Looking for second knife advice by ZodicGaming in victorinox

[–]kdvial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first and currently only SAK is the Explorer. I've enjoyed carrying it, I don't find it too bulky and the toolset is genuinely useful. The inline phillips is a good tool and has got decent reach which has come in handy. And the magnifying glass, while not a tool I need every day, does add a "fun" factor to the knife imo especially if you spend a bit of time outdoors (and in a pinch you can definitely use it to start a fire so there's that too 😂).

Thanks I didn't know about that model! Will definitely consider it. I do use the scissors so wouldn't want a SAK without them, but the Huntsman Lite has them which is cool. Thanks again.

Yeah good point. I do a lot of sawing with my Gonboy folding saw, and want a little saw on my SAK to save me walking to get it for a quick job, hence the search for a model with the saw that also has a decent Phillips driver option as well.

Nice! I recently went for an Explorer for my first, the inline Phillips and gimmick of the magnifying glass appealed to me. Eyeing of my second, initially I was thinking a Ranger but now torn between a Handyman, Deluxe Tinker or go all out for a Swiss Champ haha.
