Due to a loss of revenue in America’s mines, Ronald Reagen signed two bills authorizing silver and gold coins to be made in 1985.
The Silver Eagle was the first silver bullion made dues to the new bills. This beautiful coin was partly designed by Adolph A. Weinman using the original abverse design (from the walking liberty half dollar he designed).

Hi, Bob with Knives Town here. I’d like to do a review for you today on a knife that has become an icon in the knife world. I’m talking about The Swiss Army knife, the Victorinox knife. This is made by a company that has been in business for over 100 years, they’ve been producing these kind of knives since 1897, so they are indeed the original multi tool. The knife comes in a sleek silver box like this, this particular model that I’m looking at is the Swiss Champ, one of the higher-end models in the Swiss Army knife line. I believe personally it’s the best value for the money, it gives you the most tools for the money.
The knife comes with a pamphlet, that shows all of the different tools, and implements that are available in the knife and further information and warranty and care of the knife and so forth. The Knife comes in the box with a plastic cut-out to prevent it from rolling around during shipping. The knife is 3 and half inches wide, and it’s a very descent weight. It’s got 33 tools on it, so I’ll try to move quickly here.
Starting at this end here with the blade portions. It’s got a pen blade, that the smaller blade, for your small chores. And then we’ve got the large blade, which is about 3 inches long, and that’s your main blade. The steel that’s used by the Victorinox is a very high grade stainless mirror polished, and it reminds me of the true-sharp surgical steel that Case uses on their knives, if you’re familiar with that, very similar to that.
