I've EDC'd mine for many years now, and although I occasionally think about replacing it with my Farmer, SI or Recruit, I never have.
Huntsman we salute you! :salute:

Otherwise, it's kept in the car with some camping/emergency stuff, like a Jerven Fjellduk, firesteel and -newly- a BK-17 (the SAK fits nicely in the pocket on the sheath of the Becker).

It's not going to beat any of the previous ones posted, but this overpriced Huntsman does represent a lot of history. It's a natural for the Hudson's Bay Company to have a Victorinox SAK represent their heritage.

My pre 89 huntsman is a great fishing buddy. On a neck lanyard, the scizzors cut line for a few hours today. And the saw was used to cut jagged dangerous branches on a path.

I've owned and used a few Huntsman in my life, it was my favorite for a long time. Most are gone now, I gave them away. The Huntsman is an unspecialized, all round model for everyone, and is one of Victorinox' best selling SAKs.
I ordered a new Huntsman yesterday, the Desert Camo version. And I have a few more. Pics tomorrow, I guess.

1st is a 84mm small Huntsman from the mid 40's to early 50's. Opening all of the blades on this one is not for the faint hearted.....got away with only one Band-Aid. 😛
2nd top is LNF version from the 60's, bottom is LNF from the 70's.

Still definitely one of my favourite SAKs and one I'd never get rid off, especially as it was one of my very first SAKs I bought myself.

In my opinion, this pic is perfect.

It may be that other SAK's are more popular (Classic) or more historic (Soldier), but the Huntsman with it's collection of classic SAK tools (scissors, saw, corkscrew) becomes the iconic SAK. And for good reason, what a great knife.....

No snow here...it's been almost 30 years since I have been to see the snow. :)
This is my 3rd SilverTech. I had forgotten about my SilverTech Explorer and I had recently purchased a new SilverTech Spartan from Amazon.
I had looked at a few Huntsman, including this morning when I spotted a BSA Huntsman but it was in so-so condition.

I like using waxed jute for tinder. You might be able to put a short strand of waxed jute under the saw. You don't need much to get a fire going.
Or....you could put a thick strand (doubled-up strand) inside the corkscrew.

I think I can hide a piece of tinder under the saw, hide the toothpick? Any suggestions?
I like using waxed jute for tinder. You might be able to put a short strand of waxed jute under the saw. You don't need much to get a fire going.
Or....you could put a thick strand (doubled-up strand) inside the corkscrew.

Ah Ha! Thanks el Corkscrew, never though of that one! :salute:...added a Fire Fly to the Huntsman for upcoming summer if it ever gets here.

Finally got your Firefly huh? :tu: That's awesome!!! How do you like it? Staying in the slot okay?? I'm sure the TP would fit under the scissors..

The Huntsman comes in a wide range of colors, including woodland, desert, and smurf.

I bought the blue Huntsman off eBay a few years ago. I actually bid on a Climber, I think the intention I had was to modify the scissors into a Cadet, but I was pleasantly surprised when my Climber came with an added wood saw :tu:. The seller had mislabelled his pre-packed item :dunno:. It is also brand new :woohoo:. I can see all the factory grind marks and the saw still has the fuzzies left from the grinding process, never been used. So I decided it wasn't worth tearing down and have left it as is. While I've now bought other SAKs and multis, the Huntsman will always be the one I like the most :salute:

The Huntsman was my first real SAK. I bought it in the mid to late 90s after I lost my first pocket knife, I think a Japanese copy my Great Grandparents bought me for my 6th birthday. I remember it had a fish scaler and the scales were darker red I'm sure. I was quite upset that I'd lost it but I really can't remember it clearly enough now. Up until I started work in 2006 and got a LM Juice the Huntsman had been my only multi tool. It has been abused a fir bit and the blade layer doesn't have a very sound snap any more. I had to replace the scissors spring as I liked to play, flicking them open and listen to the springy noise until it snapped :oops: I still have the box it came in, a maroon colour, not the silver like they are now.

Now...which scales do I want?... :think: :D

Thanks, TonySal. Camo sounds good. I do like my Spartan in camo. A camo Huntsman is now on the "to get list"(technically it will be a red scaled Huntsman and a set of camo scales popped on to save money).:iagree:Good way to do it! I thought of Staglow but bought a Climber with them instead (reason to buy......)

