What SAK would like to see come back?

GraysonK · **on:** August 03, 2011, 01:07:06 PM

In the spirit of NeitherExtreme's "what one tool" in the leatherman section, I thought I'd ask about SAK's. I'm not going to do a poll, but wow would that take up a lot of space.

But what would you like to see Victorinox bring back?

I'd like to see the Voyageur, Sailor, and the 84mm scissors!

the yeoman would be cool.

Reinier · **Reply #2 on:** August 03, 2011, 02:10:50 PM

It would be great if they brought back my first SAK, a black Huntsman that I lost years ago

But seriously... good question. 84mm scsissors would be great of course, even though I'm not a big 84mm fan.
A comeback of the metal inlays like the St. Christopher and the old Fisherman's knife inlay would be cool too (I mean inlays instead of the Victorinox shield). Also, I quite like the long nail file but maybe that should stay in the past (prone to breaking/snapping off).

Oh, a new version of the butane lighter, one that is actually reliable

And: Yeoman, Passenger & Scientist.

A return of the 84 mm scissors - ideally as an extra layer on a Cadet .

All the ones I've lost to loose pockets and looser hands.

GraysonK · **Reply #5 on:** August 03, 2011, 05:43:11 PM

Yeah, I'm definitely wanting a Voyageur. And a Diirector and a Windsor.

good suggestions guys.
Welcome back, Froggy!!!!

Voyageur (84 scissors generally) & 108

Donald · **Reply #12 on:** August 03, 2011, 09:59:56 PM

For me it is really more of a question of what modification I would like (scissors on Farmer and/or availability of upgraded blade steel), or feature I would like restored (sharpened area on cap lifter; older magnifier with new clear surround), but as others have said a restored Voyageur would be terrific. If this is ICanFixThat's picture I hope he does not mind me borrowing it for a bit.

I'm not even sure why it works from the Sakwiki (where I could not find it) without a jpg extension, but I see it in preview. This is such an awesome knife. Although this pristine red version really strikes a chord with me, unless they could harden the anodizing I might want a silver version for less obvious wear from pocket carry, or while I'm wishing, titanium scales. Whatever color, that simpler shield is preferred. What a truly awesome knife.

Donald · **Reply #13 on:** August 03, 2011, 10:18:21 PM

I would not mind having either of these knives back either.

The Elinox Victorinox Pioneer with simple cross on the alox sides, the brass liners, brushed tools for added functionality, sharpened wire stripper area on the cap lifter, and this model without keyring, is just so comfortable.

The Golfer too with its combo tool and scissors in a svelte 84mm package and long fingernail file to boot is also a winner.

BADSAK · **Reply #14 on:** August 03, 2011, 11:44:34 PM

I would like to see them bring back any of the discontinued 84mm knives, especially those with scissors, they just fit better in the pocket!

1. Master Craftsman

2. Grand Prix

ironraven · **Reply #16 on:** August 04, 2011, 01:27:07 AM

I'd want two tools to come back first- the square bodied backside philips with the file, and the Victoria-style can opener with the scraper.

After that, for knives...
Salesman or Golfer probably, maybe the Master Craftsman.

Love to see the original 1891 Soldiers knife done as a regular product, not an expensive collectors piece.

It would be nice to see them bring back a few of the older models with the metal file, but this time make them with the latest SS file/saw. Even if they were kind of small runs. Sort just an updating of some of the classics.

Bring back the technician's screw driver and then make some new knives with it.

I would not complain if they brought back 84mm scissors as well and made some nice alox knives with them and the saw.

However, they can more forward with more bits for the cybertools.

Tyler_ · **Reply #21 on:** August 05, 2011, 05:07:12 AM

also more knives with the black oxide coating. Not just special small runs.

Mattexian · **Reply #24 on:** August 07, 2011, 06:33:50 AM

I think they should make a commemorative "End of Mission" Space Shuttle/Master Craftsman model, like they did for the 20th anniversary moon landing Astronaut and after the Alox Soldier was retired. I'm sure there's more than a few collectors of SAKs and Space Shuttle memorabilia who would love one!

+1 to the Butane lighter!

...And how about the serrated main blade like on that Weekender Spartan.

Mercury · **Reply #26 on:** August 07, 2011, 04:48:49 PM

+1 on the 1891 soldier. I would buy one in a heartbeat if they were affordable.

I also really love the Alox soldier. Sure you can just get a pioneer but I hate the keyring on that model!

Yeoman or Scientist would be the two I wanna see the most.

I have a Swiss Flame.....I know why the previous owner ditched it: it didn't work, probably never worked. ONLY bring it back if:

1. make it work
2. U.S. compliant (never officially sold here as U.S. Customs declared it "unsafe for import" due to lighter design)
