So glad I picked one up recently, I had one as a kid that I lost and decided that 20 years later I should replace it. I would have been annoyed with myself if I'd missed out on these scales. Shame to see them go

I love the "Camping" scales and rather impulsively bought a camper in a sale only to find that it doesn't have scissors. Cue the "Ranger" which now lives in my camping box.

The Ranger is a great knife! I don’t always feel the need for scissors if I’m out walking in the woods or something for a few hours but would definitely include them for longer trips. Have you tried the Huntsman? Has the scissors but loses the file - it’s a brilliant ‘outdoors’ knife too. 👍✌️

I agree a Phillips driver is extremely useful - I just always find the back side Phillips quite limited due to its position - can’t get it into small spaces 🤷‍♂️ I just tend to use the can opener driver - works fine on most Phillips and pozidrive screws 👍

I am watching for the Explorer to be on sale right now, it is USD $52 with pouch as now. They do have the Huntsman on sale for USD $31.55 I really just want the scissors, so I might wait and buy the Classic SD when it is on sale, It is USD $23.97 right now. The Classic SD is small enough to but in my other pocket.

I got my camper with the "Camper" scales for $25 USD in late 2023.

It's as claimed, the 2 Camping Logo models the Camper & Ranger seem to be gone from Victorinox Global's main website leaving just the plain scaled Camper & Ranger models. I have a Camper with the Camping Logo on it & I took off the Camping Logo scales from a Ranger & replaced them with Navy disruptive pattern cammo scales & I put the Camping Logo scales on a new bought Huntsman that I gifted to a neighbours 18 year old son when he was drafted last year into the IDF.

I actually can’t remember - have had it for years and years. You’d be best emailing any shops stocking them to ask if it’s the camping logo version they have. Very unfortunate that Victorinox have scrapped them so I should think they’ll only get even harder to find ☹️

Seems a little odd not to have the hook on a "Camper" model, as one of the uses for the hook is pulling our stubborn tent pegs.

@accoutrements4469 True, but in this day and age, kids can't have knives, so I guess they don't sell ? Always miffed me that in the UK, the Ranger model only came with a camping logo on it, but at least that was a metal inlay. Back then, you couldn't buy spare scales like today.
