Just got mine today, on the main blade all my Victorinox have something written but I’m this farther x only on one side

Today I learned that the 91 mm (3.5") models come with a hole for a pin. A straight pin fits into the hole perfectly. If you leave it sticking out about 1/8" then you can get it out pretty easily and it still clears the corkscrew.

Saw this and wondered if it was a good option for EDC?

Used to do this years ago. Posted it on boards when I was more active in collecting Vics.

You longtime collectors might remember me as SAKGuy. 😁👍

This seems to have cropped up in the last few hours:

Fill your boots.

My first truly new Victorinox, as up until now I’ve been stalking eBay for deals.

I started my descent into madness in December, planning on modding a Yeoman from an Explorer and a Compact to be my one SAK, but now I’m not so sure. I’m using the small blade on the Explorer waaaay more than I imagined. BUT, I much prefer the can opener on the combo tool to the standard Victorinox dedicated one. This does matter to me, as I eat cans of soup the two days I’m in the office.

I had an Amazon gift card burning a hole in my pocket, so I figured I’d try out the Compact to see if it fits my EDC needs. I appreciate just how much they managed to cram into two layers, but I’m not sure how comfortable I am without the Phillips diver. No idea what my final EDC will be, but I’m looking forward to the process of finding out!

I’m thinking about getting one or two models from the new 2025 limited colors. Although I love collecting SAKs, I also love using them. So I was wondering if people daily drive these models or you just store them in the box at home just to look at? If it is that much of a “crime” to carry these, I’ll just get the Classic SD to display and get the Pioneer X Alox in the regular color…

My black plus scales finally arrived for my new EDC the Compact. I’ve always been a fans of the black scales and it was always the plan to fit these when I ordered the Compact. Took 5 minutes in total to remove and fit the new scales, I’m very happy with the look.

Jetsetter, Recruit, Tourist, Spartan, Compact, Huntsman, Soldier and SwissCard Classic. Looking pretty good I think! Cheers

I just bought a set of red dual density scales for my Forester. I realized that I've never changed nylon scales. Is there anything special about them or do I just use hot water to remove them like cellidor scales?

Today I learned that the 91 mm (3.5") models come with a pin hole, even if it's not an advertised tool! On my Explorer it's under the corkscrew, and a regular straight pin borrowed from my S.O. fits into the hole perfectly. I'm leaving it so the head is about 1/8" out from the plastic. That makes it easy to get out and still clear the screw part of the corkscrew.
