Hi there. Some of you might remember sakfinder.com , website which i published here 6 months ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/victorinox/comments/1qehl9w/i_built_a_website_to_find_next_sak/

It's a community site, with ability to filter SAK knives by specific tools, price, supports 5 languages and countless currencies.

I made some update since then, mostly based on users feedback:
- new redesign

- layer count - filterable and sortable by this

- and mainly collections - sign in by Facebook, Google or email and you are free to make collections of knives you already own, want to buy, every day carry etc. Collections are link shareable and voteable. (your personal login data is nowhere shared, no newsletter will be sent etc - its just for login functionality).

Also still no ads, no affiliate things etc. Its just hobby project to help you choose your next SAK (the site lists only currently being made SAKs) and keep track of which you own etc. And share with friends. :)

If you make a collection drop a link into comments, I am interested what everybody else got and what is their ratio of owned / EDC. Here is mine collection of SAKs: https://www.sakfinder.com/u/2c2c6c6f

Also if you have any tips for improvement, or feedback, its appreciated as this is what drives me to make it better.

Ben ik de enige??

I know some would argue this isn't even a SAK, for lacking a knife, but there it is.

I almost got it a couple of months back when Amazon had it on sale (around CAD51). I held off, then the price went up a couple of bucks so I didn't get it. Then Prime Day came and I got it for under CAD40 (SRP IS CAD62). I'm so glad I waited.

I agree with Accoutrements on YT that this model needs a key ring, like the Cadet (in photos).

The 3rd photo is with the Cadet and Synergy X.

I almost never need a knife, so I'm looking forward to EDC'ing the Companion Slim often (I have a Rambler with Etsy Plus-LED scales on my keychain so that's covered).

Do you guys think it’s possible to find this in the USA new?

Any idea why it was discontinued??

Just wanted to share the knife my unlce got me for on an over seas trip over 20 years ago it’s been in my pocket almost every day since then but sadly it’s taken a beating and before it fully falls apart i ordered a SIGNATURE LITE knife from the website
I would have loved to gotten a 1 to 1 replacement of the one I’ve had but i only seen 2 and both was not fully the same and around the $200 range i guess cus its ducati branded it raises the value on the resell market and i just can’t afford that

Anyways i don’t have anywhere else to share this info and i feel like this group would be a good place to just talk about knife’s

Right, I have a broken Executive alox, its scissor backspring is broken. All blades are decent and serviceable. Peeler and long nail file are great and backspring works.

I have a stainless steel Windsor. Blade is a prybar, short nail file end is also snapped. Backspring is fine.

Can I swap the mainblade from the Executive and the peeler/long nail file layer into the Windsor? And perhaps the small blade into the Windsor?

What challenges are there other than removing the damned stainless scales? Is it possible? Are the pin sizes the same...both are presumably older models.

One difference i can see is the scissors are slightly different in style. I will try and attach photos of this.

Any help, insight or guidance is welcomed.

Many thanks in advance

After failing to find suitable magnifying glass for my old Wenger, I decided to pressure fit a 12x2 mm neodymium magnet into the empty socket using a tabletop hydraulic press. Since the commercial magnets have some slight variation in diameter, it might take some tries to find one that’s a bit bigger than the hole. Now the precision screwdriver is magnetized and can hold screws in place, which, to me, is a fair trade off to losing the ability to looking at slightly smaller things.

Had mosquito coils but no metal stand for them. Grabbed my Huntsman and sorted it out in seconds.

Saved my morning coffee&sunrise ritual by the window from the little bloodsuckers! 🦟

Was biking around town in the heat and needed a break so I stopped in the pawn shop and found this for 5 dollars. I didn’t have my wallet on me so I asked the guy to hold it till tomorrow ( the guy and I are familiar with each other) he said dude just take it .

This is one of those that I had never seen before... But once I saw it on ebay, I had to have it!! 🤣 (ahhhh, the dangers of ebay browsing! 😉)

Finally got a Onefold Alox and a Farmer X Alox.

They are SOLID.

Love the aluminum scales and I am happy to finally have a real punch/reamer like on my old Boy Scout knives. This Farmer X Alox is going to become a favorite.

Didn't realize these are 93 mm and the main spear point blades are proportionately larger, too. The reverse locking mechanism (reverse from the locking tab those of us familiar with TL-29 lineman's knives are used to) on the Onefold is actually pretty solid and I use my left thumb to push it open and my right hand to slowly close the blade. Works fine and safely, as long as I take my time. I am able to open the blade just using the tips of my thumb and forefinger to pinch the blade and pull it open without engaging the nail nick.

I'd been looking for a more minimalist approach to EDC, and I usually carry my Sears Craftsman Lumberjack camp knife. But after I saw an advert for James Brand's Ellis single blade, I thought I'd go ahead and try a single-blade, too. Glad I picked this one.

Both knives recommended!

Hello can you all help me identify this SAK model and possible year as well! Found this in my grandfathers collection! Thanks :)

I would love to hear some thoughts!

A bit of a joke post, but this is 100% a knife from the swiss army, and a real beauty, so why not post it?
