I find myself with certain 'categories' of collecting as I venture further into this hobby. One is what we might call the 'mini knife'. I now have several. One highly rated one from a well-known brand is the Smith and Wesson Beji Folding Knife . This time I allowed myself an exception and purchased it at full price, although that's not saying a lot since it is quite affordable. It retails under $30.
Again, this appears to be a 'vintage' model, possibly from the 1990s. It has a partially serrated blade with the traditional Buck lock back system and synthetic handle in green. Originally it seems that this knife may have come with multiple blades, such as an all serrated one or a saw blade, that could be swapped out according to the owner's needs, as well as a sheath. I do not have the original sheath or additional blades, but I'm sure I could hunt these down on the internet if I wished. The handles came in variety of colors: black, green, orange. Obviously, if I had additional blades the value would increase, perhaps upwards of $60 or $70. I bought this one, along with the Nobleman I already wrote about, for $10 like the other one. Considering its condition, I think I got a deal.
Swiss Army Knives come in a huge variety of models. I currently own only three (Rambler - 58mm, Executive 81 - 74mm, Swiss Army Champ - 91mm). Here is the link for a chart of all the SAK models: https://nobliecustomknives.com/swiss-army-knife-identification-chart/
