stunning condition for its age, it survived WW2 for Pete's sake.

vey strong back springs I have cleaned and oiled and its still a strong pull, less so on the main blade.
you can probably work it more if you like.

When I phoned Victorinox they where very keen to see it and said they have a special section to clean these up if you want to send it in via the London shop etc. not that it need it to use it.

the blade sharpens well [and I am not very good at it].
the awl is a beast, the best on any tool I have owned.
big flat screwdriver/pry bar
the only thing I cant wok out is how ro use the can opener.

the whole knife is very, very sturdy the balance and fit in the hand is just superb.

I am looking for £99

royal mail insured next day is £7

Bank Transfer preferred

Sorry I can't buy this but just had to say. That is a absolutely fantastic looking SAK - the main blade shape is wicked! :)

its the first time ive seen one let alone held one.
I am bowled over by the feel in the hand and the sheer built quality, these where built to last.
