I've had this one since about 1980. Opened up countless fish, birds, even an antelope. Very useful knife photo upload

Which model is it? I don't think I have any pictures but I have an orange alox Cadet, silver alox Pioneer and Farmer and a Hiker. For the money the Victorinox knives are hard to beat for build quality. Very handy and easy to carry.

Geez.. I can hardly remember what I had for breakfast, let alone what this model is named.. maybe Officer Suisse? Bought it while in Switzerland

I really enjoy the performance/price point of their kitchen knives. Likely not what you intended for this thread but their various kitchen knives are a sweet spot.

Can't post pics but pretty much all I carry for work and everyday chores around the house. Have used the saws for cutting deer bones in the field, to PVC around the house. Use them all the time, beauty is pick them up dirt cheap at swap meets . Last forever and very handy.

I have a whole bunch of their kitchen and butcher knives. In fact, my son killed a 10 point buck Saturday and we processed it yesterday with a couple Victorinox Boners.

Woodson, I have a filet knife that I've come to like very much. It arrived new dull as a stick, but is very easy to put an edge on. I use it mostly for game processing at home.

I'm a fan of SAKs. I have several, but my EDC is a Huntsman model with the red matte handles. Sorry, no pix.

Here’s one I picked up in Grindelwald Switzerland in February 1989: Victorinox “Classic”... Gave one of these to each of the groomsmen at my wedding, August 1985... this one has been with me on every backpack trip since then: Somewhere I have a Victorinox my dad gave me in 1974...

I have a couple, but this one handed Trekker goes with me every time I am afield. The Swiss Tool usually goes too. The blades lock on the Trekker, and it has a good saw.
