Hi , as I am also in the market for a Victorinox SAK , ( probably going to go for the Alox Farmer model ) as its quite a bit cheaper but just as useful as the Farmer X model apart from the scissors , I thought I would let members know that its going for £26.95 free P+P at a UK company called FFK .
SAK seems decent price

I get lots of tools from ffx and they are great, if a little patchy with what is in stock (ie if you need part of an order the same week, then phone to check or they will wait a month until everything arrives with them!).
They are also the cheapest place i've found for certain SAKs.

Swisstool actually have the Victorinox Farmer Alox for £24.99 free P+P but none in stock at present .
I have both the Farmer Alox and the Farmer X Alox - they're what I call 'my dress knives' (i.e. they are what I have with me 'in town'). I definitely think it's worth getting the X; I probably use the scissors more than any other tool 
Edit: however, I do accept, that is a lot of money for a pair of scissors!

I usually have two, a Farmer and a Classic SD. I use the nail file & toothpick quite a lot.

Yeh Broch , £26.25 for the Farmer but an incredible double the amount for the scissors version , how do they justify that ?I admit it would be nice to have the scissor function but for what I need it for in the top pocket of my daysack the Farmer should suffice .I have both the Farmer Alox and the Farmer X Alox - they're what I call 'my dress knives' (i.e. they are what I have with me 'in town').

Got to say after looking at the Victorinox Ranger Wood model on youtube vids , if I still spent time in the woods and forests bush crafting , I would definitely buy one as a great back up knife
I carry a Hiker every day (we're good friends) and the only extra thing I wish for is scissors because cutting my nails with a blade isn't ideal. That caused me to look at the Farmer X Alox but the price has shot up in the last year so now I've got my eye on the Fieldmaster.
