You'll Never Guess What Victorinox Is Removing from Its Iconic Swiss Army Knife

BTW, I got banned from a Facebook watch group for posting a photo of a watch with a Swiss Army Knife next to it. OMG! OMG! A...a.... a..... a KNIFE! OMG!
 
I acquired this recently. Probably re-gift to someone or maybe start carrying it...

Last one I had (red) was about that size and I carried it regularly, I had to hide it outside the courthouse when we got married by the JofP--probably should have walked the couple blocks back to the car and left it there. :rolleyes: Apparently, someone saw me hide it because it was gone when we came out. šŸ˜  A bad omen for the marriage to come... :(

I guess they wouldn't like this knife my son made 100% by himself under the age of 18. It was made from high carbon elevator cable. It looks weak but I guarantee it's forge welded into solid steel. Sorry the pics got out of order. Pic 1 as forged and initial cleanup. Pic 2 in the forge on heat treat day. The item in there is a dagger. Spring steel melts at 2500 and we have melted it. Pic 3 his finished knife. Pic 4 the raw material with ends welded and a temporary handle added. Pic 5. Welding the ends of the raw material for forge welding

very impressive. Is that a hobby of his, or just wanted to try something new?

It's a hobby we started together about 8 years ago with a hole in the ground, air pipe and an I beam piece for an anvil. We loved it and have grown it a lot since then. My knees didn't like the ground forge lol.
 
I guess Brits will have to start eating everything pureed. Until they ban blenders.

It's got a toothpick. I figure most Brits don't know what that is.

They say the tooth brush was invented in Arkansas... and that's why it's not called a TEETH brush!

What has 6 teeth and 100 legs?
