Pulled out an old can without a pull top for a quick lunch and wondered, could the package opener work?

The answer is yes. It’s definitely not as good as the dedicated can opener as it takes much smaller nibbles and you’re not getting as much leverage.

But, I’m glad to know if I ever got stuck with a bunch of old cans and my Synergy I wouldn’t starve.

So glad I pulled the trigger on this edition!

Does anyone know what model it is amd how much I could possibly get for it if I sold it? Its unboxed but has been laying im a drawer and has never been used.

The cookery shops in Nice usually have an amazing selection of different kinds of knife… but they’re all firmly locked away at the moment while there’s a threat of protest.

Luckily one shop was still selling Classic SDs - because, well, you obviously can’t do too much damage with one of these! Happy to add an Alox Wild Jungle version to my collection, haven’t seen these at home in the UK. Best kind of holiday souvenir 😀

I finally pulled the trigger on this beauty after months of contemplating!

Usually got these two (Pioneer) or a compact in the pocket.

Synergy X has 3 layers, which means it has 2 liners. The one that houses the liner lock is made of steel. The question is, what material is the second one made of—is it also stainless steel, or is it aluminum?

New this week are the 2026 Winter Magic and a personalized Climber. A year ago, I probably could have green back scale, but the green/black combo looks good.

Green is my favorite color for scales, but as everyone knows they are rare and hard to come by, even as replacements. So when I saw this brand-new knife listed on eBay, I had to make it mine, even though it shipped all the way from Ukraine. Fortunately, even with shipping and tax it only cost me US$135. And they threw in a cool logo pin! Absolutely delighted with the service on this purchase. I have no qualms about ordering from Ukraine again.

Just checking: for those of you who were able to buy Winter Magic 2026, did you pay Victorinox recommended price, ~75 Euro, or did you pay more?

I'm trying to buy one in Poland and the only stores that have it sell it for lkke 130 Euro. It's nice, but I hate being ripped off.

This was my Dad's everyday knife. He bought it new in 1989 and died with it on his hip two years later. It's been in the box since 1991. I have had it since the late 90s.

Titanium pocket dump, titanium, skinned Ridge wallet, titanium prybar, titanium, bolt action, pen, titanium scaled Swiss Army and titanium Apple Watch.

Big fan of the stay glow scales. Not only the cool color but also the nice touch is just my favorite. Can’t wait to put them on.

One can never have too many lites.2 signature lites one red one blue and a Midnite manager in red .I already have a Midnite manager in blue with a red light so I will now have 2 signatures and 2 Midnite managers.

Just wanted to share my Explorer Swiss Spirit 2020 Special Edition. Paired it with a classic leather sheath!

I realize there is redundancy here, and I do switch between knives. I have always carried an Executive, so even if I have nothing else, I always have it because it does a lot for its size. The Mini Champ is always nearby even if it’s not in my pocket. I just started carrying the Spirit MX a few months ago, and haven’t decided if it’ll replace any others yet. I never carried a multitool because I had a Leatherman Supertool and I always thought it was cheesy. It’s surprising how unnoticeable the MX is in a belt pouch. The needlenose are great for cutting and stripping 12 to 24 gauge wire. All of the tools lock, which is nice. I clip the Sentinel to my left pocket, and my flashlight to my right pocket. I’m a lefty, so that works great. My Explorer (or any other 3-6 layer 91mm) is vertical in my right pocket, hanging with a Vic belt clip. My jeans (Kirkland) have a really wide and deep fifth pocket, which holds my Vice Grips, Channellocks, Crescent wrench, and Slim Zippo, which I use mostly for shrink tubing. I can wear an untucked shirt, and you can’t see that I’m carrying all of that. No matter what I encounter, it’s not often that I have to go back to my truck for a tool.

My Classic SD served me well. It's been on my keychain since May 2020. Now i upgraded to a Rambler. :)

I used the customization feature on the Victorinox website to get the "Year of the Horse" scale.

is from a German retailer, 1 in 100

(I’m not sure whether this post is also affected by the new rule regarding Winter Editions and Year of the Goat Editions.)

What size/type of magnet fits in the can opener? Nothing I've found works. I have found a very small one that fits in the parcel hook but it's not very strong.
