Speaking to people who may look at a Swiss army knife as something they can use--- my recommendation is do not purchase multiple function tools because when you get them you will discover that they are not really multi functional and as you are using them you are desperately wishing for a real version of the tool you need. my best example is the three identical Leatherman tools I bought and took to Nepal. When I was working on various things there, I discovered that I always reach for the real tool instead of the Leatherman multi function. I had to ask myself when I was tightening a flat blade screw, which would I rather have-- this Leatherman or real screwdriver and my answer was always I want a real screwdriver. By the end of the trip I never use my Leatherman tools at all. Instead I gave one each to the man who had helped me the most in my travels. These men were very delighted and I guess later will discover how useless the Leatherman is. I found definitely that's the only reason to carry a Leatherman type tool is to give it away. They do make great gifts because people receiving them have never tried them and do not know how wastrel having one really is. I buy Swiss army knives because I enjoy looking at them and thinking about their various functions. I am purely a collector and have found through direct use that the multi function tool is better for looking at, so I do. But now Swiss army knife company is making so many different kinds, I think they're really selling to collectors and to people who find out that multifunction tools are not satisfying.

I wish I did my home worker before buying I bought one today for 120$ decided to search it after purchase and I see they are 50$ in my country.

You call the Compact best tool set on SAK, the you say parcel hook is useless. Sorry but I don't get the point XD. Parcel hook has a lot of uses actually one of which is keep the pen in place (under the closed hook)

Where did you go? 🤔

A non-locking knife is actually a huge plus in the UK since the ability to lock the blade would make it illegal to carry in public without a defence

I use the parcel hook to Cary plastic bags

btw the corner of the flathead works as a Philips, too. And also there is a small file for the fingernails.

Cons: plastic glass is easy to scratch

I lost my toothpick or it's somewhere around here we're can I get a replacement one?

Hi, thanks for this video, and how desable bip into "mute" mode please ?

wish it had a Phillips head instead of the hook, a can opener filed into a package opener hook, and a small nail file/cleaner… and maybe a partially serrated, locked, one-hand open main knife blade… and then maybe one more slot in the scales for… something 🤷🏻‍♂️ and somehow had Alox scales, while still having the various tool slots. …then it’d be a perfect knife 👌

If they'd make the tool a bit thicker to accommodate making the combo tool more robust (for prying), I would have bought my Compact sooner. The only reason I carry the Compact now is because I can go to my EDC bag and pull out the Leatherman Surge. 😂

Zero cons at that price! Love the retro look and it fits under a shirt or jacket cuff nicely

I too find the Compact to be the best EDC tool from Victorinox.

5 mins..... I'm in subscribed.

This is my favorite pocket knife. It has distilled the tools down to the most useful: Who doesn't need a corkscrew? I'm always the go-to guy at parties. It easily fits in my pocket. I have been buying these for years, each time I try to get a different color.They usually last me 4 or 5 years before I have to get a new one.

This is a rugged tool, not fine jewelry. Ditch the gloves.

The corkscrew is explicitly why this one is useful for me. I far more often need a pocket corkscrew than multibit set, but I guess that is the whimsy of the europeans.

There is a YT video about the many uses for the hook.

I got it. I love it. The blade has a bipolar personality disorder. 1 time thinks is a scalpel the next time thinks is a bayonette. 😄

very cool video thanks ! 👍🏻

I have it blue 💙 looks great in black ⚫️

The Compact is better in my opinion

The interior dividers are aluminium, not stainless steel. Unless you meant the springs ??

con: the strap size. 18mm? it should have been 22mm for that size and it's hard to find adaptors for it.

I found one on ebay for $12, free shipping. It said it was used but it was in brand new condition.

Subbed! Boom 💥

The alox cadet for me and sd clasic on my keys . Perfect.

I like the intro music

Huntsman is better in my opinion. He have scisors and saw. It's very useful tools.

You forgot to mention the needle hole near the corkscrew which can be used to store a pin or sewing needle (Victorinox even sell a purpose made needle to fit this). Very useful. I also find the corkscrew handy for loosening tight knots.

I love the knives I have 8 of different models but the scales are scratch magnets I wish they were more durable in that way.

Love my Compact!!!

Great concise review.

Love my Spartan, we been through a lot together.

I have my mums from sometime in the 80s so it’s older and I use it at scouts and in my garden

how do you strip a wire with that thing tho?

Gloves.....lol

best watch in the world

Absolutely right one of the best watches I found one the other day at Walmart for only $25 on sale

Часы зашли !!!

The con is no awl. Also a bigger nail file or a metal file/saw would be nice!

The parcel hook is great for removing drywall anchors from the wall. My bottle opener wouldn't pry it out but the hook got it right away.

A cross-head screw driver instead of the parcel hook would make it perfect!

contact cement is good for that

Best use of the hook is to lift it, put then pen in the slot, then close the hook over it. You can now write using the whole knife body as your pen.

Honestly prefer the Victorinox Evolution 14. I haven't had a need for the hook

Why not magnetize the pin so it can be used as a compass?

The “parcel hook” is the silliest tool in the Victorinox lineup. Yes, yes, it can also help you untangle your shoe laces but how often do you need that. After carrying an SAK daily for 30 years, I’m still waiting for that moment to arrive.

The only CON is Not having one.
