Which is the better knives to collect case or victorinox?
Looking for quality and value.
I plan on carrying some. Who has the better steel?
I'd rather carry a SAK than a Case, because SAK's are very consistently well- made, unique in what you get (for me, toothpick + tweezers + corkscrew is reason enough, and I like the combo cap lifter bottle opener dealie, also their saws are great), and Case quality is spotty. Blade steels are equivalent IMO.
I don't think I'd collect either brand, but that's just me (I'm more of a spastic accumulator anyhow). Both brands have the potential to increase in value, but only for certain knives- figuring out which is which is the whole tricky bit.
Maybe buy a few that catch your eye from both, and see what you think?
