I have the Spartan, but then I was given a Leatherman Wave and the Spartan was relegated to reserve corkscrew…

I love my Swiss Army knives. Around the house, I use the Putterer. When camping, I need something a little more advanced (survival, you know) and rely on my Fershlugginer. At work, I need something a little more technical. My Quackmeister fills the bill.
::::phew::::: I couldn’t find mine on the web site, and I thought I might be in posession of a counterfit. Those pliers come in handy all. the. time.
I have a Tinker that I bought in Germany 12 years ago. The red plastic sides have fallen off, so it has a really neat all-metal look. I have that on my keychain and a regular Leatherman in my bag.
I have the explorer…how great it is to have a magnifying glass on a knife.
Would like some pliers as well with it but that will be the next one to get.
I’ve got the Ranger, a monster of a knife, but it makes a really nice bulge. 
I carry a SWISSTOOL at work, it comes in handy regularly, I had a GERBER but the new rules offshore say “no non locking knife blades” so I bought the SWISSTOOL, it was expensive but worth every penny.

Bought mine the first year I worked in Switzerland, 1981.
Carry it with me at all times - it has repaired many an item, saved a celebrity-filled black tie affair (can you believe the caterers forgot to bring a single corkscrew with 25 cases of wine! You should have seen those folks opening every bottle with the little corkscrew on my knife - ha!) and has only gotten lost once, briefly, when it fell out of my pocket in the car and slid under the seat.
Only damage was when I lent it to my boss who used the KNIFE as a screwdriver and bent the tip.
Luckily I don’t fly all that often, and have to remember to leave the knife in the glove compartment when I go to pick people up at the airport.
I can’t begin to tell you how often people will be trying to fix something and I hear, “Go ask DMark - he has a Swiss Army knife…”
I used to have a Gerber multi-plier, but I lost it sometime around Thanksgiving. I’m still kicking myself over it, as it was the kind with the long serrated and straight blades, the kind they don’t make anymore.
A “Classic” in my pocket and a “Outrider” with the camping gear.
A black Time Keeper. I love that thing. My parents got it for me about 15 years ago in Switzerland, and I’ve never had to change the watch battery. Amazing. Maybe there’s a tiny hamster in there who feeds on pocket lint.
Mine has a grappling hook and a surgical laser. Cost me a bundle.
3 broken Classics in red, all from my empoyer’s FOD program.
Currently carry a Classic SD in transparent blue.
A Wenger is better than a Victorinox? In any way? No way! Nuh-uh! Liar, liar, pants on fire! I can’t hear you- la la la la la la!
(Note: Victorinox is the ORIGINAL SAK, and Wenger is the GENUINE one. Both companies have a contract with the Swiss Army, so they are both “real”. Just for the sake of this poll, any multi-blade knife, multi-tool or nailclippers (as long as they have the file that flips out) count.)
(But Victorinox is best.)
And: Most of the Victorinox SAK’s on one page, mostly with pictures.

When I went to Europe in 1998, our bus was driving towards Luzern when the tour guide passed around an order form for knives if we wanted to get one. I was about to order the Climber, for 29 Swiss Francs, but then spotted the bigass serrated blade on the Huntsman and had to have it (for a mere 5 francs more).
When I got to the store, they were out of black Huntsmans, so I got mine in camouflage, with my initials engraved on the back.
I have used that thing hundreds of times, and have found several good uses for that bigass blade - it was a good investment!
I have this watch.

And this knife.

Red Explorer, only mine predates that grappling hook doohickey. I use the scissors the most.
I hear they sell better than the Swiss Army Napkin Holder.
I have the Spartan, though I lost the tweezers and toothpick. I bought it several years ago, in Saltzburg, I think. It comes in handy, though I don’t carry it around with me anymore. I keep it on my dresser or in the kitchen.
