Not my style of Victorinox. I have some Spyderco knives of similar design.

Oh. Truly a wonderful collection despite the challenges of easy access to the range and availability within India.

Hats off.

How have you acquired the exclusive collection thus far? Travels? Online? Friends? I hope you don't mind my asking.

Hi, most pieces were collected online and a few through friends sending out to me; have to painstakingly wait for a piece to show up for months or even more than a year. Most of the pieces are not available here in India for purchase.

Agreed. Makes them more valuable. Its certainly a bug, this collector's bug. Why do you think acquisition and later the pleasures of the steel - possessing, looking, feeling. .. is it a disease?[emoji51]

Good going. I was almost certain that I was a loner in collecting Victorinox tools. Good to see like minded people. Is that a Leatherman Wave and a Squirt?

Oh there's a few more to this collection, just haven't come about to photographing them. This was an impromptu picture, which did came out quite well, i must say [emoji9]

I'm sure you have more brothers in arms out there I"m sure, just coy-buoys I suppose.

Yes, a Wave, a Squirt Ps4, and a Skeletool.

The Wave came with a factory defect with the main blade getting stuck while opening and the Squirt's file breaking upon use. Service agreed to exchanges the squirt and replacing the Wave with a refurbished one if it us irreparable. Boohoo.

Victoria has been kinder to me.
