Evo14 - my first Delemont. I prefer it for non-combo carry over Compact now.

It is wider but somehow feels better. I did not expect it. I am considering adding pen and pin to the scales to make even more versatile.

Oh, wow... You don't know what you're asking! I have accumulated most of my modest collection in 2022, so picking just one....


I think the best I can do is a short list. The top 3, in no particular order...

Recruit
Huntsman
Evolution 10

But it just depends on the day! I also really like the Camper (anything with the wonderful wood saw!), Super Tinker, Evolution 18...

I bought a lot of SAKs in 2022...  :D

Deluxe Climber - not even close.  Scales have been replaced, but peening looks factory to me.  Used but good condition.  Will be a user for me for sure.

Like Marlowe221 I can’t get it down to just one. My favorite knives that aren’t mods are the Pioneer and Budding/Pruning knife.

Great picture and SAK.

Didn’t buy a single SAK in 2022.

I also didn't get anything new SAK wise in 2022.  I am carrying a new to me Compact gifted by Barry which so far I'm liking.   :D

I acquired only one model I'd never tried previously: the Executive. The second I got it in my hand, it became a favorite. Though I prefer the stippled files on 58mm models, the Executive packs the 58mm tools I use most in a frame that it (to me, anyway) much more user-friendly. Of course, Victorinox would discontinue them by the time I realized how great they are. :twak:

And of course, I gotta give a :like: for Bella!

Same here.  By the time I tried one and realized what a great model it was, they were becoming quite hard to get.  I shopped a bit and managed to get a couple spares.  It probably made strategic sense to the company to delete the 74mm range - there were only 3 models left or something - but I am sad to see it go.  I like that size and picked up a few Ambassadors too, which have the stippled file.   There are still a few of those about for sale.

Yes the executive would be the close runner-up for my 2022 pick. I’ve been enjoying combo carrying the executive and MiniChamp quite a bit as well.  :dunno:

That budding pruning model is awlesome  :salute:
Didn’t realize it had such a bigger pruner blade as well as a clip point small blade 
Very cool

Amazingly I only acquired one SAK in 2022, the Thunder Grey PX, but I am a big fan of the PX which would spend more time in my pocket if it weren’t for pesky challenges!!  :rofl:

I really love my new Cybertool M. So handy to have a couple of different little screwdrivers by hand. Used it so much last couple of weeks. Changing batteries etc.

The CTM is another great model- that bit driver is the bee's knees and gotta love those pliers

Great shot!

I've been eyeing a PX as well- might still pull the trigger on an orange one just because... Well it's Orange  :o

I shied away from the Ambassador, as many of them don't have key rings. But now that a fixie might be spending a lot of time around my neck, I'm looking more seriously at Ambassadors. There are a few on eBay that are modestly priced...for now. Thanks for reminding me about the Ambassador! :cheers:

I bought my first Vic Ranger this year. A very excellent set of outdoor tools, and a bit more compact than my SwissChamp.

I am impressed that it only weighs 60g or something. The blades are sharp as can be too. Flies through a piece of paper like its cutting nothing.

Yeah they seem quite a bit more available and affordable than executives. It is a very cool size, and I prefer it to a classic, but I think my hopes were too high for it. Although it may end up being my summer weather office carry, when it is cold its too easy to carry a couple of bigger Saks.

Got a cadet myself this year and I’m really liking its lightweight footprint. Makes a great carry companion to the MiniChamp.

I bought this modded SAK in 2022 and am surprised just how much I use a box cutter.  Inside the tweezers is a toothpick.
I bought it used and don't know who modded it.