I really enjoy scale swapping. I saved a bunch making a SilverTech SwissChamp XLT, Sapphire SwissChamp, and SilverTech Explorer. :)
The stayglow climber sounds awesome. My only factory atypical scaled SAK is an emerald Climber.

This was my first pocket knife given to me by my grandfather when I was around 7 years old. Such a great combination of tools and it saw a lot of carry and use. From what I have gathered (and I am still not sure) this one was made around 94 which is when I turned 7. Correct me if I’m wrong. Just recently added the micro SD but the scales don’t have a hole for the pin.

Any first impressions, Speedy?I like the tools that the Huntsman has
It feels good in the hand and not to heavy
The camouflage scales have a good finish
All I need to do now is start using it :cheers: :tu:

Still, for a nice selection of tools and easy pocket carry, the Huntsman or Fieldmaster is hard to beat.

Love the Huntsman!
This was my first pocket knife given to me by my grandfather when I was around 7 years old. Such a great combination of tools and it saw a lot of carry and use. From what I have gathered (and I am still not sure) this one was made around 94 which is when I turned 7. Correct me if I’m wrong. Just recently added the micro SD but the scales don’t have a hole for the pin.

Man, that's one lovely Huntsman right there... :like:
Lovely old solid scales, with that lovely deeper red shade... :drool:
About not having the hole for the pin, let me tell you... i love the pin, use it a lot, but i would give it up in a second of they had still made and use those older solid cellidor scales, instead of this newer hallow cheaper ones... :twak:

I have quite a few more. I would say it is the one model of which I have the most iterations. I am working on getting as many different scaled Huntsman models as possible.

The camo and the yellow are production. The ebony one was some ebony wood blocks that I ordered and shaped. The other wood is from a discarded oak coffee table. The mixed scales are oak, with a polymer insert made from the faux ivory dominoes you can buy at almost any store. I cut a rectangle piece of wood, then divide it about 2/3 the way down at an angle, epoxy a domino in between. I work it down on my belt sander and shape it into a set of scales.
Cheesy, but it seems to turn out ok.
I think it looks really interesting. I’m working on making my first set of wood scales right now. It’s not going to look anywhere near that nice. :facepalm:

It doesn't take long to get in the groove. I had an old SAK with no scales that I had disassembled and found that the metal sides make a great tool for making scales. The outline helps you shape the scales, plus the rivet holes show you exactly where to relieve material to accomodate the rivets on a SAK.
That’s an awesome idea to take one apart for that purpose. Time to find a broken one to take apart. :)

Added a black-scaled Huntsman today. Never difficult to understand why this model is the favourite of so many! The equivalent of about $45 in sheqels, plus Israeli VAT. I am a few minutes away from 5 or 6 stores that sell Victorinox pocket knives, and multitools. Very dangerous for a penurious pensioner.
Translucent blue is most attractive, though my terrible photo doesn't bring that out. Or the matching blue of the lanyard.
Anyone ever heard of an Alox-scaled Huntsman?

Only custom...
Ah, a bit like a Farmer and a Pioneer X combined, and with a pen blade. My guess is that a production model would sell. Put in a combo tool, take out the superfluous opener, and add an inline awl. A step closer to perfection. No hook or pick or tick-grabber. I could live with that.

Thanks for the up-vote, Ray! :iagree: The Tomcat [1.0] was one of my first "new era" knives, in the late-eighties. Sold-it, and bought the 2.0-version. I'm slowly, getting-back into the SOG-brand again. For the longest-time; I felt they were just an uninspiring brand. The new SEAL XR has gotten my attention.:iagree: on the uninspiring part. The Tomcat came in with class, good looks and being solid. :cheers:

This one is pretty good. It has the chisel which is quite cool. I remember seeing this unusual model in France and Germany in the 1990s. I even asked the staff to search for one in their stock but somehow that was always unsuccessful :P It was purely meant to be a store display knife.
Like I said before: unsharpened blades, extra stops on most of the tools in order to display the SAK in the position shown, weaker springs. They were always welded onto a stainless steel post with a wooden or plastic base.
(http://www.vicfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/demohuntsman1.jpg)
A blob of weld still visible on the bottle opener. The steel post used to be attached there.
(http://www.vicfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/demohuntsman5.jpg)
Second one, no chisel. Bottle opener with no obvious bevel. This one also has the extra stops on several tools.
(http://www.vicfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/demohuntsman2.jpg)
Half of the bottle opener has been ground off :facepalm:
(http://www.vicfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/demohuntsman3.jpg)
Third one: unsharpened tools but no extra stops :think:
Opener without bevel. It even hits the can opener in closed position!
(http://www.vicfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/demohuntsman4.jpg)
And finally the one I bought years ago. This one is in perfect condition and it even has the post + base:

