 :ahhh

I managed top 5 easily, and padded it out with honourable mentions to take it to 10, but that was my limit. I have simple tastes when it comes to the Swiss knives, and beyond 10 I'd be just mentioning different knives for the sake of it  :D

I like a lot of Victorinox SAKs, but which ones do I find myself using the most?

1. Manager - it's on my primary keyring so it gets used often when I'm at work.
2. Ranger - it's in a pouch on my belt when not working, used a lot around home and when away on a trip somewhere.
3. Rambler - it's on my secondary keyring which lives in my motorcycle jacket, good backup to the Manager.
4. Cybertool 34 - I've had this for over 15 years, very useful tool.  It used to be my EDC for quite a few years when I was a computer tech.
5. Executive - sitting on my desk in front of me now, I often grab this to file my nails or use the scissors.
6. Explorer - in the bag I take to work, quite useful for anything the Manager can't handle.
7. Minichamp - this has a couple of tools that are not on any other SAK I own, so it gets used for those tools.
8. Trekker - this makes a really good camp knife/tool, good for when I go motocamping.
9. Farmer - more compact camp knife/tool, feels real solid in the hand.
10. Cadet - good slim SAK for when you want it to disappear in a pocket, you don't even know you have it until you need it.

I must have less SAKs than a lot of you guys, that is actually most of my collection, I think that the OHT, Bantam and Cheese Knife are the only other Victorinox SAKs I didn't mention.
I have a Victorinox SwissTool X that I use a lot, but that's not a SAK.
I probably have more flashlights than most of you, but that's a topic for a different forum.

It is hard to feel good about a list of 10 top SAKs since I would prefer a combination of SAKs that give me the tools that I want.  For example, I would prefer using a CT-29 in combination with the Explorer Plus but list items as if they were stand-alone choices in order of preference.  My favorite combination if I could only choose two would be the Explorer and the Spirit X.

1. Explorer Plus
2. Spirit X (not sure if MT counts but my Spirit X would be a close 2nd to the Explorer if I could only have 2 Victorinox products).
3. Swiss Champ
4. CT Lite
5. Champion
6. Handyman
7. Ranger
8. Super Tinker
9. Pioneer X
10. Minichamp II
