    Nice find! I think the AUS stock went up in price this year as well.

    • RichardL on 19/06/2023 - 23:49

      That's correct, all Victorinox SAK went up earlier this year.

    Are these illegal to EDC?

    • RichardL on 20/06/2023 - 00:08

      Varies from state to state.

      For example in ACT:

      Does this mean my Swiss army knife is now a prohibited weapon?
      Swiss army knives are not considered prohibited weapons, however, be mindful of carrying such items in public if you do not have a lawful excuse, such as needing it for work.

    • OZKap on 20/06/2023 - 00:17

      IIRC only in QLD are you allowed to carry a pocket knife for general "utility purposes", all other states you need a specific reason.

      • cannedhams on 20/06/2023 - 07:04
        +1

        Thats what section 51 of weapons act says, but Qld police will charge you anyway if they find you in the street with a SAK in your pocket. It has been an issue for some time.

          A competent lawyer will get that thrown out. The legislative intent is very clear.

            • Wafflel on 20/06/2023 - 10:31

              @G-rig: You can stab someone with a pen, what is your point? You can harm someone with just about anything if you are intent on doing so.

              The legislative intent of putting Swiss army knives as an example of a lawful excuse in the legislation was (and is) very clear; they have a multitude of tools which make them very useful for general utility purposes (i.e everyday tasks) and their design makes them impractical weapons.

              Consult a lawyer if ever challenged and you'll be fine. Just don't enter schools or restricted areas.

          • cannedhams on 20/06/2023 - 19:49

            @Wafflel: Yes and that will cost you much more than a $27 SAK

        • djsweet on 20/06/2023 - 12:15

          Is it though? Not in QLD, but I've never even heard of anyone getting done for carrying a utility knife / multitool.

          • cannedhams on 20/06/2023 - 19:53

            @djsweet: I see it at least once every month or couple of months. In terms of specifics, there was a matter that went to district court, an electrician charged with possession of a boxcutter. Cant remember the name but it was reported. It was quashed on appeal, but still…

              -1

              @cannedhams: I'd be interested to have the citation please. A district court case quashed on appeal would make binding case law.

            • djsweet on 21/06/2023 - 09:54

              @cannedhams: Wow thats nuts. Why would the cops bother bringing this kind of stuff to court which is obviously not going to stand up? Even with the non-QLD laws, you can have one with a lawful excuse. Seems vague enough to get let off anyway. Your Honour, I was going to a friend's house for a drink and I need it to remove the cork from the bottle.

      Ive been carrying some form of pocket/utility knife in my everyday backpack/laptop bag for 20 years without any issues. They're a tool with many uses.

      Be responsible with it, and not paranoid.

            @capslock janitor: on the Gold Coast the pigs walk around with metal detectors looking for people carrying knives

      • x x on 20/06/2023 - 18:04

        you've been very lucky not to be searched by the police during that time

        • Reggyscum on 22/06/2023 - 12:08

          Anecdotal, but I've never seen or heard of a police officer stopping someone at random and search their bag. If they dont have a reason to search you, they're not going to.

    • CarpeDiem295 on 20/06/2023 - 18:19

      Nsw only carry a knife if you use it for work and dont go thinking you can just carry one and just say its for work.

  • Cludo on 20/06/2023 - 00:08

    As a kid I used to want one of these so badly.
    Do people actually find them useful? They look so small and finicky

    • RichardL on 20/06/2023 - 00:10
      +6

      I have mine on my keys and use the knife and scissors to open packages regularly.

      • rwps on 20/06/2023 - 07:59
        +2

        Interesting, I actually use my main house key (normal lockwood front door key) to open packages. And I mostly have a good stanley knife on hand too.
        the key is efficient and safe (I can be brutal opening the box, and never stress about a cut).
        Would never go back to a knife for standard boxes and tape.

      • ihbh on 20/06/2023 - 09:47

      How many times in your life have you found yourself needing a knife, screwdriver or scissors?

    • bargainman1 on 20/06/2023 - 00:12

      I use mine atleast once a week.

      Bought 3 more as gifts.

    • OZKap on 20/06/2023 - 00:20
      +1

      They're very handy. This specific one is a bit small for me, but I carried a victorinox Tinker for a long time, before moving on to Leatherman Skeletool/One Hand Tool. Pliers and one-hand access to tools.

    • t25 on 20/06/2023 - 00:32
      +1

      I actually prefer this for opening boxes.

      Much more practical since I can replace the blades cheaply. A SAK is useful as a keychain accessory that is useful for smaller tasks.

    • askvictor on 20/06/2023 - 06:55

      Yes. Mine has a Phillips screwdriver and pen, I use those at least one a week, and with the knife

    • Wafflel on 20/06/2023 - 10:38
      +3

      Incredibly useful for me. I carry the Explorer on a daily basis when I'm out and about. Some examples are:

      • scissors are good for opening packages that aren't boxes, or cutting paper, string, cord etc.
      • knives for opening boxes or letters, cutting fruit, or opening an avocado.
      • bottle opener for bottles
      • screwdrivers for screws, or for using the tip to pry off small things (useful for opening up electronics or removing a watch case back)
      • corkscrew for wine bottles
      • magnifier for serial numbers or food ingredients on small packages. Actually really useful especially if you have poor vision
      • sim removal tool for anyone needing to change their sim card, this makes you very popular in the office. It's an aftermarket purchase.

      These are just off the top of my head. They are seriously so useful. Anyone suggesting you don't need one probably finds themselves scrambling to find tools or asking others if they can borrow something pretty often.

    • CookieJacker31 on 20/06/2023 - 12:19

      Does this count trimming my old man eyebrows with the scissors? If yes, often!

      Knife, nail file, scissors, screw driver, tweezers, tooth pick, key ring

    • G-rig on 20/06/2023 - 05:45

      Yeah doesn't look like much, must be a small flathead screwdriver on the end of the nail file.

      • ak47wong on 20/06/2023 - 10:36

        That's what the SD stands for: screwdriver. The non-SD Classic has a pointed end on the nail file, meant to be a nail cleaner. It's not sold in many countries any more.

        • G-rig on 20/06/2023 - 11:11

          Yeah I got enough folding and multi tools, some of the bicycle brand ones are very handy. Can open boxes with a key or pen even.

    In my personal experience no other manufacturer comes close to Victorinox’s fit & finish. I’ve had dozens of Victorinox’s SAKs including their pliers based multi tools. All are just beautifully engineered, super smooth and easy to clean.
    To anyone wanting to edc a SAK i recommend a suspension clip to hang it in your pocket or waistband. Even my four layer Explorer carries beautifully with a suspension clip.

  • simmo1985 on 20/06/2023 - 07:11

    Highly recommend looking at a Rambler or Manager model over the Classic. The Philips combo tool is a game changer. I've been EDCing one for probably 10 years.

    • jallen89 on 20/06/2023 - 07:15

      Hell yeah. Love the Philip combo tool on my Rambler. Amazing how much a small driver fits a PH2 screw.

    • theo96 on 20/06/2023 - 15:13

      Same, I've had a Rambler for more than 10 years and find it much better than the Classic. Besides the Philips combo tool, the way the knife opens away from the key-chain makes it much more ergonomical. But I think it's discontinued unfortunately.

  • WasBargain on 20/06/2023 - 08:05
