Did you know you that, for a small fee, you can replace that wood saw by sending it back to Victorinox? The other tools can be sharpened, like the awl or the can opener. That way you could bring that older knife back to the game. I say this because just a few days ago I sent a Workchamp to Victorinox to replace the metal file. Also, I buy new ones on occasion too because I’m crazy about SAKs. Thank you for the review and great choice on that green Farmer.
Alternatively, simply sharpen the saw. If this old girl can do it, so can you. A vice and small triangular Swiss file is all you need. Carefully follow the alternating angles of each saw tooth with two even strokes of the file and repeat until you have restored all the points; then lay the blade flat on a medium whetstone and gently remove the edge burrs on each side. xx
i have the silver farmer knife and used it for nearly 10 years and its never let me down the awl has seen most use but its easy enough to keep it sharp i use a diamond hone to keep it sharp.i cannot think of another knife that could replace it in my daily carry .we cannot carry lock knife in the U.K. so it has to be a slip joint and under 70mm orso in length . i do use couple of mora 810's for when i am out shooting and need a fixed blade for when i am doing some serious woodcraft and at the price of about £10 uk im not bothered if i bend or break one and they are razor sharp out of the box highly recommended piece of kit
One of my favorites too. Have you ever sent one back to Victorinox? I'm pretty sure they will replace the implements that have worn out. That may be a good video idea.
have you people heard of sharpening? damn, you can sharpen till there-s nothing left, you guys that replace are fkn insane in the head and in need of serious medication.
I know you have bought a new one and that’s fine they are good value. But you know the wear can be easily rectified. That awl will take a new point and the edge will resharpen, as would the blade. It’s the saw blade I know I couldn’t do, these knives with care and a bit of work will last you or me out

Hello there buddy I remember seeing this video a couple of years ago would you mind giving us a up date on the green victorinox farmer ??? If it's possible o yea the all new victorinox farmer x is now out and I've got to say that the victorinox farmer x is a outstanding Swiss Army knife I've been using the victorinox fieldmaster for many many years now and its a great edc knife but what I've noticed on the 93mm alox victorinox farmer x is everything on the farmer x is bigger and stronger than those 91mm Swiss army knives with the Red scales don't get me wrong I love the red handle 91mm Swiss Army knives but as I said I've moved over now from my victorinox fieldmaster to the farmer x even the back spring's are a lot bigger and stronger just a fantastic edc and those things last for every there made like a tank outstanding thanks again for sharing this with us by the way I really really like that green color I would love the farmer x in green anyway I'm starting to go on and on again thanks again buddy👍
Hey bud, I currently own the farmer, but find myself not using the saw at all. And I was thinking about picking up a pioneer. What exactly are you using the saw for? Why do you like having it?
Gavin D I actually use the wood saw for various repair tasks. Recently, I used it to saw through some PVC pipe while making some repairs around the house.
for me the pioneer is king.....i carry that pocket knife everywhere. i also have a rambler on my keys in case i need small phillips or to snip something with scissors. i would buy a farmer instead of my pioneer...but i live in the city and whenever i need a saw , i have a proper one at home....but the most frequently used saw by me is a hacksaw occasionally chop wood or plastic pipe with a wood saw for diy. so the pioneer is like the perfect knife for me with zero uselsess utility ...perfect size and weight too.

It’s not a bona fide knife review unless the presenter has at least one bandage on a finger.

🤣
We are keeping the Band-aid manufacturers in business ;)
It's my favourite as well but I would like to see a magnifying glass in it.

Say heah, Yeah, the Farmer is one of my Fav's. I also luv my RangerGrip 78. ,, .
Just sharpen the tools back up or see if Victorinox will replace the worn ones!
Woodland Tactical
Yeah, but that eliminates the “reason” for buying a new green one. 😁

The saw can be sharpened too to a certain degree: czcams.com/video/6vtErh2IZwI/video.html

Indeed, but as Felix says, it’s not recommended. It might be better to send it in and have Victorinox replace the saw blade.

do you need some warranty list or something ? if you want to sent it back to vic to replace the saw? Or is the knive alone enough?
only problem with the green one is when you put it down in the forest, bye bye
Good review, take a look at my can opener /screw driver mod
Thank you, I will check that out for sure!

What kind of ferro rod is that?
is this the olive or the green on dlt?
I have got the dark green farmer. I also really like my pioneer too. But no saw...
If you like the Pioneer check out the newer Pioneer X, no saw but scissors added which is even better.
