Favorite SAKs for EDC, please vote (mark 2)

[Luke_Chambers]

A few days ago I started a vote for the best Victorinox Swiss Army Knife for every day carry. Unfortunately, many of the most favorite knives weren’t in the poll, namely the ELECTRICIAN. So, this is a revised list. One-liners weren’t included, because imo the essence of a SAK is in its tools. I didn’t include the wallet-size or keyring size knives, either.

It was rightly pointed out that the CADET at 84 mm is smaller than the other Alox knives of 93 mm.

sticking with the Huntsman as my primary choice.

You’ve acknowledged the popularity of the Electrician but it’s not on the revised list.

Thing is, I don't regularly EDC a SAK. HOWEVER, an Alox Farmer is in the kitchen drawer and is very handy about the house and if going on a journey it's in the pack no question. Another SAK , that unhappily is no longer made, the Pruner single spring 2 blades does get some carry as it's slim and a small Pruner blade is amazingly useful.

I know it is hard to create a poll, but some of your groupings are off.

The Alox Cadet is part of the 84mm family, https://www.sakwiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=Victorinox+84mm, and is my primary daily carry.

The Pioneer, Electrician, Rancher are 2-layer variants of the 93mm family, https://www.sakwiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=Victorinox+93mm

Then you have the 3-layer 93mm versions, Farmer, Pioneer X, and a 4-layer, the Farmer X (saw and scissors).

As mentioned above, I go with the Cadet for daily carry. Sometimes if I want the awl, I will carry a regular Pioneer (my wife appropriated my Electrician). The Alox Farmer stays in the kitchen, and I leave a Pioneer X in my car.

I grouped it with the SOLDIER, imo it is a derivative of this old piece of Swiss army kit (like the CADET).

It'd be more informative, if a few more forum members could vote. Thanks!

I carry a camper everyday at work. Its usually paired with a traditional slip joint. This one is on its third set of scales. Added these plus scales last summer.
