I was reading on here the farmer has a better blade(thicker) than the other models, I was just wondering if any of the other models share the same blade!!!
Victorinox, any other models with a blade like a Farmer?

Is the soldier and pioneer the same knife, the farmer looks the same but has a saw which i dont need as they are useless!!!
Oh! I love the victorinos saws, I usually carry a SAK with a saw out of preference. Very handy for whipping a stick out of the hedge nice and neatly, good for notches it figure 4 traps are your thing and with care holding them make excellent scrappers for ferro-rods.

Everybody to their own i suppose, but the saws arent upto anything I would be sawing so its pretty pointless for my uses.
So what is the difference between the pioneer and solidier, they look the same in the pics!!

Don't think it was ever designed to replace a bench saw - still, as you say, "Everybody to their own i suppose".
a bit OT but does anyone ever use the corkscrew anymore?
i have a Spartan on my keys and think the Tinker would be a better idea....(its the same but has a philips rather than the corkscrew)

Neither do I but our tool kit is never far away with a laplander and axe and a chainsaw, as I say, i just dont have a need for the saw, I just need a wee knife to keep handy in my pocket, the leatherman type tools are too heavy!!
OK Johnny, we'll agree to differ! As to your question re Soldier v Pioneer, the Pioneer has a little keyring, the Soldier doesn't. Somewhere I even have a Pioneer that only has a single blade.

If you can find one ( getting quite rare now apparently ) may I suggest the Mauser Officers Pen knife.

Fair enough. About a year ago I decided i wanted to get one to replace one I had as a teenager , I started looking around and found one for very reasonable money within a week. Lucky I guess , but a very good bit of kit with a great saw.
I don't know what this repro one is like , maybe worth a look??

I think they're also made by Victorinox, I have a "Nato" logo'd one I picked up at a carboot sale a few years back for about £4!
Quite a good useable knife, but I don't find the saw a good as the ordinary SAK.
