The Old Rugged Victorinox Cross..... Pioneer content, grails and such.... Red Gold...

So happy this one got here!
...
I have had it in pocket for about a week and couldn't be happier with it! It's such a gorgeous knife. I can't stop pulling it out and messing with it.

She found this one yes. Although it was not through a connection. It was paying a lot for something I would love. I however am working on that fabled connection. :)

Kudos to your wife, Gabe; she did GREAT! :thumbup::p:thumbup:
I think I'm getting a serious case of spring fever; your knives in the photo remind me of sunshine and green grass! :D

I'll bet we can guess what knife Gabe will carry on St. Patrick's Day.

What a great knife, the pioneer. Underrated I think. Very solid and packs the most useful tools in compact frame. I'm not a huge fan of SAK knives, but I am a fan of the pioneer. I haven't been able to justify the cost to get a Soldier or older Pioneer. The current ones are just too good.

There are some Really great looking knives in this thread, but I have yet to see The One I am looking for in the wild.
A Wenger Professional 4 layer with awl and the Sacking Needle/Marlin Spike...

Has anyone in here Seen One, let alone had their hands on one?

I am trying to figure how hard is going to be to come by one of these, or if I should relax on actively searching and just be stunned if I come across one.

This thread needed a bump. I was able to get out and do some fishing today. No luck, but it was nice just to be out by the water and feel the breeze on my face. I had my Pioneer today and used the awl to open up an eyelet on a painted jig head.

I envy you. I've only been out once this year and also had no luck.
Carried this today.

Looks like the post could use a bump.

I've been searching for the right Alox for awhile now and was settled on the Bushcrafter or Wilderness but yesterday while at a huge city wide rummage sale found a new in box condition Old Cross Farmer for $25!

What a find.
