Some of the older Wenger knives had very sharp pointed Awls. Check out my blog to see some older Wenger and Wengerinox knives.

Here is an interesting collectors piece. It is a Victorinox Camper with special order front scale for the 22nd World Scout Jamboree in Sweden 2011. The scale is printed with a high glossy coating to protect. I am sure these were made in limited numbers but there are no serial numbers, etc. Follow the link for more details and the YouTube video.

Great looking knives all! I'm a recent convert thanks to Josh, but I love me some SAK's!

For Pete's sake. I've neglected to post my most recent acquisitions in this thread.

Bombed with a Vic Executive by the Colonel (Old Hunter). Love that orange peeler blade (tool?).

A Vic Florist I picked up off eBay for next to nothing. Used but not abused. I really like this. I've been tempted more than once to grab a couple more for give aways.

An Alox Farmer I grabbed back in March.

And a Wenger Ranger 51 plain edge blade. Anticipation was better than participation with this one.
