Besides electronic gadgets, I think most guys are easily fond to hardware utilities and tools as well. When I’m at hardware retailing shop like Ace Hardware, I can easily spend my time there “admiring” at the wide range of tools showcased, even if I have no plan of buying anything :p Some of the stuffs are just too cool to deliver some degrees of visual pleasures.
I’ve been wishing for a Victorinox Swiss army knife for years. However, this is not a cheap hardware in Malaysia. In fact, the price tag is quite steep, easily cost more than RM150 for a simple original army knife.
It came by chance, when Wai Pei told me that the Victorinox Swiss army knife is very cheap in Mexico. Her husband was there for job assignment. Without second thought, I told her to get favor from her husband to help me buying an army knife. No particular model in mind, as long as it features a useful set of tools, and most important, as long as it’s Victorinox haha.
Finally, traveling by air, a brand new set of Victorinox Explorer 1.6703 Swiss army knife has arrived at me on Tuesday 
Many thanks to Kevin and Wai Pei for helping me to fulfill my wish.
I love the model that Kevin has chosen. The Victorinox 1.6703 is featuring a comprehensive set of 12 tools for 16 purposes, all made from the first class stainless steel by superior workmanship.
Some of the tools are designed to fulfill more than 1 purpose. Look at the above picture; do you know that this tool is designed for 4 purposes? Cap lifter, screwdriver, wire-bender and wire-stripper.
So, what’s the price that I’ve paid for?? USD32, hahaha cheap isn’t it?

Awww… Envy!!! I always wanted one of those. Ever since I was a cub scout back in 1974. I remembered seeing it in a Marvel comic (Captain America I think) together with one of those Sea Monkey advertisements… LOL.
But now that I could afford it, I bought a non-Swiss model with pliers from ACE hardware
Got mine from Switzerland itself (or rather Dad bought, got extra, he doesn’t want so pass to me). They will carve your name on the Victorinox army knife itself which I thought was very cool!
hmm.. i think i saw this in my house.. i think it just stuck at somewhere else now.. i didn’t know it is so expensive.. but i do agree it looks fantastic.. =)
