    I picked up the cadet recently and I really love it. I however bought the 2020 limited edition version in the Indigo Blue Alox handle scales. I picked up the 2020 limited edition version in memory of my mother that passed away just a couple of weeks into 2021. She was much loved by everyone that knew her but she was my roommate, closest friend and confidant. My mother was Chronically ill and had been close to death several times over the last decade of her life but finally her illness came to an end on January 15 2021. Interestingly enough just 2 weeks after the passing of her father someone I greatly respected and considered a good friend. So in memory of my mother especially but my grandfather as well I picked up the Victorinox Cadet 2020 limited edition version in Indigo Blue it is and will always be a special piece of my pocket knife and EDC collection.

    I carried the Executive for years. In college, the orange peeler worked really well for unlocking simple door locks on practice rooms, study rooms, etc.. Just reach into the crack between the strike plate and the door and then pull back, using the hooked part of it to snag and retract the latch. Sort of like using a credit card, but much easier. Also, the tip of the orange peeler is a flathead screwdriver.

    I always carry a victorinox, I got a huntsman from my grandfather and an SD classic from my other grandfather. I have since put the huntsman in my toolbox as I never had a use for the saw or the corkscrew and the SD classic still lives on my keychain. Now I carry a rambler in my watch pocket everywhere because I always need to use the small screwdriver, I also just bought a Tinker Deluxe because it has the small pliers and the big screwdriver which is exactly the toolset I need every day, I make jewelry and the pliers are perfect for bending wire, rings and squeezing beads, absolute 10/10 tools.

    My absolute favorite SAK is the Tinker Deluxe. The scissors and small pliers come in clutch and I basically use them every day. I work with small PCB’s so the precision of the jaws are amazing :) That’s the smallest tool I can carry where I feel I could tackle basically everything that would be asked of me on a daily basis, unless it comes to large tasks that would require heavy pliers or a saw. Great video!

    Although it literally never ever gets mentioned, my favourite SAK is the Bantam. Essentially a trimmed down cadet which combines the bottle opener and can opener into an incredible single 'combi' tool which works great for either task. It's a single layer SAK weighing in at just 29g (1 ounce) which is 11g lighter than the SAK minichamp (also one of my favourites and on my keyring). It's an invisible knife which never leaves my person and I completely forget it's there.

    I've been a pocket knife EDC dude since probably around my freshman year of high school and I'm 38 in May. I was given the Victorinox Swiss Card not long after the release from my sister for Christmas. I love the Victorinox card and use it frequently but the tool I use the most from the Swiss card is the scissors. I've used the tiny writing pen and the little knife but I frequently return to the scissors. The Victorinox Swiss Card is probably the EDC item I keep with me that's the oldest EDC tool that I own. It would be either the card or a Kershaw Chive, the Chive was my first quality pocket knife. I love both tools but the Swiss card is in my wallet and goes with me everyday.

    Great review Taylor. These knives are so iconic, and I believe every serious blade collector should own a few. The fit and finish for such a massively produced tool is remarkable and you can't beat the price for a Swiss-made product. I own a dozen or so SAKs and carry a Champ everywhere, I use it frequently and it's the "safe" knife when someone at works wants to borrow a blade for something. There is no way I'm handing them my Custom Mini Crooked River :)

    I got my first victorinox when I was 10, a stainless steel scaled Executive model, same model my dad carried on him throughout his adult life, but it didn't have the toothpick and tweezers so he gave it to me, I still have it. I now carry a cyber tool lite in a pouch on my belt, far too big for the pocket. I use pretty much every tool on there, with varying frequency, during my work day. I have a modified Huntsman that I use as a carving tool. I've built up a substantial collection of models over the years though.

Its in very good condition but certainly has a few scratches here and there - that's almost 60 years of memories! I bought it in an open air market in Saudi Arabia for 7 rials = about $1.40.

    So, based upon your comments and favorite knives you mainly use your SAKs for trimming loose threads (scissors) and cleaning/filing your nails (file). I use mine mostly while camping so my favorite is the Camper. I have uses for the reamer/awl, saw, and main blade. The secondary blade is useful for fine carving/whittling. The corkscrew holds an eye glass screwdriver, soon some tinder for fire starting, and can help increase the size of a hole bored by the reamer. Currently there is a ferro rod that replaces the toothpick. The tweezers are useful in removing splinters and ticks.

