Re: Victorinox photo and discussion thread!
How do Victorinox's serrations compare to Spyderco's?
I've been carrying the Camper along side the Hawkbill for the last few days.

Re: Victorinox photo and discussion thread!
The victorinox blade is so thin and not very hard so the serrations break off easier than on a spyderco in my experiences

I've had a couple over the years, and still have a gray frame mag glass model from the late 80s. When pictured alone, they look huge. They're actually not bad to pocket carry at all, especially when you consider all the tools you get. Great comparison pic Spydergirl!

Do you still have this? Please pm meMushroom wrote: ↑Sat Jul 20, 2019 12:54 pmI'll have to get the few that I have right now together. Honestly, I've tried to avoid getting into Victorinox because of the potential rabbit hole to fall into. :D There are just so many cool models to choose from!
I thought this was a "Rambler" model, but it seems to have a couple more tools than the Ramblers I find when I search around.
Re: Victorinox photo and discussion thread!
I just found the bag of Victorinoxes I've accumulated over the years for sharpening practice - do these do well with thinner edges?

A very small ziptie, about an 1/8 inch wide. Something I've used a se Ladybug on several times and had zero chipping.VashHash wrote: ↑Wed May 13, 2020 3:38 amWhat were you cutting that broke the serrations?Spydergirl88 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 31, 2019 5:08 pmThe victorinox blade is so thin and not very hard so the serrations break off easier than on a spyderco in my experiences

Re: Victorinox photo and discussion thread!
I've had good luck with serrated Vic blades, but a fair amount of my usage could easily be accomplished with a Classic so I've not stressed mine very much.

No. Other end of the blade. I just tweaked the shape more to my liking. Subtle, but more point, less bullnose. Before and after shot...

Re: Victorinox photo and discussion thread!
I think you swapped the pic lol i didn't notice the point before. Nice

Thanks. It really is hardly noticeable, but just enough.

Inspired by someone’s vintage Spartan on Bladeforums, I had to have a couple wee clip points...
