Tobias, my friend, you're brave storing your knives in their leather sheaths.

Ron & Steve... I don't know if I should be honored or embarrassed!  Either way I'm in the process of moving the my scout knives to another wall.  I need more room.  I plan on mingling them in with my SAKs for the time being.  My current wall only has room for 75 and I need to increase that number to at least 100. What's worse, is I'm probably still going to be rotating knives for display purposes.

Strangely the problem isn't due to a recent increase in SAKs or Scout knives but the addition of more fixed blade hunting knives that I want to display. I only have room for nine right now and I need to double that.

And then I need to move my SAKs and other non-military knives from the Wall of military/survival knives so I can an expand it. This will also allow me to moves some of  my military folders such as TL-29s,  riggers and utility knives over to this wall.

It's a rough life, fixing up the man cave.  Maybe when I retire, I'll do interior designing for men!

That one illuminated wall with all of the knives reminds me of the wall in Tobias' "Man Cave" with all his Scout knives mounted on it.

Victorinox and Wenger both make great kitchen cutlery. I have a couple small pieces but nothing major in the kitchen with Made in Switzerland on it.

Sean, I believe that the Presentation Master software is now no longer being supported by Victorinox. In fact, they were offering a full refund for anyone who owned one and wished to return it.

This appeared last year: http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/24/victorinox-secure-usb-flash-driv...

I hope this helps?

Hi everyone. I am new to the group. I hope to be a valued part of this group. I have been collecting SAK for a while now and will soon post some pics of my nifty ones.

Question? Does anyone have a Victorinox "Presentation Master? It seem I have erased the software that came with mine and I can't use it anymore to make power point presentions. Can anyone help me with this? Very much appreciated if you can.

Oh yeah,  About the pocket clip.  I think I'm in a minority. I tend to remove them if it is at all possible.  I don't like the feel in my hand and in Chicago, where I live, it just lets people know you have a knife and if they want to freak out and call the police, it is just going to get confiscated.  Knife with pocket clip = dangerous offensive concealed weapon.  Must have a permit!

Ron, The Hunter XT is sweet but I'm gonna be stubborn and stick with my SAK Hunter and/or Rescue Tool

The rescue tool has a glass saw but it'll work on wood.  The seat belt cutter will also work as a gutting blade. (same as your fireman)  The Hunter has a smaller gut hook blade and a good wood saw. (it is also a three layer instead of 4 layer  SAK.   The great thing about SAKs is the wide variety.  It really is hard to go wrong. (okay... I admit, I know I'll eventually pick up the XT, also - but I still like the Hunter.  It just looks good!)

For me the greatest drawback to this knife is the lack of a pocket clip. Yes, it does come with a sheath. But for a tactical knife like this--think Spyderco--I would prefer a clip over a sheath. Aside from that I'm sure that this knife, like all of Victorinox knives, will perform well in the field and prove itself to be a valuable tool for anyone who owns one. 

For me, personally, I will continue to carry a Spyderco Paramilitary 2 in my pocket and the Victorinox Hunter XT on my belt in its sheath. I prefer this particular model over the single blade of the Pro Hunter because of its versatility. It adds the gutting blade that I feel is requisite for any knife that purports itself to be a "Hunting Knife." In addition to the two locking blades on my North American Hunter XT I have a 4" saw and a Phillips screwdriver. Just like the one in the video review below...

So, that's where I stand in relation to this relatively new addition to the Victorinox line of knives -- The Pro Hunter. I'm sure that somewhere down the line I will acquiesce and buy one. But not necessarily to use. Only because I am a huge fan of these fine Swiss made knives and I feel that no Victorinox collection would be complete without adding the Pro Hunter.

For actual use, in the capacity of a one hand opening single bladed knife, I am content to use one of my Spyderco knives with their superior steel, S30V or better, in conjunction with my Vic Hunter XT...

I would say it is Vic response to the Buck Vantage and Ontario's folding RAT knives.  I suppose it is also there to be an alternative to Spyderco.

It's basically an ergonomically designed  Vic Centurion on Steroids   Were talking a 5 1/4 inch one hand / locking folding hunter.  To me, it looks like it has some nice lines.  At nine inches fully opened and locked, it is nothing to be sneezed at!
