No Mountaineer but will be watching!
You know you want one...
I like mine too! Just got it recently, but carried it a few times already. (Image removed from quote.)
The Mountaineer is the first, and so far only +2 layer SAK I found at a flea market.I noticed it on the floor. Like new condition, fluted corkscrew, €3...So I brought it home
If I come across one and have the money and see nothing else! Yep, I probably would.
I don't know how it was still there since it was the third edition of the flea market that year So how did I do it?? I do know I wasn't man enough to negotiate about the price
The Mountaineer is much, and undeservedly, overlooked. A Club to appreciate them is overdue ! Edit. I do recall this thread https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,74491.0.html
Let me join right in... Love the Mountaineer and the lovely saw/file. It's my nº 2 EDC when i need something with more tools and for "off urban" envoirement.Since i'm on the Compact as main edc these days, i'd love to get my hands on on a Trail Guide... for that i'd edc 3 layers regularly again(Image removed from quote.)
.......... Though a SAK(or most MT) were not meant to replace real tools and their efficiency, I do believe a good EDC worthy SAK should cover 80% of all my quick fix needs. ......
I always used to EDC a Huntsman (surprise - huh?) - But thought a file would a pretty decent addition - So got a Ranger - But it was too big for weekdays and work trousers.So I went completely the other way and now EDC a Compact!!However all this Mountaineer love has made me think I should give it a go - Thinner than the Huntsman too....
NB Please note: I really think we should ban anyone who uses this phrase in this context So Mr. Comis - Are you saying SAKs and Multitools are not real tools? Huh? I much prefer the term 'dedicated tools' !!
Hi, everyone.Just like to start a club for those of us whom has the appreciation or curious about the Victorinox 91mm Mountaineer, personally it is one of the best EDC multitool that covers both urban and rural usage. When Huntsman often gets all the attention because of the wood saw, Mountaineer is the unsung hero with the metal file saw in the 91mm family. I love the Metal file/saw, for it can do what the wood saw can do, and then more. I vividly remembered how Mountaineer save my long haul trip, where I found myself without the key to my suitcase lock. Since then, it has been part of my EDC and it is my trusted companion for all my travels.Have you used or collected one? Any story or thoughts to share? Any questions? Don't peek, please join right in! (Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)
I recently acquired a NIB Trail Guide on the 'bay. I wasn't certain of whether I would EDC it or keep it on the shelf.Why, EDC of course! I have a yeoman mod in the three-layer camp, but there's something about the width / heft of the trail guide that feels right. The metal saw is in the dead center layer too, which definitely helps with ergos.Plus scales are a treat as well, even if I have explain the marlboro stamp : DDoes add a certain...character...to the knife, though.
The Mighty Mountaineer was my trusty companion for over ten years.This SAK have the near perfect balance of size and tool load. Metal saw is one of my favorite tools. Very capable tool. I used to pair with a Gerber Flik.But when I come across the Trail Guide I've found the perfect SAK.It's sums all qualities of my two favorite SAKs in one! The Compact and Montaineer. Fit with perfection on my pocket.Buy a new (Mighty )Mountaineer is in my "to do" list. It will take place on my urban backpack. The Ranger for the travel kit
