Continue readingA trio of Spartans, but with a special twist. These three colors are far from usual. I’ve seen some orange ones with company logos. This one may be identical to those. The middle one is dark blue/purple. Maybe aubergine? Could be Festool blue, I will check later. On the right is olive drab green. Perhaps the same as that Deutsche Aerospace Spartan I saw years ago? Edit: nope, none of these colors match any of my SAKs with company logos.
Continue readingUpdated group photo of most of the translucent scale colors, excluding the colors used in the 58mm line. Note that the two onyx SAKs used to be quite different from each other a few years ago or even just two years ago when I took another group pic of several translucent scale colors. They have both faded even more due to exposure to UV light. The pink one is a Rose Edition officer’s knife. That color was very uncommon back

I don’t think alox scaled Ambassadors ever had there own official name, or maybe Lady Victoria. This blue one has a company logo on the

Continue readingJust a few random Victorinox Swiss Army Knives. These are mostly duplicates that are for sale.
Continue readingIn the 1960s or 1970s Victorinox offered two versions of the Fisherman’s knife or Fischermesser. They were available with blue scales (uncommon back in the day) with a fish emblem on the top of the front scale, instead of the Swiss shield and cross. These knives were equipped with unusual scissors with a cut-out, and of course the fish scaler. The one I own is actually a bit more uncommon. It lacks scissors and a metal file. I have never
Continue readingJust a quick pic of all different translucent scale colors in my collection. Note that the orange Cybertool (bottom right) is a different shade of orange than the Color Twins Spartan. There are more colors in 58mm, but those do not exist in 91mm as far as I know.