The Climber gets an honourable mention for it's smaller blade - which I find I use more often than the main blade, surprisingly. So quite similar to your picks

    I have over a dozen Victorinox knives. My OG was a Camper. I carried that all through my high school and college years, including a year overseas where it was my only knife and tool for the entire year. Used it for opening cans, and bottles, and uncorking wine bottles. Used the main blade for cutting meat and cheeses. And the secondary blade for cutting and peeling fruit. I basically used every single tool on that almost daily for food preparation, except for the saw. I currently carry the mini champ alox. Before that, I carried a Manager, and still might return to it someday as it was a very good EDC mini knife.. And I carry a Pioneer in a pocket organizer in my car because, you never know when you might need a knife. And finally, I rotate among various knives on my desk, but mostly stick with the Climber.

    I do the classic SD when I'm out (way out sometimes) in the field. For the weight there's nothing nearly so versatile: scissors for nail hygiene (can make the difference between swamp rot and comfort), knife is self explanatory, tweezers for thorns and cactus spikes, file for modifying equipment, and the end of the file is a basic screwdriver for adjusting my gear or camera equipment. Only thing I don't think I ever use is the toothpick.

    My favourite Victorinox is a model no longer produced by Victorinox. It is the old Voyageur Alox, with a main blade, a combo tool with can opener, cap lifter, screw driver and a wire stripper on the first layer. And on the second layer the Voyageur has got a pair of scissors. Very nice companion for the urban environment. And my second choice would be one of the old Golfer models. It is a slightly smaller Victorinox Compact, without the nail file on the hook.

    My personal go to Victorinox that I carry literally everyday, everyplace I go is actually the only one I have at the moment and it’s the Electrician Alox. I did a lot of research and chose this knife because I liked that it had the second sheep’s foot blade over the can opener. That’s the thing I use the most on it. It’s a great knife and I love it. Wanna get either an Alox Classic or Minichamp next to compliment my electrician. I think that would be the perfect set up to me

    I've always carried the Fieldmaster or the Huntsman; but more-so the FM because I prefer having a screwdriver over a corkscrew. and I don't mind carrying a knife with some weight. While I do carry dedicated blades, if I had to chose out of all my knives, I'd carry a SAK! My dad has carried one all his life, I think his is the classic red Fieldmaster, an it's served him well. I took it from him when it was gunked and the parts were stiff, but it was nothing a little soaking in water with dish detergent, brushing, drying, sharpening, and lubricating didn't fix! After that got his SAK nearly back to working like new (minus the inevitable wear marks that come with years of use; which I could have sent to Swiss Army for a total repair with new scale and dissembled cleaning, but I wanted the satisfaction of feeling accomplished lol). The smaller blades are for finer cutting work. For a knife enthusiast the blades are nothing to run home about, but it's good stainless steel, and in the hands of a person who's good at sharpening and honing, the blades easily fix. I would like if SAK opened up a "Custom Shop" where you could customize your SAK from ground up, your tools, size, scales, finish (stainless steel, blacked) ect. Would cost you much more but you get the SAK YOU want if none of their premade models match your fancy.

    In 1986 my ex-husband, who was in the South African Army (we both were!) came home from work with two Victorinox Pioneers. They have the SA Army catalogue number stamed on them. They cost R3.65 each, and if I'd known then what I know know I'd have bought a dozen! Even today the can opener is still the only can opener I use. I use one or the other of the tools about once a week!

    25 years ago, when I was a kid - a "knockoff" didn't automatically mean "bad"! I had a knockoff with nice antler scales and I abused it and did all the things you should never do to your knife and it seemed almost unbreakable. I can't remember re-sharpening it at least once! Unfortunately some older kids stole it from me back in elementary when I got mugged by those punks who even took the patches that covered tho holes in my pants! They even cut those off with the very knife they took from me. I loved that knife man..

    I edc the compact and it's honestly perfect for me. The only tool I don't use on it is the parcel hook because the corkscrew is very useful for opening knots. You can screw it into the centre of a knot and just pull, never had it not work. It's slim enough that I can put it in the inside pocket of my jacket and it doesn't bother me. I don't carry any other blade unless I'm doing DIY

    I've carried one of my huntsman (or a Farmer + rambler) for years, I have a celidor and a wooden scaled one. ( I did some fancy filework on the main blade.) I've been carrying a compact on a Tec P7 pocket clip for about a year, for when I'm not in the woods. It's perfect. Nearly. Huntsmen are probably going to retire once I've got the Farmer X (due end of May)

Basically a Huntsman but without scissors, saw and that hook thing. The small blade absolutely essential I use it to clean nails, don't judge me! Hehehe. Recently added the small screwdriver fitting in the corkscrew, use it a lot.

    I just bought a SAK like a month ago, and went with the Nail Clipper one. I already carry a Leatherman Skeletool, and a Emerson-Kershaw knife, so I'm unlikely to need to use the SAK knife, but it's nice to have a good pair of clippers, file, and scissors on hand (since I always notice my nails getting long when I'm not at home). Slips in an Altoids tin with a few other useful things.
