Re: Swiss Knife Collection
I usually carry Victorinox Spartan White Swiss army knife for my everyday carry. It seems good for me but I am thinking of getting a new swiss knife. Can you suggest me with some good knives.

Hi, I EDC a Leatherman Squirt PS4 which meets my needs. In Victorinox, I would suggest you to check Farmer and Pioneer models.harshit89 wrote:I usually carry Victorinox Spartan White Swiss army knife for my everyday carry.

The best and practical Swiss knife available in Iindia is Perhaps Victorinox workchamp 110mm

Re: Swiss Knife Collection
I love to keep the Victorinox Swiss army knife for my everyday carry and even at my work place.
Keep knives in your pocket and pray that you will never need it

Re: Swiss Knife Collection
Hey Victorinox fans,
I have a short story to tell, very short - I had the opportunity of visting their stall at the FHA (Food & Hotel Asia) April, 2016 in Singapore.
Victorinox is in the field of Culinary Knives too. They had some very high tech butcher's gloves - which did not fit my tiny hand. Absolutely bullet-proof - those gloves - look and feel like fabric!
I wonder if the Knights of yore might have made some use of them?
What a stall! They had a giant, mechanised folder on display - opening all the blades and closing - all in shiny S/S - I was drooling!
Then the demostrator managed to cut himself on some of the super sharp display knves, while extracting one for me to look at! Do you think he was faking it?
Nah - I had to dig out a spare Band-Aid strip I was carrying in my EDC (very large leather sling bag by HIDESIGN).
!
And then guess what - he (cool Vic Guy) presented me with three kitchen knives AND three pocket folders!
Shall post images when I recover from the shock/cut?!
Drool - is the only word knife lovers!![like (y)](./images/smilies/thumbs_up.png)
![Cheers! :cheers:](./images/smilies/icon_cheers.gif)
