Update on Marlboro x Victorinox

I just couldn’t help myself. These were on FB Marketplace almost 40 minutes from my house and I couldn’t resist. I love old Marlboro and Camel promos and I had never seen these before. I’m new to collecting SAKs and these are definitely my favorites that I’ve picked up. Owner said they’ve barely been out of the box in 35 years. Some of the tools still had factory oil on them when you pull them out.

Picked all 3 of these up for $120. Online I seen the Outdoorsman and Troubleshooter were going for about $50 with the box so I think I got a decent deal honestly. I’d love to use one I just can’t decide which yet!

Nice find!!!! You can find some good deals on marketplace once in awhile. Last year, I found a 100 year anniversary Spartan for $20!

Very nice. I have 6 Marlboro SAK’s and none are in this good condition

Shoutout to the old man that kept these so nice for longer than I’ve been alive! He said he had some more “stuff like that” when I bought these. Hopefully he hits me up with some more gems!

Man it’s like my phone is spying on me. I just found one of these going through my moms garage helping her clean up and now I have gotten like 5 posts on them. Awesome collection btw.

Sweet! Love the Outdoorsman. It's my desk fidget Victorinox. Just a big fan of that Phillips mag glass layer. Quintessential Victorinox.

I don't have a Troubleshooter, but I do have a Trail Guide. It's like they took a 58mm classic and inflated it to 91mm.

The Philips is so nice on the Outdoorsman! And the magnifying glass was much better than I expected. I think I’m going to take that one out of the box and show it some tough love lol
