Are you a Swiss Army Knife owner?

If you wonder which SAK is for you. Talk to the "experts" at http://www.sosakonline.com

I've got a real Victorinox that was a promo gift, and another look-alike. Both are shown in this thread:

One stays in my toolkit at work, and the other is in my carry-about FAK.

Appletree_man - ISTR that the pen, being wider and thicker than a toothpick, has a slightly different plastic bit at the top (grey?) which is a different size and as such won't fit in the slot.

Ah.
Ok many thanks.

I have a Swiss Army knife very similar to the Picnicker (except mine has the addition of a saw). It's really useful and I've used everything on it, I especially like the addition of tweezers and toothpick which are really handy. I take it to work with me even though this is probably illegal as its a lock kinfe, but I really do need it for my job. The only thing I don't like about it is the reamer as it's really difficult to get out.

Just bought three of the Sportsman model for $7 each.

Have a half dozen or so of others including a small one I keep on me any time I'm wearing clothes.

That's like me, whenever I put on pants (trousers for you English folk) I slip my SAK into my pocket.

I prefer a multi-tool like the leathermans

 

[Cephas]

My first and still my only real knife.

I've had a SAK farmer for nearly a year and it is the best EDC i've had. More solid than the standard ones plus the blade is thicker and a wee bit longer

Just found out that mine is called a Rucksack and not a Picnicker as I earlier said.

Wait til you get an OHT!!

I own two swiss army knives, one genuine, one not. I purchased neither; they were both gifts and unfortunately I must say I never carry either and they don't get used. I tried carrying the genuine one in my pack for a few trips but it still got forgotten about and not used.

 

[mentalnurse]

i must have 10 or so but this is my best one and one of my EDC.

I’ve just acquired a Huntsman and it’s great. Had the original small one for years, its now in my FAK.

Repost from the Chrimbo wishlist thread but as it's my SAK owning cherry pop day, what the hell...

I've just bought myself this...

...to go in this...

I've had my trusty SAK (camper I think) since for ever (well, 1986), got it when I joined up. Been a trusty bit of kit eversince, been all round the world with me. Sadly the scissors broke the other week and I was quite concerned that I'd have to retire it (I'm a sentimental old sod ), but thanks to this thread I've realised I may be able to get it repaired!!!:You_Rock_

Hi, nice thread

Mine is the Huntsman 1.3713.

I own it for about 15 years now and only once had to change the scales.

On the saw my name is engraved (I had that done when I was about 16)

I ALWAYS have it with me, except when flying Stupid regulations.

On the topic of SAK, does anybody know where I can get, wooden scales for my SAK?
Sorry if this going slightly off-topic.

I would buy one tomorrow if they'd come up with a one-handed, non-locking, non-serrated one.
