Would you guys help me decide between the Explorer and the Huntsman versions.

Around here, the answer to your question is simple....... ::)
There's no such thing as "Too pretty to carry".  There's only "Too pretty NOT to carry"...... >:D

yes, the standard answer round here is to get both :D failing that I much prefer the Huntsman.  The saw makes it a much more universally useful tools in both urban and rural settings. :)

... whereas I prefer the Explorer (or even better a Yeoman if you can track one down) for urban, and my own choice for a SAK with saw for rural would be a Pioneer Harvester. Short answer is there is no right answer only what's right for YOU! That's why everyone here buys lots of different things and all has different favourites.

 Buy both  :P :D :D :D

 :( Interlaken only sells the whole set and as I dont have 800 CHF, Laussane and Geneva are my last chances.

The whole set of Battle series SAKs? Cool, but pricey :)

Congratulations on finding that knife at a decent price. For me the downside to carrying it would be the lack of keyring and tweezers. I like my key rings, and tweezers are pretty much indispensable for an EDC. But you definitely scored a great SAK. Please post some pics once you figure out how to do it.
Shoot low, they might be crawlin'
