The Rucksack had it all: a lock blade, a saw, a cork screw, a can opener, a bottle opener. It had an easy mechanism for opening and closing the blade. Presumably, it was replaced by the Forester, which has the exact same features, except the lock is completely different. In order to close the Forester, you have to put your finger directly in the path of the closing blade, as opposed to the outside switch on the case of the knife. It's just not as easy. I've gone through numerous Rucksacks. I lose them, I give them away. Before I had that knife, I used a Huntsman. It's got the exact same features, except the blade does not lock. Everyone knows a real Swiss Army Knife is either a Victorinox or a Wenger, and the rest is preference. But for me, the Victorinox has great quality, great warranty service, and has the combination of tools I need in a pocket knife. So, back to the Rucksack. People on Ebay will generally sell them for 30-40$ US. It used to be less before they discontinued that particular model, but I still consider that a fair shake. There are Rucksacks available from Australia and Japan and I can only assume they are authentic or SAK would intervene. But let's say you can't find one and need a lock blade with a saw and not a huge knife. Assuming you want the old style lock system, you can get the Hunter, which is a rucksack without a can opener. You can even get it in green. The can opener has been replaced by a very small curved serrated knife for skinning a deer, I assume. Or, if you want to go larger you can get the Outlander, which includes scissors and is 2X the price. But generally, your current available option is the Forester, which, as mentioned above, has the exact same features, except that the locking mechanism is different and the bottle opener also locks (kind of nice). It's a bummer SAK discontinued such a sensible knife, but they didn't leave everyone out to dry on the line. In the meanwhile, there is Ebay.Read full review
