Thanks, Ron, and I wish you (and everyone else on The Porch) a wonderful weekend as well.
That stag pair you carried yesterday makes me confident my wish will come true.
I agree that American scouts and SAKs are essentially the same pattern, and I like both.
You're probably right about the Vic can opener's superiority because of screw driver capability, but I happened to open a can of dog food Friday with the Imperial BSA scout, and that "hook" worked great!
Congrats on your new customs!
Sounds like you're having a fantastic time meeting folks at Blade!
Harvey and Bruce, thanks for the Alox comments.
I have to admit that I have the dread disease Alox Pox, although my symptoms are not yet as obvious as
@Frailer's!!
Impressive selection of orange Alox!
Bruce, I hope the fishing was fun. I have a Vic Electrician just like yours, and I'm always undecided whether the Electrician or the Farmer is my favorite Alox SAK.
Jeff, that Wenger Canyon looks almost equivalent to a Vic Tinker, a favorite of mine.
The small clip on yours is an interesting variation. And you're probably right about Alox. As far as functionality is concerned, the aluminum covers don't justify the added expense.
They sure do look (and feel) nice, though!
It's all a matter of personal choice, of course. I'm sure GECs are perfect for lots of folks, they just don't happen to fit the knife budget I set for myself.

as sind drei sehr schöne alte Messer, Nicolas!
Wow, Dwight, you seem to have at least one of almost everything!!
Beer Garden of Eden is close enough! Boffo brace of Barlows, Jack!
Exquisite knife, Paul!
Dwight that navaja is fine as dandy line wine!
Thanks, Dean.
I should add a lanyard to take advantage of that feature.
What a striking knife, Dean; glad you like it as much as I like mine!
Compelling shot of a classy knife, Harvey!
What is the background?
Congrats on the Buck 55!
Is a 55 half the size of a 110??
