Been carrying the Farmer almost two decades, best outdoor folder ever

I bought mine so I could retire my old style Victorinox German Army Knife as they are getting hard to replace. It's got many of the same qualities, tougher scales than the red plastic ones, a little beefier/longer blade, a saw and a better reamer than the red knives. They're resilient as you said. I'm told what makes you a better human being is how you react to loss or failure, not that you loose or fail, the only person who never fails is one that never tries. Maybe your SAK is also your symbol you're willing to make adjustments along the way too. A good symbol!

If you ever need to replace or compliment that knife you should take a look at the Farmer X which is the same knife but with victorinoxs fantastic scissors.

Do you carry the Farmer X? I’ve definitely considered it, but wondering if the extra layer would make it too bulky and heavy for my pocket. How do you find carrying it? I almost always have keys with me that include a small SAK with scissors… would I find enough value in the larger scissors to justify?… thoughts?

@@pocketknives_and_harmonicas I do carry it and i have a belt case for it in leather. I sometimes pocket carry with a pocket clip on the split ring to keep the knife vertical in the pocket. It is just 3mm (3/32") thicker than a 2 layer Victorinox with plastic scales. I, personally, prefer the slightly thicker handle on the Farmer X, it is more handfilling. The bigger scissors is as you can expect: Bigger and sturdier than the smallest but the same precision and quality. It is really a joy to work with. I always pocket carry a smaller Victorinox Director in a leather sheath for personal care stuff. It is a good idea to double carry. I hope i have been somewhat helpful, good luck and enjoy the outdoors.

Talking about pocket knives in a lovely location is my sort of channel - subscribed😁👍. I've tried hard (for 8 years!!) to carry the Swiss Champ daily, but its a bit of a weight in the pocket so I'll keep it just for the backpack. The Farmer is a great edc knife and the fact it is pocket friendly and has a wood saw sold it to me. As you say the build quality is really good too. Sometimes I feel like packing a bag and disappearing into the woods for a while.....well if/when that time comes this knife will be in my pocket. Love the spoon clip :)

Thanks for sharing about your Alox Farmer Victorinox, I have the Pioneer X and it's the same thing but with scissors in lieu of the saw. I agree with you the alox series is definitely built a little more robustly that the standard selador models are. 👍Take care my friend and Cheers!

Hi, Farmer is a funny name, in fact this is the original Swiss army knife provided to Swiss soldiers in the seventies and eighties, it has plenty of official uses especially on the Fass57 gun we had back then. Officers got the one with the korkscrew to drink wine ;)

When I'm at home my hat sits on the table upside down, and inside it are a SAK Farmer knife, my wallet, and keys. I may leave the house without wallet, keys, or even the hat... but I NEVER leave without that knife in my pocket. I bought it 15 years ago when I was working the oil rigs, somehow having a few sort of special little things along helped me feel a little more human while living in remote work camps for nearly a month at a time.

I have the Victorinox Pioneer. My ex-husband came home from work one day in 1987 - he was in the South African Army - and he picked up 2 of them at the Army Shop for R3.75 EACH. They are now R700! The blade got nicked and looks a little beat-up after the nick was ground out on a workshop bench grinder but otherwise the thing looks as good as new!

I bought a bunch of spoons from the local thrift store. It’s really just one cut to take off the spoon part, then bend it around a steel rod or screw driver shaft, drill a small hole in the end, a few little adjustments with a ball peen hammer and Bob’s your uncle. Works great and virtually free 🤪

Great knife and great bike.👍 I had the KLX 300 before the Husky 501. If it weren’t for so many freeway miles I’d have kept the 300 forever I think. I hope aseptember went well for you with the Farmer.
@pocketknives_and_harmonicas

I agree that if there are more highways in your life, the klx300 would be punishing in the man bits 🤪. I live on a bit of coastline with ferry access only and about 70-80 miles of highway and hundreds of miles of logging roads. So the klx300 is working for me. I bet the Husky is a nice bike! I thought I would try to carry the Farmer for September, but We are well into October and it is still in my pocket. I miss my other slipjoints, but the Farmer is too useful at the moment. Funny how life goes when you just go with the flow as much as possible. You take care…. Tomorrow’s Friday!

@@pocketknives_and_harmonicas Sounds like an ideal place to live! I’m on the coast in Humboldt County CA. I’ve been a bit of a motorcycle nut for over 50 years. The advantage to age is having tried a lot of things in life, I guess. 😂 But, my affinity for Boy Scout knives brought me around to the Victorinox Swiss Army knives again and that was how I found your channel. There is nothing wrong with finding a knife that works well for you. That’s how we find out all those uses that we love. I agree the Farmer is totally carry worthy. I love the saw! I just purchased an Outrider and I like it, but it’s a big pocket knife. It might become relegated to my camping pack. Either the Farmer, Pioneer, or Farmer X will be heading back into my pocket soon. Take care and an early TGIF to you this week!
