The Victorinox Trekker - Bundeswehr style

[sergemaster]

Amici,
What is if any, the collectability of the Bundeswehr version of the Victorinox Trekker? Is this a piece that you can actually use in the field or for EDC, or it would be wise just to put it away and save it for the collection?

Cheers,
Serge

These are nice, but pretty common right now.  I would not worry about using it;  I think in maybe 5-10 years they will have some collect-ability, so maybe buy a second one when you see them cheap.

I use such as EDC. GAK enough utility knife, but rather a "outodoor" than "urban"

does anyone know if victorinox is still making them for the german army, or if some other contractor has taken over? I see non vic OH GAKs seem to outnumber vic ones on ebay at the moment.

Hmmm that's a good question; that might explain why I've seen a few more than usual and some Vic ones at good prices.
