Swiss Army Knives roll call.

[AMD64Brunette]

Just received a Victorinox Fieldmaster from Amazon.com.

What other Swiss Army Knives do people have?

I've had a Spartan for decades. Just bought a Classic SD to give as a Christmas gift.

I've had an Ambassador for the past 25 years.

Recently my father went to Switzerland and picked up a Waiter for me.

About 134 for me including Wenger & Victorinox builds. With me now is a Cyber 34, Evo S52, Commander and a rare 82mm Wenger w/Commander tool set. Plus a cheap China knockoff of the 34. I have a hard time passing up a SAK at a garage / estate sale. Because of this I have a double of about 1/3 of the 134 "keepers".

The best one is the Victorinox Swiss Champ XXL. There is no Swiss Army Knife that is more versatile!

If you do not survive with the Victorinox Swiss Champ XXL than it is your personal fault!

I have three Spartans plus a few of the baby ones. My current EDC is the "Classic Alox" in red. When my father passed he had three of them. Coincidentally, I have two sisters so we got one each. I don't know the name of mine but its slightly fatter than the spartan. I keep it on my desk.

I also have a CK lookalike and a Wenger version.

EDC is a Vic Hiker. Picked up an 80's era Huntsman in a bargain bin awhile back.

Probably too many ! Just picked up another Camper ( Cos - it was cheap ) .

Should probably take a picture !

Compact. Everything I need in a travel knife.

I have 2 Wengers and 1 Victorinox. I like the Wenger better - thinner blades, the screwdriver locks when pressed, the old-style can opener cuts better and is more useful as a pick

This is the only Swiss Army knife I have, I bought it in 1983 and carried daily, whilst on duty, for 30 years.

I don't know the model name, one of the scales has cracked and the saw is slightly bent from use. It is also missing the spring on the scissors.

When I bought it was obviously pre the days of multitools being available.

 

[Monocrom]

It would take significantly less time to list all the SAKs that I don't have.
Not even joking.

 

[old4570]

Hmmm , I think Im missing a Wenger ? ( Hard to keep track )

3.3611 x 5 ( Budget camper old symbol )
Lumberjack 2.2313 x 2
Camper 1.3613.71 x2 ( 3rd in the mail I hope )
Wenger x2 ( I thought I had a 3rd )
Hunters x2
Ecconomy x1 ( 1st one I got )
Standard x1 ( 2nd one I got )
1 larger one ( lock blade - early 80's ) Pre name .

Ironically I scored one awhile back off of eBay.

Looks like a Huntsman. Newer ones have a little "parcel hook" next to the cork screw and a sewing eye on the awl - neither all that useful, for the most part.

 

[old4570]

The red Wenger is Much like the Camper and the White one is like a Spartan .
Why do I feel like I am missing a Wenger ? .............................
Anyways , one more Camper in the mail ( one hopes ) .

The economy , was my First ... late late 70's or very early 80 ...
Then came the spartan and after that the larger lock blade .. and lastly a hunter .
Several months ago I got another hunter , and now I dont know which is which ?
The first one from the 80's is in such minty condition .............. Oh dear !
The budget campers are the early versions , no pick or tweezers . ( Yeah I have 5 of them ) Some one in Oz had old stock and sold them at a very favorable price . The Lumberjacks were expensive .. I would love a Walker , but Walkers are even more expensive .

A few of mine:

Farmer (alox)

Hiker (Camper with a Philips instead of a cork screw - I like the ones with the cork screw better)

Huntsman (economy nylon scales)

Hunter (w/ locking main blade and small gutting blade)

All 4 have wood saws.


Some Vic paring knives (the yellow handled one on the top is a Wenger):

 

[yearnslow]

Had this hunter model for 30 years. It's a great little knife.
