(Image removed from quote.)

Here's a video comparison of the two ratchet's I found on youtube:

I think the only one that I found is on their website. It seems pretty cool. If you google it i think a mto discussion from 2010 comes up. That should have a link to a review of it.

Actually there may not even be any video at all. I plan on posting a review on it once I get it and have the time.

Thx SG... Hope you get well soon...

Looking at the pics, the only thing Vic change were the can opener and awl... looking at other vic evo models shared in this forum, I see the scissors are still Wenger's self sharpening one. Toothpick and tweezers are now based on Vic's too right...

Genious...

Yes, the scissors are the same and don't forget the way the scales are made/fitted....the Wengers overlap the liner edges and the Vic butts up to them. The overlap (and the flush awl design) necessitates a scale cutout to access the Wenger Awl.

Poncho asked how thick the custom Master Ranger (Ranger with inline phillips) is...

Here are the comparison pics

(L-R) Ranger, Master Ranger, Handyman, Champion


Obviously the Master Ranger is thicker compared to the Ranger since adding the inline phillips layer.


Master Ranger is thinner than the Handyman. Difference being inline phillips i/o plyers.


Master Ranger is also thinner compared to the Champion since it lacks the fish scaler.

PIC REQUEST , Please n Thanks in advance!


58mm EXECUTIVE & 58mm COMPANION = SIDE BY SIDE  :cheers:
SAKwiki:
The Executive 58mm is a very rare older model Victorinox Swiss Army Knife. It should not be confused with the very common 74mm Executive knife. The 58mm Executive very closely resembles the modern day Companion. Discontinued model.

Executive (74mm), Ambassador (the black one) and a SD.

The thickness is really similar in the three knife. The Executive is a little bit thick, but in hand or pocket I can't feel differece.

The small blade of Executive appear identical to the one of sd.

So if I understand this right, a Rambler is actually thicker than an Ambassador?  :o
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!

I've got a manager (the one in the middle),  that is similar to the rambler plus the pen, and I can confirm that the ambassador is the slimmer than the manager.

It looks to me that a Rambler(slightly slimmer than a Manager) is almost the same thickness as an Executive.
Very interesting, thank you for the pictures!  :cheers: :cheers:

To add to the above, here are the side by side pics of the classic, rambler, ambassador and executive...

Thickness measurement of the Classic

Thickness measurement of the Rambler

Thickness measurement of the Ambassador

Thickness measurement of the Executive

Despite its larger size, the 74mm models are thinner than its 58mm siblings... This is atributed to the fact that 74mm scales are thinner...

That may or may not depend on the age. I have a pretty old 74mm SAK (I think it's an Executive, not sure :think:) that has very thin scales. I think I posted a pic years ago :P

As for the 58mm, retractable pens and Led lights will make the scales more thicker

Is someone able to produce a side by side comparison photo between a black Swiss Railway Soldier ("black beauty"), a red alox soldier from 1977 and an orange Victorinox Wilderness?

No one?  :cry:
