Swiss Bianco Newsletter Issue 2010, vol. 1 |
We would like to wish you a Happy New Year, and we celebrate with some old stock brand new SAKs I found in Switzerland, hiding on dusty shelves.
The common theme for these SAK is horn (from the cows of Swiss Alps), stainless steel (some gold-plated), and alox.
Since most of these pieces have long been out of production I cannot guarantee their availability, so, if you are interested in a specific model, please email me with the "expression of interest", and I will reply with what I can deliver.
For additional photos of the items featured in this newsletter and more, please visit Swissbianco Photobucket Old Stock SAKs Album and Swissbianco Photobucket SAK Album.

The 93mm Alox Technician, model 0.8100.27, is a 2-layer SAK with main blade, awl,
cap lifter with large screwdriver with wirestripper, and a thin long flat screwdriver.
The scales are silver alox with old-style plain cross.
Compared to the Electrician model, these were produced in much more limited numbers, and are very hard to find. Price is $80 each. |

This 84mm Golfer packs a lot of utility and style into a 2-layer SAK. It includes main blade,
combo tool with wire stripper, scissors, grooved corkscrew, long nail file, toothpick,
and metal-head tweezers.
Natural horn scales make each piece truly unique. Discontinued for quite some time, these are a must have piece for any SAK collection. The price is $132 each. |

I am continuing my preparations for the SHOT show (www.shotshow.org). This will
be the first time Swissbianco exhibits at the world's largest dealer-only knife expo.
This year the show is held in Las Vegas, Nevada. We will be located at Booth L104, if you attend, please stop by.
Also, if there is enough interest, we will make a gathering outside the shot show on
one of the evenings. For 2010, we will work on offering more of the exciting SAK models, including another run of the Firesteel Farmer and Alox Bushcrafter. We will also focus on growing the company and offering more Swissbianco-designed products. Thanks, and Happy New Year! +B |

I am frequently asked what pieces I have in stock and ready to ship. As a result, I
am now posting all the items available for purchase in
+B SAK for Sale Photobucket album,
with the price and stock number of the item listed in the description. As the items are sold, they are removed from the listing, so, check the album often, and act quickly! Please contact me for any question you may have about the pieces listed. Also, starting in 2010, I am now listing some pieces for sale on eBay, as SwissBianco. |
