Victorinox Metal Saw & File

Several of the larger Swiss Army knives from Victorinox include a combination metal saw and metal file. This tool has a file on the two faces, and sharp saw teeth along one edge.

The file compares well with regular flat files, although it is smaller, of course.

When new, the metal saw is almost as sharp as a hacksaw blade, although it is much thicker and therefore will take longer to make a cut.

If you use the metal saw or metal file frequently, this is probably the first tool that will become dull on your Swiss Army knife, and it can't easily be sharpened. Because of that, you might want to reserve the metal saw for emergency use, or for times when it's the "just right" tool (for example, when cutting off a nail or bolt that you can't reach with a regular hack saw.)

You can also use this implement as a nail file.

The smallest Swiss Army knife that includes the metal saw/metal file is the Mountaineer.
