Are you a Swiss Army Knife owner?
- Thread starter Adi007
- Start date
have about 10 or more of them at the moment, I use them for fishing, and sometimes EDC. But I prefer a Opinel because of the carbon steel and locking ring.
I have carried a SAK since I was about ten or so.I still have the Butler (i think it was called) but usually now carry a Manager.What a superb,but tiny knife that has proven to be over the last 12 or so years.Barely a day goes by when I don't use it.It has become second nature to reach into my pocket for it.Fantastic.

i bought my first a few days ago ......from what little ive managed to find out about the model it may be an early spartan ? i dont know..........it has a large and small blade a bottle opener with a small screwdriver.....a can opener with a larger screwdriver .....a corkscrew ( 4 turns and grooved ) and an awl without a hole in it....from what i have been able to find out on the net it may have been made mid 80s ...but then again i could be way out.....on the large blade it has officier suisse on one side and victorinox on the other .....oh and NO tweezers, if anyone can help me identify the model id be grateful
As some of you know I collect Saks
Most recent purchase being a new Alox Farmer in New York
I paid over the odds but hey its got a story and I love it

I was for a long time, but few ten years not, until last night, whilst doing my asda shop at 3AM (i dont sleep much) i saw they had cheapo SAK looking thinks in the diy section....for £2.50, so i thought what the hell lets splash out.
When i got in, i inspected the item...you know what ? its very good, the tools are the standard things, it has one main blade that only took a few minutes to get a very sharp edge on...its definitely worth keeping in my glove box.

Well if they would just make a leatherperson (being PC here) with the awl and the saw from an SAK and a tin opener that actually did, I might agree. Leatherman for pliers, but then a pair of pliers for pliers, I do think the SAK saw takes some beating.
My one gets used regularly.... I am one of those 940 people. I also have a Leatherman and I also use it it. the difference is I can legally carry my SAK on my keyring every day.
Is that a small non locking model or are you lucky enough to have a job that requires you to carry?
Out of interest, any else use a leather man PST? Wifey gave me mine around 2003, i don't think it's left my belt since, might need a new pouch soon, best i learn leather stuff.
It's a Juice. Plenty big enough for anything you'd want to use a multitool for.
After losing my second Swiss Army knife last year, i gave up on them. Obviously i'm not blaming Victorinox for my clumsiness, but i am a true believer that some things are too good for some people, and its quite clear a Swiss Army knife is something i am destined to always lose. So now i have a day-glo orange Mora.....after losing my forest green coloured Mora in?? yes you guest it.....
Perhaps in fact, i shouldn't be allowed to own anything nice ;o)

I have a Tinker and it gets used daily, broke my gerber multi-tool and my leatherman has locking blades so it's not edc
