Bicolor Farmer scissors and firesteel

Once again I made a Farmer with scissors. This time I added a fire striker to the back. I used to different scales. The frontside scale is an old red with the silver cross, while the backside scale is a new silver one with Victorinox shield. The steel striker covers the back spring and the gap which is caused by using a 91mm backspring for the scissors.

The steel striker is made by Mr. Fishlin. He also made the steel strikers for the 93mm Alox soldiers which were produced by Victorinox in 1996 – 2002.

The Alox Cadet is a 84mm knife made by Victorinox. It has a mainblade, nailfile, cap lifter, can opener and keyring. It’s a nice little knife for every day carry. But I wanted to make it even more usefull and suitable for outdoor activities. Therefore I added a wood saw and a steel striker to it. Now it’s a traditional flint and steel striker knife you can use to start a fire.

The steel striker is made by Mr. Fischlin. He also made the steel strikers for the 93mm Alox soldiers which were produced by Victorinox in 1996 – 2002.

I did two pieces. One with standard silver scales and one with black scales.
