Nice knives!! Nix, you are one year off for my Grail knife, a '67. Still, she's a real beauty buddy!
There is no better feeling than carry a vintage SAK soldier in your pocket. Firstly i thought that i would keep'em under glass, but than i realized that those are meant to be carried and used.When i use them I try to be careful, (never hard use), trying to do least damage and I never give'em to nobody. So far i have only 2 vintage Wenger soldiers. 50 and 55.Sometimes i like to EDC a new one (usually a Pioneer x or swisschamp) depends on my daily duties.
I carry this 49 Wenger Soldier from time to time. Its not the most useful tool though. The blade is excellent, but the flat driver is a bit big and thick for most modern screws.

However, like most variants on the 100mm Soldier frame, I haven't seen one in the flesh--just a knife similar to the Farmer, which added a saw. I was lucky to have found my 1942 Elsener for under $20. '42 catalog page from the Wiki. (Image removed from quote.)
All my knives are users. My red voyageur is no exception
After I give this a good cleaning, and refurbishing, I will be carrying this 84mm Artisan/Fieldmaster I just picked up for $10 this past weekend. I think its a mid to late 60s model.
I'm wondering who has the oldest SAK that is part of their EDC rotation, as opposed to just being under glass in a collection? I still carry my 40 year old Explorer (my first SAK I bought when I was 15). I just bought a 1955 SAK, but it will probably go into a display case. Anyone carrying an older model? Please post pics of your vintage EDC!(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)
I occasionally carry my '66 SI. (Image removed from quote.)All knives deserved to be used once in a while......
