No it does not.


My EDC is a Swiss Champ with a Farmer as my back up knife. Gives me the best bang for my buck.

Buy a Farmer. I'd you have Grandsons, or expect to have 'em, buy them one each.

i have a custom titanium-scaled Mini Champ made by sakmodder (aka: Syph007).

his quality is stunning. fantastic workmanship. first rate.

I have, on occasion, bought two -- or three-- brand new ones, to have a spare or two of my favorite model.

TeacherRO,that is an excelent idea.Victorinox has discontinued a favorite model.Mine was the Champion that is no longer made.

I have a Cadet as a regular part of my EDC now. Honestly, for the type of use it sees, I find its tool-set to be more than adequate for my day-to-day needs. It's also a good looking knife and fits very nicely in the pocket (noticeably better than a regular SAK).

Also, MEC stocks them ($32 currently) so you could always pick one up & give it a try with the option of returning it if it doesn't fit your needs.

bacpacboy has a SAK Camper that he adores. He even did a video review of it. Here's a link to it:

Stu sent me a SAK Camper and I completely agree with BacPacBoy's critique of this knife. It is my work EDC knife!!!

I actually just missed out on a pair of alox pioneers on eBay for $17. Son of a .......

Denis. Thanks for the tip on MEC. Never even thought of looking there. I believe they ship free within Canada as well.

Regarding the Camper, I like this model too although my favourite outdoorsy Victorinox SAK is the Hiker; it is essentially the same as the Camper but with a Phillips screwdriver instead of the corkscrew. Personally, I find that to be a slightly more useful implement. That said, I find the Cadet to be a better urban EDC tool due to its vastly better pocketability and the relative uselessness of the saw in the city (the nail cleaner/file is also a good substitute for the second, smaller knife blade).

Actually, while I don't have the Hiker, I do have a Scouts Canada branded Wenger S13 which is basically the same as the Hiker, but with a locking main blade and a nail cleaner/file instead of the smaller blade. However, I just found out Wenger knives are no longer being made (Victorinox has deep-sixed the brand) but maybe something similar might find its way into the Victorinox lineup.
