New Guy and His Victorinox SAK Collection
on: July 04, 2020, 05:12:50 AM
Well, I'm new and this is my first post, so , I thought I would post a photo of my Vic SAKs. Most were purchased used. There is a Soldier, a Pioneer, a Cadet, a Climber, a Super Tinker, a Tinker, two Campers, a Spartan, a Tourist, a Sportsman, an Executive, a Nail Clip and two Classics.
I started out with a Classic on my key ring and either a Tinker then a Super Tinker in my pocket. Lately I have been carrying a Climber at work (wanted the mini screwdriver in the corkscrew) and a newly acquired Cadet after work while I'm wearing sweats. The Classic is always on the key ring.
I tried some four- and five-layer models but decided I didn't want to carry them and sold them.
I really like the red alox of the cadet and think it should be the standard alox color. YMMV.

I had a Huntsman, a Fieldmaster, a Deluxe Tinker and a Ranger but decided they were all just more than I wanted to carry. One day I may try a Compact if I can find one worth the money.

Personally, if I'm going to pocket carry anything thicker than a Camper, it may as well include the kitchen sink and be a Swisschamp. I haven't done that very often!

The Compact was my first SAK, and look where it got me. Now i've got around 150 SAKs and an empty bank account :facepalm:

Well at least I never have to sharpen a SAK anymore for the rest of my life  ::)
