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 readingA random group of Victorinox kitchen knives, steak knives, etc. These are used on a daily basis. Fairly cheap, great quality.

Knives with this logo are fairly hard to get. I do have a black Executive and a red SwissChamp with leather sheath as well. I’ve also seen pictures of 84mm and 111models with alternative logos instead of the cross and shield emblem. In some cases the kitchen cutlery logo is used.
Continue readingI feel like someone is watching me. A nice Limited Edition Victorinox Spartan made for Urban Outfitters. The scales are actually white, with a yellowish white print wit lots of eyes on both front and back.
