The Victorinox Waiter Appreciation Society

[JK]

I just got a Waiter and a cellidor Bantam for giving out as presents. I use a Waiter at home regularly but I can see the advantage of the Bantam when opening cans (more comfy than squeezing a corkscrew!).

After decades of collecting many 'regular sized' SAKs and multi-tools with all the bells & whistles, I finally came to appreciate less is more. This is my new found love. The 84mm is the best form factor for me with the super thin one layer with all the functionality that I use most often in an urban setting, nothing more, and without the bulk. With its lighter and smaller form factor, I see myself carrying the Waiter more often going forward than my favorite Compact and Juice S2 which I still think are one of the best 'regular size' edc. around. I love the 84mm form factor so much I also have on order a Walker (for my daily hikes), and an alox Batam (for more formal occasions).

Agree Cat. I like collecting but need a metal saw on a daily basis lol.

Waiter, Walker and alox Bantam are exactly my preferred smaller SAKs.
I have other 84mm but they get no pocket time.

... was actually I Don't need a metal saw daily, meaning the 8 layer ones, although I will collect if I can!

Yes ! This trio will cover 95% of my sak thirsts  (a cold beer takes care of the remaining 5%)

Hi everyone, this is my first post on this forum. I would like to introduce you to my Nylon Scaled Victorinox Waiter that I have modified to be a 'Plus'.  I have owned this SAK for many years, and for a long time it lived in a kitchen drawer! Just over two years ago it became my daily SAK as I started a new job in an office and the Huntsman was a bit too 'outdoorsy' for most people! The Waiter is an ideal 'urban' or office SAK with its small size (one layer and 84mm). However, I felt it needed a little more, so around a year ago I modified the scale to accept the pen and pin, and added the small screwdriver.  Enjoy the photos!

Welcome to MTo. That's quite an entrance!

 

I was just thinking about getting Plus scales on a Waiter. Was it difficult? That might be my EDC choice.

 

[GreyLife]

Thank you.  Modifying the scales to 'plus' was not too difficult. I used the file/saw tool from SwissChamp to file the groove for the pen - it is the perfect width. For the pin slot, again I used the file/saw from SwissChamp, but used it at an angle of about 45degrees to put a little 'notch' into the scale. 

This is also my first modification of a SAK (apart from adding original Plus scales to my Huntsman), as the Waiter is only 84mm, I have not been able to find any new original scales so had to modify them!

Yup, only 91mm SAKs have Plus scales.

Awesome work GreyLife!

again. Neat stuff GL. My Waiter has a pin hole?  Maybe the year?

[roamingcat]

Nice mod GL. The addition of a pen is particularly useful for urban office environment. I have also filed down my tweesers. I find a pointed tip much easier to pick things up than the stock flat. I got this idea from a Swiss gentleman from youtube. I can post a link to show how he did it if it doesn't violate the rules here.

Yes, he's an interesting guy...

Good luck. The 91mm Waiter Plus is the one knife on my wish list that I don’t expect I’ll ever find.

Nice work! It's a pity Vic doesn't produce 84mm plus scales. Thanks for sharing your method.
