I've sent it to Vic repair, but it hasn't returned yet.
I'm very interested to hear how this all works out if you're willing to post about it when you get your tool back.

Yes!
Bought it from a guy who buys airport seized lots in Germany together with an Explorer and Evogrip 18 (yellow) for the retailprice of just the evogrip (which still has factory oil by the way)
The original scales were bleached by sunlight so these scales came at exactly the right time! :2tu:

Why are they all pointing at that poor 58mm? Has it displeased its master by being sawless?

It's not easy making decent pics of this. But I think you'll get the idea.
The problem with my saw teeth is that they are blunted at the top. The teeth no longer have sharp tips. Do you think this method of sharpening will fix that?

Yes!  :tu:

It might take a while, but sharpening saws is in many ways not that different to sharpening anything else. You are just trying to recreate the same profile deeper in the steel, so the new points are where the old flats are  :cheers:

I've come to a realization and I'm not sure I like it. Well, specifically, I think I don't like the way the Pioneer X makes me feel. Years ago, I EDC'd a Pioneer but put it away because it doesn't have a saw. Then I started longing for a Farmer; planning on carrying that exclusively for awhile. Well, I still haven't picked up a Farmer yet and then Vic turns around and offers the Pioneer X. Saw or scissors? Scissors or saw? Either or...one or the other? Makes me want to jump off a building! (But onto a warm, soft cloud of marshmallows and chocolate syrup of course).
So, I've come to the point where I have to admit that the scissors are more useful in my daily life than a saw. But I feel "unprepared" without a saw.
I'm starting to think the saw has been giving me a false sense of security, perhaps.
Anyone else bashing their head in over the saw?

I guess what you said there would explain why I got myself a Locksmith.  I can carry a Climber/Compact then when I really need a saw, I’d go 111mm which I guess makes sense coz it’s longer.

Sometimes it’s also being torn between wood saw or metal saw hence the Locksmith.

Seriously though, just the Farmer X would be awesome.
Been holding back on the PX, while hoping they'll release it.

Agree... I like the SAK saw, but don't need it for every day carry. The PX hits the sweet spot for me.

I honestly like the feel of the bigger girth SAKs when it comes to the saw, probably the Craftsman best of all.

I've come to a realization and I'm not sure I like it. Well, specifically, I think I don't like the way the Pioneer X makes me feel. Years ago, I EDC'd a Pioneer but put it away because it doesn't have a saw. Then I started longing for a Farmer; planning on carrying that exclusively for awhile. Well, I still haven't picked up a Farmer yet and then Vic turns around and offers the Pioneer X. Saw or scissors? Scissors or saw? Either or...one or the other? Makes me want to jump off a building! (But onto a warm, soft cloud of marshmallows and chocolate syrup of course).
So, I've come to the point where I have to admit that the scissors are more useful in my daily life than a saw. But I feel "unprepared" without a saw.
I'm starting to think the saw has been giving me a false sense of security, perhaps.
Anyone else bashing their head in over the saw?

This is why we need a Farmer X.  :ahhh
You hear that Victorinox?  :rant:

By the way, what about a Farmer and Classic combo? Would that work for you?
This is a nice combo! O usually pair my farmer with the LM style ps. Not as good scissors but you also get a small plier

[It's not failure if you learn something from it]

Hmm...well...yeah, that might work--but--it gets me back into carrying 2 SAKs at once and don't like to do that. Since I carry everything in pockets (I don't often lug a bag around, and I believe in having your kit ON YOU so you won't forget it or lose it), pocket space is prime real estate. I have EDC'd a SAK and a Merkator cat knife (to have a locking blade cutter on me) in the past, but 2 slip joints? Meh...I don't like it.

Well, as I had mentioned earlier in the thread, I had severely dulled my SAK saw blade by accidentally cutting fireplace brick with it. I took a miniature diamond file set and attempted to sharpen it.
Bottom line: WAY TOO time consuming and laborious. I think a busy person is much better off either sending the SAK in for Victorinox to replace the saw or just getting another SAK.

I suppose if you have lots of free time or you enjoying sharpening for a hobby, you might like working on it. Given the condition of my saw, it would take well beyond 30 minutes. I don't have an extra 30 minutes of idle time.
So...sharpening the saw myself isn't going to work out.
