I'm obsessed with slipjoint knives in general, but here are two of my SAKs. I usually only buy the annual alox special edition if there's a color I like. Below is the 2015 blue pioneer and the 2025 red pioneer X.
Any Swiss Army Knife Fans?

Got my eye on the Victorinox Hunter (with the gutting blade.) $45 at WalMart.
BTW, Victorinox makes really nice kitchen knives too.

For those that have sent theirs in for overhaul, what was the website/link? I can't find it on Victorinox's website. Also, cost and lead time? My Champ could really use some work.
They apparently changed things last year. But, here is the only link I can find: https://www.victorinox.com/en-US/victorinox-travel-gear-three-year-warranty/cms/victorinox-travel-gear-three-year-warranty-legal/
There is a phone # and email address listed on that page.
It used to be simpler in the past, from what I remember.

I was deployed alongside the Swiss army. One of my friends I made gave me their issued Swiss Army knife. I've always thought it was cool. I bought some and included in my groomsman gifts when I got married.
I have essentially that same knife (the exterior is slightly different and the blade release is a push button Swiss Army shield).
It's well made but it's pretty heavy and large. I don't use it for EDC, but it does come in handy if I'm working outside, hiking, hunting, etc.
Anybody have a solid white Swiss Army knife?
I have wanted one, but the models I prefer don't come in that color. I have no use for a corkscrew, and I prefer the phillips screw driver.
On Reddit, someone claimed that they make some models in white that they don't export outside of their country. Not sure about that... Only saw that from 1 person.

They will take them from you if you try to take it out of the country. Depends if someone try's to claim them going thru customs, from what I was told.

LOVE these things. Been carrying them for over 25 years now. This is my current I carry. I swear I use the scissors more than a blade over the years. So thin and unassuming on a keychain. I don't always have my actual pocket knife on me as I wear athletic shorts a lot but I ALWAYS have my keys on me.
This describes me pretty near exactly. How many of them in those 25 years have you lost to the TSA?
A few for me but in recent years I've finally got in a habit of removing them from my keychains when I go to the airport.
That's my everyday carry. I think I bought it 20 years ago. Great knife.
