Your favorite SAK.

has anyone noticed that the scissors on the victorinox are plain edge and the wegner are serrated? My favorites are the alox farmer and the one-handed trekker.
 
I have noticed the difference in scissors morvenus, I originaly liked the design of the ones on wenger because they are "springless" but after much use find the vic's to be sronger and the spring to be longlasting.

My new "favorite" sak or saks are my new fieldmaster and swisschamp I got from felinevet shop,great fokes to do buissness with.I just used the swisschamp to put a new computer chair and bookcase together,made it fun!

Their all my favorites:D

Yeah the Wenger scissors are ok but i prefer the Vics too because you can easily get replacements springs when the spring breaks or wears out.
 
I just picked up a huntsman last night, and put it along with my bk7 in its pocket, great little knife, almost like it more than the oh fireman :rolleyes:
(plus those sisors are awsomely usful :D)
 
Super Tinker is my favorite. I've carried SAKs since I was a teenager. The Phillips screwdriver on the Super Tinker is a lot more useful to me than a corkscrew, and I probably use the scissors more than anything else.
 
Hi all,
This is my first post to this forum.
I have several Victorinox, and compared to my one Wenger, I find them far superior in terms of fit, finish and edge holding.
I guess my two favourites at this time (can never make up my mind, LOL) are a Driver (Economy Recruit) and a Sportsman. I haveodified both to a "one arm jack" pattern, which involved filing a notch in the end of the blade do that the blade can be opened using one hand and a clothing seam.
While neither knife is as fast to open as a current "one-hander" I can open them with one or both hands as the situation dictates. Also the shorter size of the knife makes them "sheeple" friendly. The only thing I would like different about both knives would be the inclusion of a wood saw.
I have some outdoor experience gained from growing up on a farm and camping and find the information I have gained from this site really valuable.
Thanks to everyone for your fine information and input.
Neil
 
Just took a long, hard look at the Victorinox website. Found two things of interest:

1) For those of you who listed the Huntsman as your favorite SAK (like I did) but would prefer a philips head screwdriver instead of the corkscrew, get the Fieldmaster model. Except for that one difference, it's the same knife.

2) A Swiss Champ will set you back $86. For almost double the price, you can get a leather belt pouch and a handful of accessories to go with it. The Champ S.O.S. as it's known looks like a winner! But no way are those accessories worth $82.
 
I dont realy go much for SAKs but I have a liking for this one on ebay .

Item number 290102346565

Or an another alternative if you like the huntsman and still want the philips buy the new Huntsmans lite. That way you get corkscrew and a philips The lite has an added layer with a good LED and a philips! I just bought a spartan lite and the lite is surprisingly good, the batteries are easily accessible too.However that added layer is about the same thickness as the scissors and saw layers put together.
The swiss champ is a great knife you can get it alone easily for under 50$ U.S on ebay. Actually heres a fellow bladeforums member who has it brand new for 39.50 U.S

I like carrying two pocket knives usually a micra (on keychain/neck lanyard) and a OH Trekker or Farmer (in pocket). But if i was limited to just one SAK/knife period then i'd probably take the champ (carried in a sheath). If it was a pocket carry only then probably the Huntsman or maybe Huntsman lite.
