Ever since I was a kid I've always made sure I have a Victorinox . Got my first one in the 80s, and now I have several. I put one in my haversack, another in my first aid kit, etc, etc. You always want a larger knife, too - but these little fellas are so handy. I prefer them over a Leatherman 100%

On the Pioneer range of knives you can just use the sharp edge of the awl. Works great. Something even better is to grind an edge on the inside curve of the cap lifter. All Victorinox knives before about 1980 came from the factory this way. This gives you more surface on the ferro rod.

I’m using the scissors in victorinox swisschamp for more than 25 years mainly for clipping fingernails and it is still as sharp as new. The self-sharpening feature seems to keep it that way. I don’t do my toenails with it (use clippers) so it’s just fingernails and it the fingernail thickness and hardness differs from person to person so it’s not a guarantee, but at the least I can say the scissors will last very long as far as you don’t put extreme jobs on it.

I love the Alox scales, but I am more tempted to get a minimalist Bantam (or Pioneer X) with them for urban EDC than for outdoor use. Currently looking at the Huntsman for this as the hook and corkscrew seem useful along with tweezers and toothpick (that you can swap out with a Firefly ferro rod, too). A slightly bigger alternative with a locking blade would be the Outrider, but it comes with less tools.

Now I need to either order a leather pocket slip for the 4 layer Farmer X or use a spare 2-3 layer 111mm slip that I already have, I tried a 3 layer Pioneer X in it & its not a very tight fit so I believe that the 111mm slip will expand enough to hold the Farmer X

IMHO the Alox-series is rather expensive compared to the plastic scale ones. I actually carry an Outrider- larger scale (115mm), locking blade, saw and scissors longer too - and most of all: I got a "Bosch"-merchandise one for 19,95€ - can't beat that, regular price is 57€ in the EU. If you're unlucky with plastic scales, just take them off and grind down the scale-holders. The Outrider comes with cork-screw, tweezers and tooth-pick too, you can replace the tooth-pick by a Tortoise Gear "firefly" and fill the corkscrew with Helix Tinder from Tortoise Gear, makes it a small survival-kit of it's own.

I love my farmer but i always wished it had scissors as well, and now i can have it, its great.What i would really love though is for them to offer it in various colours from the start, but i guess you cant have everything, i ill get the silver one and probably will get the coloured version as well (hope its green) when it gets released!

Fun SAK fact: the tweezers in combination with the corkscrew on models so equipped are handy as an improvised roach clip at parties. Maybe you have to have gone to high school in the 70's to understand any of that. I should post a video...

A Smith A roach clip could come in handy for other things than what it was used for in the 70s too. ;-) How do you do that? Put the tweezers on the edge of the cork screw and the fold it down?

i carry folding scissors on my keys. i always have my keys. or i am home. most urban cutting you need can be done with just scissors. knife is an extra. i like to carry one, but scissors should be sufficient for EDC.

I really want a model with the blade, saw, awl, and a hook bar. Those are the only things I want on a Swiss army knife

The Farmer X Elox (red) is my EDC. It IS the perfect pocket piece. Now add the long metal file and it would be perfect-er.

Checkout the Victorinox Ranger, it includes a file.

@@kenkowalski5996 Agreed. The Ranger is a nice knife. But it suffers from having Cellidor scales, so without the preferred ALOX build it’s not nearly as robust as the ALOX series, the main blade is slimmer, it doesn’t have that heavy awl on the end where it should be, etc. There is indeed an ideal SAK out there among the many, many designs. Good thing I’m not picky. 😄
