I wore them to a book signing one night and a political fund raiser the next. So close to so many politicians, armed, dangerous, and off my medication. Just kidding about the medication. I was drinking a beer when all they served was tea. So did my sister. Somebody's gotta do it! Well, they said it was a party fund raiser. I went to UGA. I know that party is a verb. LOL

Sounds like "not a suggestion" to me, Vic! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I'm really impressed with mine - if anything for the toothpick.)
That is a great deal at Amazon - I paid $28 for mine (but I had instant gratification and walked out of the store with it!!) Yeah, but if I was going to suggest a great survival pocket knife, it would be the OHT. But that would be wrong! Instant gratification is worth waiting for.
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

And, they're discontinued - so the fact that the economy is pretty "slow" here helps - the old models are still in stock!!

Alcohol Tobacco & Firearms should be a convenience store, not a Government Agency.

Any reason why Victorinox would discontinue such a popular & useful knife?

just my opinions, when I first saw it (Dice said the same thing) it looked "not perdy" and with so many popular one hand openers, with nicer blade holes and overall appearance; spyde, BM. I wonder if it sold enough units to keep it around.

Its an excellent knife though - and I think it looks great now that I realize how functional it is! I'm pretty confused as to why they got rid of 90% of the Alox models, though. The only big one left is the Soldier (and they can't change that one <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> )
