Hi
I carried a Schrade Wostenholme lockback with bone and nickel silver bolsters for years, I then lost it so I carried this old Pradel for a load of years (it had a gold Eiffel tower on the scale which I wore away in my pocket)
I now carry a small Opinel on my key ring
John
That's a pretty cool looking knife! Got any more information on it?
replaced my 20 year old SAK (dont remember the model was like the hercules they sell nowadays) almost like the champ but no magnifying glass on it. I recently treated myself to the ranger model as the scissors where buckled on my 20 year old one. Thats the only one i carry these days but have several pocket knives kicking about the house some lock so stay at home now sometimes i take my jack pyke coppice knife as a spare in my response pack when hill walking. Other than that i take my mora when practicing bushcraft but generally its my SAK all the way.
Oh just to add loving the pics of the old pen knives i must get some of those really like the alox SAK farmer too looks more pocket friendly

Hi Hoodoo
Sorry, I don't know much about it other than it's a Swiss knife that seems to commemorate the Eifell tower
It's carbon steel and when honed, it holds a smashing edge
I did manage to buy it's little brother a few years later
My son borrowed the larger one to open a bottle of plonk (cheap wine) and snapped the corkscrew off
John
Beautiful knives! Too bad about the corkscrew. Have you thought about having Victorinox replacing it (assuming they made it...)?
oh that sucks
sorry to hear that. i always just carry a SAK, because then it's at least a multi tool, just in case anyone kicks up a fuss about it.Hi Hoodoo

well i had the same knife i found it in my little home village street, to make the story short,i used it for a long while,but the same thing happenned to me when opening a good wine bottle!
this is french made knife, the cross is made to make believe... blade are good steel can i say very good? but the one for the tools is just something a bit better then iron!
anyway these are mine, infact apart fro an ALOX SAK they are the only knives i own

Nice Kroo FF Corso!
My own preferred pocket knife is the Vic Deluxe Tinker
Shown here as a scale to an army bivy bag. The knife has most of the things I need. Didn't have much use for the pliers before but since I converted to the honey stove/trangia, it has been quite helpful for moving hot metal parts.
Getting quite attached to it since it's pretty much my first full sized SAK, has travelled with me quite a bit and it's now a bit more scratched up. It's also discontinued I believe, so adds to the novelty.

for my requirements its perfect basicly, lightweight shrafting, bit of carving, bit of splitting, bit of chopping, does all realy well and keeps an awsome edge.
