You have some good acquisitions in your collections @Abhiram!

Do the respective Army issue SAKs sell in the market or did you have to persuade officers to spare with them?

Also, I'm desperately looking for a Victorinox Tinker. Where could I acquire one from?

Army issued knives rarely sell in market, but they pop up on auction websites sometimes.
