My very first Victorinox Swiss Army knife was a black Huntsman. I EDC’d it for several years but I lost it in 2000 or so. This white one is a newer model, with a slightly thinner tang (large blade) and the new “Victorinox Swiss Made Stainless” text on the tang. This one originally came with […]

The Handyman is a pretty large, 6 layer Swiss Army Knife. It adds scissors, pliers, a wood saw, a metal saw (with metal file and nail file), a chisel, a fine screwdriver and (since 1991) a multi-purpose hook to the basis Spartan model. The one in the pictures is an older knife since it has

The Compact is one of my favorite Victorinox knives. It has almost the same functionality as the popular Climber model, but it is one layer thinner. Instead of the small blade it has a combo tool which combines the functions of the can opener and the bottle opener (cap lifter) that normally take up a

This is another Camper, the same model I showed before (that was a green Camper), but this one is in stylish black. This one has been fitted with Plus scales (including a ballpoint pen), but this Swiss Army knife normally comes with normal scales, usually with a Camping logo on the front.

The TimeKeeper is relatively rare, discontinued 91mm Swiss Army knife. It has an analog timepiece in the front scale. Tool-wise it is very close to the Compact, replacing the tweezers in the front scale with the timepiece. It is one of only a few 91mm models with a combo tool instead of the can opener

The Camper is a 3 layer, 91mm knife. It is usually red with a Camping logo on the front scale (metal inlay or hot stamped). This is a green one without the logo. The Camper has the same tool configuration as the Spartan, but adds a woodsaw. Prefer a black one? ;)

There is a thread on the MultiTool.org forums about black Swiss Army knives, with lots of great pictures. I happen to like black cellidor scales a lot. In fact, it’s one of my favorite scale colors, along with green and any kind of colored alox. Here are some of my black Victorinox SAKs. I have

Yesterday, I received two Victorinox knives from a nice chap from the MultiTool.org Forums. The seller called the red one a Tourist, but I think it’s a Traveller, which is basically a Climber without the keyring. Which is obviously not the same as the modern Traveller (with an electronic timepiece, thermometer, altimeter, etc. in the
