Squid. Until Japanese fishermen proved them wrong.
