Since it’s called the Hunter, then let’s go with the theme then! (Or as much as possible)
Let’s see them

I’ll join up MMR. I tend to prefer the Forester in 111mm but I do have a Hunter and a couple of RAF Hunters for their novelty :cheers:
Welcome aboard sir :salute:
Any pictures of your Hunters? ...I'm especially keen to see the RAF Hunters :popcorn:

Here's my 2008 Camo Hunter. They put a Phillips driver instead of a corkscrew on them.
She's a beauty :tu:
Interesting how they replaced the corkscrew with a Phillips driver, is that a 2008 thing only or just a feature on the Camo Hunter?
Either way, thanks for sharing :cheers:

Only on the Camo Hunter. My understanding is they used left over Phillips and camo scales from the 2008 Malaysian military Outrider contract.

That small serrated blade looks so nice. I've been watching out for a Hunter, even more now that it's a liner lock.
Its a good knife, it takes the more sort of traditional approach, with it's more classic look to it. Where as a knife like the Hunter XT has a very speSmurfpillsed both look, color and tool assortment specifically for hunting, and although you cloud, wouldn't be ideal for a knife one would bring / use for other occasions (Not written as or intended as criticism of the Hunter XT). Where as the Hunter has all the tools you need for most outdoors activities, like Hiking, camping etc.
What I also really like about the Hunter is that it is a fairly thin SAK at 3 layers and it's pretty lightweight too, so it's not annoying to carry on you either, let it be in your pocket or in a sheath.
And speaking of which the 111mm frame is a good size too, as you get a good size knife and you get a saw big enough to be useful as well, without it being too large to carry on your belt or in your pocket, and what I mean by that is that something like a 130mm Ranger I personally think is too large to have in your pocket or on your belt, its more something that would be carried in a backpack.
This is all just my opinion, and why I like my Hunter, and why I bought it and would recommend getting one. It is not intended to bash other knives or criticise them, nor is it meant to offend anyone, so please don't that any of this the wrong way.
Just FYI, regarding the "small serrated blade" or "gutting blade" it is not a locking blade, in fact the only tool in the Hunter that has a locking feature is the knife. Also as far as I understand the Liner lock, is a feature new on 2018 models, just something to be aware of, if you are looking at getting one. :)
Post by: MMR on December 19, 2018, 12:00:48 PM
I do want to add that the saw in the Hunter is not unique to the Hunter, but the standard saw found on 111mm SAK models.

Here's a test I did testing the Gut hooks capabilities as a rescue blade.

I agree; I am not a fan of the XT either....the “Plain Hunter” has everything one needs and just works because of its simplicity

You're welcome.
The logo is the old style,that is,it's metal embedded into the scale.

It’s a knife my grandfather gave to me (so it’s quite special to me) it’s made by Kongsberg in Norway

I bought this one today.
As the pictures here (in the Victorinox Hunter Club) does not have the same look, I have a question...
What is the approximate date of this SAK?

Hi there Ricardo, that one looks like mine with the side lock. I think I got mine when they first came out maybe around 1992 (?)

Some liner lock models were introduced in the mid 1990's.
All of the Hunters were slide lock models until 2017 when Vic switched to liner locks.
The Hunter XT and XS are liner locks and OHO.

Sir Rabi21,
Thanks for the precious information! :hatsoff:
The Hunter arrived today. It is like new, in the box. Cool without the deer... :SAKnight:

The first pics which I posted above were stock photos.
The top photo are two Hunter XT models.They do have a saw although I forgot to deploy that tool.
The next two photos are the two layer Hunter XS that has no openers.
The last photo,which may confuse the issue, is a dual grip that is similar to the XS but with openers .
