First Victorinox! What was yours?

Mine was a Huntsman. I'd bought a load of camping gear for a trip I was planning and thought it would be good for opening cans and such.
It was my main knife for 20+ years till I really got the SAK bug, now I've over a hundred SAK's and the Huntsman is in my safe. It's still in great shape.
 
My first was a Climber. Carried that first one for a good 10 years. After losing it camping a few years ago, I replaced it with a Super Tinker since I almost never used the corkscrew.
 
A Mechanic? or Craftsman? kinda like a Champ on a diet. About the same time I one a one hand open Trekker right here off BF from someone's giveaway. Love'm both
 
Mine was a Champ about 15 years ago. It was stolen from me a couple of years later.
 
Mine was a black recruit carried it for over a year and now it's been part of my EDC rotition for the last two years it's one of my favorit knives.

I wanted a black one, but I just bought a red one so I could walk out of the store with it.
 
My first was a black classic years ago. Didn't have it long and didn't realize what I had once it was gone. Later on I got a climber and was glad to have it. Pretty much been a sak guy ever since.

Bought my first one while stationed at Camp Pendleton 30 years or so ago,it was the Swiss Champ.I lost that knife on a Greyhound bus a long time ago.I have long since replaced it and have added many more.There is nothing quite like a Vic SAK.
 
My first Vic was a Sprartan. Bought it at Skytop lodge in the Poconos with birthday money when I was 13.
I traded or sold it a few years later when I thought it wasn't cool any more. I sure wish I had it back!
I'm 45 now and I always have a Vic on me some where, usually an Executive or Golfer.
 
A Vic budget camper was and is my fist SAk. flowed by many but never compared by the tech-team of a Spatan and a one-hand Forester!
