It looks like a new model will come out for 2016, the Walker:

It looks like a Lumberjack, but whether a re-issue or not, it's great to see something like this.
 
Old model brought back with a new name: 84mm two layer SAK, a Bantam with a wood saw. Old name was Lumberjack: nylon scales (with tweezers and toothpick), Alox and cellidor scales (no tweezers and toothpick). Walker has cellidor scales with tweezers and toothpick, possibly renamed to avoid confusiion. I'm waiting for MacGyver's guest appearance on The Walking Dead but nothing yet.

Forums member Swiss Bianco has made Alox Lumberjacks in a variety of colors, using My First Victorinox Plus

which has been discontinued, so no more Alox Lumberjacks for the time being. There are still a few silver Alox Lumberjacks for sale in Swiss Bianco's web store (US buyers only) and on eBay.

Nice little knife there, slim and packing some useful tools! The wood saw on my Farmer has seen some use that's for sure.
 
That looks real handy it is nice to have a saw, I have a huntsman that the saw is broken off of because I used to cut down trees with up to 3 inch diameter with it when it was all I had in the bush, nothing against the knife though I am sure that's not exactly its intended purpose:p
 
Recently got one. Slapped some black scales on as I prefer them. Wish they would offer more in black.

 
I love it, but wish it was on the 91mm frame. If it was I would be ordering one immediately. I love the saw and love the combo tool. My dream tool would be this on the 91mm or 93mm alox frame with the addition of the awl from the Farmer model.

According to SAKwiki.com

Bushcrafter is a special run 93mm Alox model originally produced for Swiss Bianco, a US and Switzerland based custom knife reseller, designer, and manufacturer. Having only 2 tool layers, this model offers a woodsaw in a minimally sized configuration. First named and produced in 2009; this configuration is not known to have previously existed.

Close but no combo tool.

Classic 66 was a Basic 66 plus tweezers and toothpick. Victorinox kept the Classic 66 when they bought Wenger in 2005, replacing Wenger's wood saw

with their own (a small improvement).

Too bad it had to go. The Evolution Junior 9 might have potential for modification.
