The OH Trekker + Classic arrived today.  I'm very impressed with the Trekker, very solid feel, not as large or heavy as I feared, sharp as heck.  I'm likely to use it as my weekend carry, with the Huntsman as my weekday companion.  The classic will probably sit next to the shifter in my truck.  Very pleased, my collection now stands at 4 Vics and one Wenger. :sak:

Here are a couple more that I added to the collection:



If you didn't already know they are the Victorinox alox Solo & Victorinox Atlas. I forgot to show the saw blade on the Atlas, sorry. I bought the solo for a "pocket change" knife for times when I'm carrying a multi-tool and just need a single blade to open mail, etc. I really love that knife, and I'll probably buy a couple more of them.

I really like the Atlas becasue it has both the saw and pliers. I use the saw all the time around the house, especially for trimming my palm trees.  :D

Sometimes change is a good thing, other times not so much!

I got to check out the atlas but I wish there was a model with no saw (I'd get both). I edc a mechanic now a day love the thing. A wenger with slip joint pliers is in the future for me (any recommendations in mechanic class minimal?) to check them out. I just got my wenger mini grip and the pliers are nice but not too great in cutting jobs.

There is a Vic Pliers model that is like the compact, with combo blade, bottom mounted Phillips and Plus scales. Unknown what model it is exactly. It may be just a custom model as I only see these with advertising/company name scales. (OK, so I think they were a custom job for Radio Shack) They show up on eBay once in awhile but not very often so they are rather rare or hard to find. Here is a link to see the model I am talking about;

Thx for the link and the 411 that techline vic looks nice, perfect edc. I checked out Wenger and found only serrated Journeyman to be the smallest/thinnest sak with pliers. Can't find one with plain edge.

Here is another Techline Victorinox Pliers Compact model. The seller is kind of odd but I have never had any problems buying from him.

The smallest Wenger I have with pliers is one of the Buck/Wenger SAKs.   Essentially an 84mm Mechanic.

Cost me $5 on ebay.  :D
