Victorinox "Compact" & "Executive".

I lost count but have about a half dozen of each model scattered about in my briefcases, packpacks, camera bags, cars, etc..

A good all around tool for us cityfolk, acceptable by NKP, and is useful in the office, picnics in the park, and weekend get-aways in the outdoors.

I LOVE the Alox models, but hate carrying anything on my belt of free-floating in a pocket, so I generally have an Alox Pioneer in my backpack, as well as a SwissTool Spirit.

I just carry a Rambler because it has the mini scissors and it is tiny enough to go on my keyring. The Spyderco Bug goes on my other bunch of keys :D
My spydies: Squeak, Tenacious, Terzuola, D'Allara, UKPK CF peel-ply pre-production, UKPK CF smooth pre-production, UKPK G10 orange leaf-blade, UKPK FRN grey drop-point, UKPK FRN maroon leaf-blade, Bug ... all PE blades :)

Cadet in Alox. I keep it on my keys.

A Farmer in front pocket, a Swiss Tool and a Climber in Bachpack.

Most of the time...the SAK-addiction ist nearly as bad as with the Spyders ;-)

Most days I have a Victorinox Climber Deluxe in my bag. It's actually bigger than I'd really like (both pliers and scissors) but that's the price of including every tool I thought might be useful. Definitely handy to have, though I don't have to call upon it too often.

A Bachpack, I like the sound of that! :)

A little typo here and there...lightens the day ;-)

Backpack was what I meant.

And I forgot the Vic Rambler in the Maxpedition Barnacle on the shoulderstrap!

I'm going through a bit of a Wenger phase lately. My two most used ones at the moment are an Evolution 17 (similar tool selection to a Vic Huntsman) and an EvoGrip 16 (similar to a Vic Super Tinker). These medium models cover my needs nicely without taking too much pocket space. I've got my trusty SwissTool Spirit with the extra ratchet and bits in my backpack.

Man that green is just so beautiful!
Everyday on my keys, I swear the moment Spyderco puts a pair of scissors on a Ladybug this is going back to the drawer. :D

^ Wenger went bankrupt in '06. Victorinox now owns Wenger, but they just kept the other brand name and product line to; offer different products, sell products to those who were unaware of this fact, historical value (?)

I personally never liked Wenger models.

I carry the Rancher every day. But I also have the Soldier, although I leave that at home a lot because I like it more than the Rancher. I have dropped the Rancher and its slightly marred.

I carry a Victorinox Explorer in my briefcase. The magnifying glass gets used the most.

I occasionally carry a Victorinox Soldier '05 model. Very nice EDC knife, doesn't keep an edge like most modern supersteels but it works good enough.

I will sometimes carry an alox cadet in my blazer pocket for formal occasions.

Just paid for an orange alox pioneer, can't wait to see that in person

Compact and Electrician get about equal carry time, and I keep a Spirit in my bag at work.
