There’s a new, slip-edge display at the Port Hardy Museum. It’s really is a slice, but you’ll have to recess until next week when the museum reopens to see it.

Port Hardy’s own Rick Kirkpatrick is a gatherer of the soldier’s style of Swiss Army knives and has donated dozens to be put on manifestation at the North Island local museum.

“I was always interested in knives and was in Calgary once when a sports against had them on sale,” Kirkpatrick recalled. “I saw a pioneer knife, which is in every respect the same as the soldier’s knife except it had a key chain on it, but that’s what got me started.”

That one knife soon turned into five, then 10, then 20 until definitely, Kirkpatrick said he reckons he has about 50 in the collection.

“The affection grows stronger the more you compile, but there’s not enough time or money in the world to buy every knife you want,” he said.

The soldier’s mode of the army knives — first issued to Swiss soldiers in 1891 — had only a put straight blade, a screwdriver for military rifles, a can opener, an awl and grips made out of dusky oak wood that were later partly replaced with ebony.

This set was a power that I have received 10 years ago. I have no need for it, it must be sold. These knives are sybaritic lift manufactured in Germany and I'm pretty guaranteed that they are tied with the German made knives from JA Henckel (for example, experienced S, 4 Superstar Comet and 5). The set includes the fund, said the 21 knives in the spitting, and a 12-inch dagger that accompanies the set (not pictured).

Please keep this cast as a whole is not in the correct circumstances, the surface of it happening is a bit stained, there is some oxidation, and the local action tax.A new series adapted normally spends several hundred dollars. They are full of flavor, and only a few parts have been cast off. Please release handle to ask first end c longer and investigate the whole.


A little family:

- I do not give rise to wind jammer or "run through" anywhere.
- Sold as is and all sales are final.
- I'm not interested in trades.
- Notes only (no tickets for $ 100 please)....
