This is the Swischamp XL, of which I sold about a dozen on eBay, for more than $500 each.





They were only for sale in the EU. Not the US. In 1998, I heard they were being discontinued, so I went on a buying rampage, and sold many years later for huge profit.

This is the Cybertimer - a knife custom made by combining parts from a Supertimer with a Cybertool. The trick is to get the parts brand new, which I can no longer do.



I've been a fan of Victorinox (not Wenger) knives since I was a boy scout. As a teenager, I chose Vic over Wenger based on the design of the can opener. I still think it's clever.

Now Vic owns Wenger.

I have many Swiss Army Knives scattered throughout the house to keep them available for constant use.