Got the :mail: today and a new addition to the collection showed up. '92 -'05 Huntsman as best I can tell. Considering the Olympic emblem and it's a post '92 model, I was thinking maybe this was a run for the 100 year anniversary of the modern Olympics (1996) but I can't find anything specific on this particular Huntsman. It's in great shape though so I'm stoked! If anybody might know if this had it's own model number I'd greatly appreciate any info you could shoot my way.Sweet looking Huntsman! And in great shape :cheers:

A bit of research and I see this design (Huntsman with stag scales) may have had the name Archer in the 1980s. :salute:
Oh, man, that's cool!
My last name is related to archery, and I was born in the 80s. I think I need this.... :gimme:

Seems ok.... :think:I like them too Tony but perhaps not quite as much as the firefly which being longer is that little bit easier to use IMO. The tinder is really good and lights from the fireant easily, making for a very good package
For day to day EDC I’m happier sacrificing the toothpick over the mini driver so take a firefly with mini driver and the tinder.
Been taking both fireant and firefly on my huntsman when bush walking for a handy backup that weighs virtually zero

Are you able to tell the year based on the translucent scales. My silver one has 16 among other numbers stamped on it and i interpreted it to mean the scales at least are from 2016.

Most translucent type scales are pretty easy to read the date on a ‘wheel’ with a pointer. Some of the early ones ‘99+ are harder to read as the wheels aren’t fully marked and with only single digits like 4 and 6. So you have to ‘know’ what decade it’s from to be useful.

This morning I fitted some black micarta scales - custom made by a UK seller on Etsy. I have micarta on some other knives I own and really wanted to try them on a SAK. Decided on the huntsman since I completed the Pioneer X challenge last month and although I really like my PX it did make me miss the wood saw. So - for now at least - the huntsman it is. I’m liking this black-out version so far...

That's correct. The black thing is just a piece of heat shrink tube. It's there to protect the tinder. Something I picked up from a Felix Immler video on Youtube. Seems to work surprisingly well.

Everybody seems to be having fun, so I will post a photo. Black Huntsman. I like the toolset on these things, and they carry well too. Best wishes. G

I love the black! Once my red scales need replacing, I will go with black. I'd carry a Hunstman every day but as a teacher, I don't have a use for the saw at work so I end up with a Climber or Super Tinker on my pocket instead. A Huntsman goes in my pocket on the weekends especially during the fall.

It's a used one i got dirt cheap, that was after a nice bath and scrub and new scales pressed in.
But it's still very much pretty, i don't carry it much, only for outdoors stuff now and again

Stoer you seem like the sort that would take a basket along on a walk through the woods and bring back some tasty mushrooms or something. Huntsman makes a good foraging companion, don't you think? Best wishes. G
Guilty as charged! :D
Huntsman is a great outdoors SAK.......for foraging it never leaves you wanting........now back to processing my haul! :D

:like: Please let's us City guys see what you are processing :think:
@Uscgsal - apologies as I have only just seen your request......so from the country to the city, here is the latest haul from the local hedgerow........a bag of Hazelnuts!
Post by: UscgSal on October 07, 2023, 04:49:50 PM
We actually have fruit trees and gardens here outside the city. Like to see what others grow and harvest with the SAK!

No hazelnuts here, but I do have deer and turkeys in my big back yard. I was going to post a photo, but it wasn't clear enough. I substituted a photo from February instead. Huntsman is in my pocket today. :dunno::like: :tu:

Its a nice small 91 mm SAK sadly not on Blue but in Black which is also cool ..
But i found one thing interessting: Could it be that back in the 90tes or 80tes, the Medium Size Victorinox where shorter than they are now? I have compare the Huntsman whit an 2 Layer whe have lying around in our bathroom (Spartan?) and its maybe a cm shorter ..

Sounds like your old “Spartan” is actually a Tourist, which has the identical tool set to the Spartan but is 84 mm long vs. the 91 mm Huntsman and Spartan.
