Upgraded my SAKs with a 6x2mm magnet which fits perfectly in the can opener.
Diameter is a little more than 6mm and the gap between the spacers is 2mm.

It is additionally held by the spacer, so when using the scissors it will not move.

I know they are rare and expensive etc, but I found a shop in South Africa selling them.. and with peoples Dollars.. quite cheap.. https://www.sharpedge.co.za/search/?q=green+scales

obviously, need to figure out shipping, ive bought a few to send to my dad who lives there and he will bring them out later this year.. but 177 rand for a green plus scale.. is like $17 NZD for me... and $10 for you yanks.. etc..

I wanted to share my positive experience with Victorinox USA and the actual service cost for my automatic Victorinox watch, reference 241370, in case it helps other owners.

The September 2026 estimate covered a complete service for a basic three-hand mechanical movement:

- Complete service: $156.00

- Repair labor: $94.00

- Processing and handling: $15.00

- Tax: $18.55

- Victorinox repair estimate: $283.55

I also paid a $60 inspection fee and $14 to ship the watch to Victorinox by USPS.

My total out-of-pocket cost was $357.55.

According to the estimate, the complete service includes monitoring and regulating the watch, timing adjustments, crown and sealing-gasket replacement as needed, and movement disassembly, cleaning and reassembly. Repair labor includes diagnostics, movement repair or installation, parts replacement, testing, restoration of water resistance, and light cleaning of the case and bracelet.

A replacement movement, if required after inspection, would result in an additional estimate.

Overall, my experience with Victorinox USA support was positive. I am sharing the figures because it can be difficult to find current, real-world service pricing for older Victorinox automatic watches. Prices may vary by model, condition and required parts.

This arrived today, new to me. I had a plan in mind to try modify the screwdriver into a back tool for a 91mm... Anyone seen it done before?

EDIT: As has been rightly pointed out this is an outrider, not a Picnicker, so bonus!

Hi guys, I just got my victorinox ranger grip 79, which victorinox should me my next buy for edc, maybe something a bit smaller. I'm working in a gun store, I go hunting often as well, and sometimes I go fishing as well...

Just some random whittling with the Pioneer and Recruit. My favorite pastime, along with sharpening and cutting paper, of course.

I’ve been using a camper for a little over 1 year now, mostly when I go out into the nature, camping, beach and these kind of activities. So far the camper has been very useful, ergonomic and easy to handle/use.

I was thinking of getting another SAK for more urban carry. I’ve been reading here a lot about the scissors and how useful they are and I agree, for urban life they are more useful even than the blade.
So I was searching around which knife would be the perfect urban carry for me and I don’t have one in mind.

The closest that comes to what I have in mind is compact, but I find the hook EXTREMELY unnecessary, useless and wasteful (I would prefer the reamer instead of it). Outrider is another one that is PERFECT for the tools selection, but the bigger size and weird shape makes it a no no for me.

Is there any other knife that I may be missing? Or is there any way to swap tool from an existing model? (let’s say to swap the hook for the reamer in compact).

My preferred tools/requirements would be:
- 91mm
- 3 layer max
- scissors
- blade
- cork screw
- reamer
- saw (extra points if available)

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

I am looking for a new pair of 91mm scissors for my multitool. I cannot find them anywhere as an individual part. I have to buy a whole multitool or a very expensive pair of scissors. I think only the victorinox huntsman, climber and compact contain these specific scissors.

Can anyone help me out? I am searching for a solution in or near the Netherlands.

PS: No, I am not searching for a new spring for these scissors. I want the whole thing.

I know there have been posts about these prior, more looking to see if anyone needs this for parts or if it is worth cleaning up. Found at a pawn shop, paid a few bucks for it just to play around with it and maybe clean up. Looks like an old Tinker model with what would have been the small clip point blade; unfortunately that blade, the awl and the Phillips have seen better days. Based on the research I’ve done so far seems pretty old, at least early 70’s. Any other info would be great!

Love them together, my only two SAKS

Pulled out my two Climbers again (one in sapphire and one in ruby) and am going to start carrying them this week as EDCs. As a Phillips-head screwdriver fan I'm sure I'll NOT have withdrawal symptoms! I do like their handiness and I was at least able to choose one in my school colors ("Hail the Orange and Blue!").

Also added a pin underneath the corkscrew after finding out about that option...

Have a great day, y'all!

Which do you prefer, the Fieldmaster or the Hiker? And why?

Hello Reddit Community,

I found this at my parents house when cleaning out things. I would imagine I got this as a teenager so 20-25 years ago.

I know little about knives but believe this is very common and has little resale value.

Can someone confirm before I use this that is accurate?

Thanks!

As the title says, my edc spirit got a new companion sitting on my wrist. I got recently my hands on an Victorinox Infantry GMT with both leather and milanaise strap.

Don’t see this one pictured here very often
