Swiss Army Knife

[Eric Gaumann]

Here's mine. Nothing special but I'm proud of it nonetheless. I notice the price for these increases slowly but surely.

Anybody have some other Swiss daggers to share on a slow day?

Hi Eric

I could get pics of mine, I was wearing it proudly for more than 15 years during my army time.

What is the retail price for those "cheese knifes" as we call them in the corps.

Best regards

I saw two on eBay.USA sell for $225+/- and one *not* sell for $179.00. One on eBay.co.uk didn't meet reserve at 35UKPounds (Buy It Now 215UKP).

I'm pretty sure I got mine for less than $100 four years ago.

Wow, thats incredible. I will have to contact a friend of mine who is dealing with that kind of militaria stuff here from Switzerland, if I remember well he tolde a couple of months ago that he can have those daggers for 160 US$.

Happy you with your buy, I was sweating for my dagger at the officer academy a lot !

Best regards from Switzerland

PS: by the way your name sounds "Swiss" do you have family frome here ?

I think those numbers I found might be a little bit high. But soon enough they'll get up there.

Are daggers still issued to Swiss officers and noncoms?

My family is from western Germany but there is a Swiss Gaumann family. No relation that I know of but from what I've found they seem to highly intelligent. Moreso than their German (and now American) namesakes.
