Wenger and Victorinox are both official Swiss Army suppliers, although Wenger now is owned by Victorinox. Number 3 looks like the Wenger Commander. I am not sure which Victorinox model number 4 is. The other two are probably cheap generic Swiss Army style knives.

what iamerror said :)

I can confirm that #1 is a POS... these are for sale here at the local $-store (€-store actually). I bought one once... tossed the knife in the bin immediately, as I only bought it for the nylon sheeth that came with it.

Mikovs are very nice knives made in the Czech Republic. I am holding a stag handled Mikov switchblade as I type this. It is a beautiful knife. I believe they are using Mikov switchblades in the new James Bond movie.

sold it all to cy ....prolly just wants that one big saw blade :) ....i was looking at it again and i put it to my forearm to feel its teeth, it definitely feels like i could saw off my arm or fingers at the very least with this blade, usually the saw blades i see on multitools are typically dull or same pattern this one though caught my eye

#4 is a Victorinox Safari Trooper. The 108mm knives like that are no longer produced, and one in that condition usually brings about $35- $40.

just opened up the box..

#4 has the sharpest saw I've ever seen on a pocket knife. comes with a protective cover over saw teeth.

all the knives are made of highest quality, except Chinese version and it's not that bad either.

thank YOU! expect a super deal, if you ever need any ARC parts.
