That's a handsome knoife OP. I'm a Huntsmanfag myself. No big difference †bh, although I do prefer the traditional handle to the ergonomic design. Also the Hunty has two blades which has come in handy - the big one for everything and the little one strictly for foodstuffs.

Your knife looks exactly like my Trekker (except I opted for the no serrations blade). I kept looking for the smallest difference that would distinguish a trekker from a trail master. Cannot find one, give up and go on google. Victorinox changed the name of the trekker to the trail master.

It's decent.
One hand opening and locking blade are nice.

Serrations are mild and don't interfere with cutting.

The longer saw helps a lot.

With a little practice you can open the regular ones one handed too.

Also being the official Bundeswehr knife mskes it way cool.

Been carrying this spartan for a while.
Been curious about a trekker or soldier but decided against it because it seemed like that liner lock would get munged up with dirt and grit, and that huge eye would catch cheese or whatever when using it for food. Was I wrong? Should I get one?

What on earth are you doing to find such a frequent use of scissors? They are closer to the bottom of the list for me. Just about anything I would use scissors for could be handled with a knife. Specially outdoors. My top two priorities on a multi function knife are the knife part and then probably pliers. For /out/ a small saw is nice for crafting but only desired when being part of a smaller kit that doesn't include a larger version. Also up there on the list is something to pry or gouge with. Whether it be a file or screwdriver or awl. Being able to feel comfortable doing the abuse work you wouldnt put a blade through is nice.

How useful is the little saw of a SAK actually? It doesn't seem to be long enough for sawing through larger firewood, and smaller branches can be simply broken by hand, so I don't see its utility.

I used the tip of blade as screwdriver many times while, about corkscrew, Switzerland borders Italy and France so I think, traditionally, it was designed for be sold there. Maybe future generations of SAK gonna be without corkscrew because global market require a more useful tool.
