Are you a Swiss Army Knife owner?

[mcniac]

i have almost enough saks, lets say i could carry a different one every day for almost two months without repeating
anyway i still need a few more, i need em because, errrr, something, but i really need em :-D

 

[johnbaz]

I have a few, i just had one of these given to me (love the nail clippers!!)

My oldest i guess is these two, assuming that they count as SAK's...

I'll take some pics of them tomozz (have to be up in four and a half hours for work )

Always good to have! And always good to give.

Just added another to my list.
At my local boot market I picked up an Victorinox Huntsman for princely sum of (wait for it) £1.50.
I left behind a nice collection of other knives, when I got home I mentioned to SHMBO there was a nice pearl handled pocket knife that needed cleaning up.
What! you didn't get it for me she said, being a nice chap and all, I went back and got it for her, also a single bladed stag handled one that needs a clean.
Oh and those cost me, yep you guessed it £1.50 for the two.
Whilst I was there I decided that I need yet another small axe GEM #2 , this time I bartered as two pounds is a lot of money. So saving myself 50 pence, I came home on the day with three good knives and a hatchet for £4.50.

[jonnie drake]

im an ex-sak owner... have had bad experiences in the past especially whilst using the saw blade.

 

[Vildmannen]

I have had a few growing up, but like so many others i turned to the MT once Victorinox released their take on it, actually it was a gift from an ex girlfriends father, great guy he was...

But a few years back I kind of returned to the old standard SAK with a Rucksack model soon followed by a Sentinel and a Pioneer and a Farmer and a Classic...
The first Pioneer was lost to Airport security but was quickly replaced.

I found that though I seldom used the corkscrew on the Rucksak for it's intended purpose, I found it very usefull for hanging my backpack from the closed knife from any old tree nearby.
But as of right now I only seem to use the Pioneer as EDC and switch to the Farmer for when I head for the woods or kayaking.
The Classic is in my keys and gets carried every day.
The Sentinel was more because I was curious about the liner lock.

I used a cheapy copy for a while, but the joints loosened up to the point where I could open the blade by holding the knife vertical. then I used my leatherman clone, which is still going. when that needs replacing I'm looking at getting a proper SAK (either vitrinox or wenger)

I ended up replacing my leatherman-alike with a proper leatherman, which is still going strong.
but, not 10 minuits ago, I ordered myself a victorinox huntsman from amazon, to take out with me to peru this summer. I'm figuring if the customs guys or baggage handlers get light fingered, I'm out £20 odd quids worth of knife, rather than £60 odd.
of course, there's allways the possibility I like it so much it replaces the leatherman when (if) it gets home, or even becomes an EDC item :yikes:

 

[naefearjustbeer]

I recently got a new SAK as I noticed all my other blades are either locked or are fixed and after browsing this and other forums I decided I had to get something legal to carry in my pocket. I have probably carried a knife of some sort most days of my life since I was about 10 years old. From various hobbies and work all require a blade of some sorts. I never really gave it much thought until recently my leatherman wave was in my pocket or bag pretty much every where I went apart from the pub!

 

[Westnorfolk]

I have recently got my first sak, my father was worried about me walking around norwich with an opinel 8 so he bought me a victorinox farmer. I have to say i am chuffed to bits with it, i have never been hard on knives working more in whittling way rather than hacking at it, so the non locking blades are fine. for working around my small holding i still use my stu barker sheeps foot, trevor ablet folder and i have just "accidentally" bought a voctorinox hiker. i can see what people mean by sak addiction.

 

[Ph34r]

Saks fly my roflcopter. They are so bad, which is why I (and everyone else) uses a leatherman

 

[hiho]

I use both, can't justify a Leatherman in town...

You can saw off the locking mechanism.

 

[ProjeKtWEREWOLF]

I have a Vic Officer. Came free with my 3D Maglite & Solitaire. It's ok. I like that I can carry it where my Leatherman can't go.

 

[Arizroughrider]

I have the Rucksack model with a locking blade.
