    My name is Matt and I have a problem... I need more Victorinox! Seriously, I do love Victorinox knives and tools. It is one of my favorite knife brands. For Christmas my brother got me another to add to my modest collection. A camo Trekker with serrated blade. Funny thing is I hate serrations but I love the ones on Trekkers. Anyone else have a healthy addiction for Victorinox blades?

    I'm embarrassed but, to tell the truth, I didn't know they made blades. I have two pieces of Victorinox luggage and I think they are superior to anything else out there.

    I didn't know they had single blades, like your camo knife and that's maybe not a good thing...hahaha.

    I've been a fan of the Tinker for 30 years and have as many as I see you have, (3). They endure a lot of abuse. Just yesterday I cut through wire with the big blade...(I know it's disrespectful, but it put up with the abuse).

    I have a tiny little one, too, with a scissors and fingernail file.

    All of my butchering knives are Victorinox. I’ve owned a Swiss Army knife a time or two throughout my life, but moved away from those to a standard folder (not Victronix). But I absolutely love all of mine :thumbsup:

    I carry a one-handed Trekker pretty much all the time. Very useful, especially the saw blade, which I thought would never see use. I like the serrations at the tip of the blade, too.

    I am an addict. When i see them on sale, i buy an extra. When i find them used in theift shops i buy them. I have them everywhere and use them for their tools as they are so handy. And their plastic handled kitchen knives are both terrific and reasonable.

    That brings back memories. I wonder where my old one went.

    I actually bought one a while back as a going away gift for a female co-worker, ya she was sort of survivalist cool in a mom like package. Weird.

    been carrying Victorinox since about 12 (now 57) when my father gave me my first. Never pulled out them all to take a pic. I agree with the Tinker being my fav to carry daily. Also like the camper for cutting holes in drywall. I"m not a fan of the translucent scales but doesn't mean i won't buy them.

    They do make fantastic gifts! Sounds like an awesome women!

    I only discovered their greatness about two years ago, but I have had one with me almost every day since.

    The Victorinox SwissTool Spirit X is my favorite multitool. I have several Gerbers and Leathermans including two Waves, but I still prefer the Spirit X. It's fit and finish and comfort when using it are years ahead of Leatherman and Gerber, and I think the tools are more versatile too.

    I want a Spirit X too. I am a HUGE Leatherman Super Tool 300 and Rebar fan, but my Swisstool X seems to be on my belt a lot more that the others. The tool set on the Swisstool X is as close to perfection as can be for my needs. I agree, the finish is superior to any other multitool I have owned.

    I’ll add that I love the jaw-dropping when I whip out the tinker and help someone with the phillips head screwdriver.

    I am the butt of many "utility belt" jokes at work simply because I don't leave home without a multitool. Ever. I am also the first person they go to when they need a screw driver, knife, or pliers. lol

    When I've been in demand at the office I usually followed up my repair with, "A real man carries a knife", just to rub it in a little :D

    Yup, whenever someone needs a knife or "tool" they ask me. I keep telling them they should get one of their own, their response "why we have you".
