Love for the discontinued SAKs
on: May 30, 2019, 08:54:10 PM
After a quick search, I saw a few threads about which models have been discontinued or dating discontinued SAKs, but not one dedicated to sharing our love (and of course photos) of our favorites that have been discontinued.

So show those SAKs that you love and Victorinox so cruelly discontinued.  Do you still carry them or are they put away in a collection?

For me I miss the Wenger Pocket Toolchest the most, followed by the Highlander.
Some are put away, others are still carried.

I miss the Wenger lineup.  There was a creativity to them that Vic just seems to lack, in my opinion.

Exactly, it's the reason why I've lost all interest these days.
Victorinox is so dull by comparison.

Still, my wallet is much happier  :D
I don't claim to know it all, but what I do know is right.

I'll snap a pic in a bit.  I really like the Passenger, PTC, Salesman, Hookless Explorer, Hookless Swisschamp, Golfer 84mm and a few others tho I don't have those.

Premier and Pocket Tool Chest.
I've got a Premier, but it's a collection piece, not EDC. 
A real interesting SAK, the design and construction is all Vic, but branded as Wenger.
