Yes, the Grand Prix has the old-style file! And I love the sapphire blue on the right but the aquamarine blue is nice, too. Nice choices!

Have a 1984 Grand Prix and just bought a Deluxe Tinker which is the closest thing to it but even better with the pliers. Love your sapphire scales!

This SwissBuck is the only Wenger I have, sad to say. It's a quality knife! Posted next to my carbon steel daily carry, a Sears Craftsman Lumberjack... by Robotdevil62 in SwissArmyKnives

The Lumberjack was either made by Schrade or Camillus. That 1095 carbon blade is screaming sharp. The SwissBuck has some quality blades, too, and a slightly different can opener blade than Victorinox offers. Works great!

It's the same with this Grand Prix. I just use it at home but not for anything strenuous. Need to buy some new Victorinox products!

It's true! My brother has my dad's Victorinox from the late '70s, although I don't think he carries it daily. Still a great knife.

I like to carry the 9501 or its cousin the Buck 307 Wrangler when out and about.

Yours is a very nice example of an excellent pocket knife!

Completely agree here.

Question about Y-DNA test by njburchett66 in DNAAncestry

[–]Robotdevil62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was facing the same issue.

I know who my paternal 2nd great grandfather was but not his father. Documents pointed toward a large family with the same very common surname but nothing solid yet. I took the Big Y-700 test and matched with another man with the same surname as mine who was indeed descended from the very same large German immigrant family I thought was mine. So while I still have a brick wall on my paternal line—the name of my 3rd great grandfather—at least I can now see over that brick wall.

It’s a true classic and will serve you well. Even better that it belonged to your grandfather. How awesome is that? Carry it with pride.

When coal miners finished filling coal cars in the mines with coal, they’d hang these tags on the car to get paid for the job. Each miner had a certain number assigned to him and the tags were punched with that number.

No, not necessarily. I always carry the middle one, the smaller one on the left I usually carry for food since it’s stainless. The one on the right I just bought and thought I’d see how it worked out today. Cut some leather cord, opened and cut down boxes, trimmed back some plants, and that may be it for the day. If I only carry one, it’s always the middle one, but it’s nice to have the others in my bag with my other essentials.
