Vic/Wen need help on a knife

[MadPlumbarian]

Well i lost my knife  not that i need a new one but im after one that fits my edc, the one i lost  was a Vic Fieldmaster, great knife, the only thing that i didnt like is that fact of having two blades, and on the hook i thought it had a file, but didnt, so ive been thinking about getting another but i did some looking and Wenger makes one very close to what im after, its a little shorter then the FM, but thats ok, and the other thing is that is has the file! on top of that it doesnt have the hook, which i dont need, i was only after it due to having the file, and ive always liked the scissors on Wengers, but i hate there can openers, so which ones better a Wenger Handyman, or a Vic Fieldmaster? any suggestions? JR

I will vote for Vic Fieldmaster because i like their can opener better than Wenger's, but also you may consider the Vic Craftsman. I have one for sell, in very good condition, in my blog.

To big, Im after something with just a Main blade, saw, scissors, bottle opener screwdriver, can opener screwdriver, philips, and nail file, everything else is too much.. JR

I've been carrying a Wenger Traveler as my EDC for years. The shorter length seems to fit better in a pocket. I prefer the Wenger can opener as its similar to the one on the old Imperial Boy Scout knife I grew up with.

Check with Felinevet. He may have used copies of both for less than the price of a new one. That way you can try both and see which one you prefer.

I had a feeling that answer would pop up pretty quickly...

It is the MTo way!

I'd suggest either a Wenger EvoGrip 18 in yellow,or an EvoWood 18(which we dont smurffing get here in the UK!)

Well i went with neither, lol.. i ended up going for a farmer, nothing special, just a silver farmer. i have really started getting into the Alox, last X-mas my boys ended up getting a cadet engraved, and i even had a custom one made, but ive been wanting one a little larger that i can use as a edc and not worrie of scratching, so my wife bought me a farmer for this X-mas,  JR

Great choice! You cannot go wrong with a Farmer coupled with a Classic for the scissors.

The Farmer is the best off the shelf SAK available in my opinion. (I'm gonna duck now!)

I don't suppose anyone has a picture of a Victorinox Tinker (small) next to a Wenger 85mm tool do they?

I really like my Tinker small for office duties but wish it has scissors so was thinking Evo 14???

Thank-you kind Sir, very good. 

The Wenger looks bigger than I expected considering a 1mm difference
