Folder with just a knife and saw?

I used to carry the Mercury every day. Now it lives in my truck as a back up. Lovely little tool.

Victorinox German Army Knife (GAK) would be my suggestion.

Been looking for this combination of blade, saw and awl.
As long as it’s not that crappy corrugated blade, ugh.
Can’t be arsed with these multitool things, I know they’ve a purpose but not for me generally speaking.

Don't whatever you do get the Miltec version, not all GAKs are alike.

there seem indeed several makers for them, the one i got issued was brandnew and made by victorinox-- which meant it sadly got lost as soon as i found out i only wished they'd skipped the bottle opener and made the saw full length...

 

[Buckshot]

Do Victorinox still offer the option of making your own as part of the guided tour of the factory?
IRRC they used to.
Expensive knife unless you're looking for an excuse for a holiday in Switzerland ...

No, it's a a normal straight blade, not serrated - see my photo earlier in the thread.

There's a few videos on them on YT. Some of the makers are ok, the Chinese knock-offs are pretty terrible, but universally recognized that Victorinox made the best ones, which isn't a surprise to anyone.

Problem with the new GAK / Soldier from Victorinox is that it isn't UK legal. Blade is too long and it locks, so you need to find the original 108mm version.

Joker make a nice one. Not budget level but nicely made.

Joker NO136 Canguro III Folding Knife

The Joker NO136 Canguro III Folding Knife is a practical outdoor tool with the looks and quality to match. There are two blades; one standard 1.4116 stainless steel with a plain edge and one bone and wood saw with a bottle opener included

That is nice, I am familiar with the brand, Spanish i believe? I’ve never seen it handled one but that does look very nice i must say.

I thought the same. Buckshot said he had the same model and the saw wasn’t great for wood though, sadly.

Seems Walter Röthlisberger has retired. He made traditional looking pocket knives.
Though seems he handed it over to

Yup, that’s the preference, the newer ones don’t have that shape unfortunately.

I have one of these, decent little package. The saw seems at effective as a SAK one, if not better.
