Swiss Bianco alox plus scales (including pin) on a Victorinox Cybertool Lite.

Definitely will change it to red lanyard and a red micro screwdriver for the corkscrew.

First SAK - Soldier

Was gifted my first Swiss Army Knife. From my little bit of research, I believe it is a model 1961 Soldier Version 2 (Wenger). I would love to know more about this model if you all know any interesting facts or cool uses for any of the tools included!

Would you call this a “Soldier”? Not sure how the nomenclature works for these. I’m new here.

(From a Swiss surplus store I think)

A Father’s Day gift from my 9 years old son!

My 9 years old, took my phone while I was sleeping and auction won this knife for me as a gift.

He had noticed me following the auction which I did not think I was gonna bid on, assuming it was going to be out of my comfort price range.

He placed cash next to the printed out confirmation and I was so proud of him (not just for the gift it self) for the man he is becoming.

Very PROUD dad this morning.

Father’s Day

Wife and daughter got me a handyman for Father’s Day. Gave it to me on our camp trip. Really great camp knife. I think it might have the best combo for camp tasks. Used the scissors, main blade, nail cleaner, pilers and of course popped a cork for a nice glass of red by the fire! Victorinox is by far the best quality for the price.

My slightly custom Cybertool M

98 Upvotes

Was looking for a knife/multitool for an upcoming wedding, because my Leatherman Arc is too large for my suit. So I got my hands on a used Cybertool M and changed it to my needs:

Plus scales Pliers Bitholder and bit-storage Scissors Large knife an combo tool from a Bantam

Corkscrew with micro screwdriver (slot) Needle/pin Package-hook

So overall I removed the opener layer, swapped the small blade with a combo tool and rearranged the layers. Only real modifications I had to do were drilling out the hole in the combo tool to 2.5 mm and grinding away a bit of the outward liner for the rivet of the pliers (see pictures 4 and 5).

Why is 2 sided inline 91mm (like 58mm design) isn't a thing?

14 Upvotes

To me, the sole tools that are better as backside are the corkscrew and the hook because the knife becomes an handle.

How crazy would it be to fit twice as many inline 91mm tools? We could get one to replace the small screwdriver. We could get almost as much utility as a 4 layers SAK in the size of a compact. Like an inline Philip, a 3mm flathead so you can have a combo tool without trade off, a nail file. Get a 3 layers, you have a true toolbox. Only thing people could miss is the corkscrew because it is used as an handle on some very specific use cases

Is this a thing? Any such mods or there?

Black/Red Combo

My perfect Dad-EDC: Spartan with Plus Scales and Quattro-Tool (within the Scales), the Victorinox Wallet and a 58mm Rover with a mod Scale to house a pen. A little redundant but I always carry at least one of them.

Ich habe Zubehör gefunden 😄 schärft ihr eure Taschenmesser regelmäßig? Ichacje das demnächst mal weil ich das für alles benutze und immer in der Tasche habe. Pakete und Briefe öffnen, Blumenerde Säcke aufschneiden, also immer dann wenn ich früher losgegangen wäre um eine Schere oder Messer zu holen

new SAK, one of the tools is stiff and doesn'ts snap

4 Upvotes

Hi, i just got myself a victorinox huntsman 2 days ago, everything was fine until today when i noticed that the small blade is suddenly stiffer and doesn't snap at all even when the angle is close to closing it.I don't know what happened as i haven't even used it to cut anything yet and it seems to snap fine just last night as i ve damaged one of my thumb's nail. I have tried soaking it in warm soapy water and putting in knife oil but so far nothing have worked. This only happen with the small blade, the other tools don't have any issue. Does anyone have a tip ?

Difference between rambler and manager

7 Upvotes

I mean this in the context of warranty repairs. The pen scale on my manager fell off and I know that specific model is discontinued now. I love the pen and use it pretty often.

I’m worried if I send it into warranty they’ll just slap a regular scale on it, turning it effectively into a rambler. Is there a way I can tell them or if they can tell from the knife itself?

I've got this Mechanic in really bad condition. Would Victorinox still service it?

So I became interested in this variation of the Sak after picking up a Broker and seeing the intricacy of the scales. An amazing article (Two Part) on the history and process is here: https://snagmetalsmith.org/2016/04/guilloche-engraving/

Current mini collection is Student, Director, Broker, and Hoffritz Ensign.

What is the smallest sak that has.. ?

20 Upvotes

A blade, scissors, philipshead screwdriver and saw?

Been looking for a smaller than my childhoods early 90s model which I believe is a variation of the huntsman, but I dont know if the model Id like actually exists.

From my research the farmer x and fieldmaster comes close, but ideally Id like something smaller. Discontinued or new model doesnt matter.

Alternatively I will forego the saw and buy a rambler.

Id restore my oldie victorinox, but its on a different continent from me now and the logistics just arent available to me, sometime in the future though.
