Unusual SAK. Rare?
Unusual SAK. Rare?
Is this Victorinox SAK anything special? I want to make sure before I give it to my son. It’s much larger than a regular SAK, the main blade locks. Thanks Ed
Re: Unusual SAK. Rare?
Your knife is a relatively rare slide-lock version of the Victorinox “Fireman”. It was manufactured sometime prior to the early 2000s. Additional information can be found at the included SakWiki link:

Thank you. I got it in the late 90’s. Gave it to my Dad. I found it in a tackle box recently. I had forgotten about it. Glad to finally know what it is.
