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

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

Fill your boots.

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 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.

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.

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. 😁👍

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!

Classic SD,

Ambassador,

Alumnus,

Compact,

Climber LNF,

Custom Ranger,

Custom CyberTool,

Ranger Grip 78.

I have over 40 different Victorinox SAK's, but I always carry at least one of these eight.

bought for 10$ at antique store i think it’s an escort but no screwdriver tip on nail file

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

Am I the only one who really doesn't like to see painted alox scales? I mean, those nail polish, vintage looking, used feeling, kind of paint?

I started the year with I think 4 SAKs and ended up with 15 by the end of it

1. Classic SD alox lime twist
2. Classic SD alox
3. Classic SD
4. Signature
5. Rambler
6. Manager
7. Cadet
8. Waiter
9. Waiter with custom plus scales
10. Walker 11.Sportsman
11. Sportsman #2
12. Spartan
13. Compact
14. Companion

For my next one I'm thinking Explorer or even a swiss champ. I'd like a model with the inline phillips but I'd also like a model with the pliers. The champ of course has both, but then again it is much larger than any SAK than I currently have and I don't like having things on my belt. Also a Champ is about 2-3x the price of an explorer...

I can't find the cadet that's already assembled so has anyone tried to assemble the cadet with this flytanium set on their own?

I like to wear a mini SAK of some sort on a lanyard as my EDC & my white rambler is one of my faves, thought I’d share.

Picked up a used explorer on eBay with a blunt blade and wonky scissors but the Phillips is awesome on this thing. Put a small amount of shrink tubing inside the leatherman bit adapter and it fits very snugly to accommodate a makeshift cybertool. Very useful for projects around the house, but maybe a little heavy for EDC

How come I don’t seen any of these posted on this thread?

Here is my list.

• Large Blade • Small Blade • Can Opener • Bottle Opener • Scissors • Woodsaw • Screwdriver • Magnifying Glass • LED Light • Corkscrew • Awl • Hook • Tweezers • Toothpick • Pen

The closet thing they have to this so far is the Huntsman Lite, but if they removed the extra screwdrivers and replaced them with a magnifying Glass and added a pen to it, then it would be PERFECT.

What would YOUR ideal knife have?

Got a climber off of eBay (to go with the sportsman I recently bought off eBay). This will be my garage knife. Help with bike repairs, etc. lovin it!

question

i love this knife. i have the annual editions and those i will not change. this one is part of my edc rotation. i'm not a fan of blasted or tumbled finishes. how difficult/safe (for the knife) is it to drive out the pivot? what diameter is the pivot? is there a pivot bushing? could i tap the pivot on one or both sided and use screws? i want to give the blade a hand sanded satin finish.
