Swisstools the different models

[Dunc]

Many people get confused about how many different models of Swisstools there are or didn’t realize there is more then one , so I was asked by Def to say a few words that may be of some help.

Firstly there are three versions of the large Swisstool

The Standard , which has a plain blade and a  serrated blade



Then the X model which swaps the serrated blade for scissors



Then the RS ( Rescue & Security ) which is the same as the X but swaps the file for a curved serrated rescue blade ( belt cutter )



CS stands for corkscrew which is just an add on corscrew which slots in the lanyard hole , and the plus which includes the little wrench .

Good explanation Dunc. Simple as it is, I can remember being confused about the different SwissTool variations for quite some time. For some reason I kept thinking that the SwissTool CS was an entirely different model.

Nope- it's just dressed differently!

Great Post and Great Pictures.   The X tool now serves as my background.

Question:  The chisel/crate opener on my spirit has an extra beveled cutting edge than the one on my xtool.  I find the newer Spirit tool more handy.  Do the newer Swisstools have the corner ground blade.

All I need now are a SwissTool X and a Spirit S model and my SwissTool collection will be complete!

Not that it will stop me from getting more of them down the line!

Hi All,

I'm a new member in this forum, from Denmark, I've had SAK's since late 1999, i hope i do this right i have a quistion regarding accessories for swisstools.

Currently I have a swisstool std. from 99, and a swisstool RS from last year, i'd like the RS the best because of the sissors and the rescue blade, but now to the question, I'm looking for a bit adapter for 1/4" std bits, i have seen in a article here on MT.org that the universal tool adapter from leatherman can be used with the swisstool, I allreasy know that the tool adapter can be used with std bits, but you also have the wrench or ratchet from Victorinox, can they be used with std 1/4" bits, or do i have to buy the solution from leatherman.

Sorry for my bad English.

Regards,
Martin

Sorry for my bad English

Your English sounds fine to me!  Welcome to Multitool.org!

The wrench and ratchet from Victorinox both take standard 1/4 inch bits.  For the best price on Victorinox, contact one of our banner advertisers at felinevet@sosakonline.com and I am certain he will help you out.

The only swisstool that I own is the Spirit.  I like it very very much.  Although, I would like to get one of the larger swisstools because although I love the spirit I like spearpoint blades.  I have no desire to buy the spirit "S" model because I have a spirit and would like to try somthing different.  Besides, it is a Victorinox and I know that it will not disappoint me.

So how about the black swiss tool?    Did it come in all those configurations or just one??
